CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CARE OF THE HEATER

Due to the ‘natural convection’ operating principle it is normal that some dust and fluff may build up at the air inlet and air outlet louvres over time. This will reduce operating effectiveness and may result in the appliance overheating if left for too long.

DO NOT use solvents to clean any parts.

To remove dust and clean the appliance:

1. Unplug the electric plug of the heater from the socket outlet before commencing cleaning.
2. Allow to cool down.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust and fluff from the inlet and outlet louvres.
4. All parts of the heater can be cleaned using a soft, damp cloth with some mild detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) if required.
5. Ensure the heater is dry before reconnecting to the electricity supply.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

• If the electric power cord or plug are damaged, they must be replaced by Rinnai or a Rinnai appointed service agent.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside the appliance. All service and repair work must be carried out by persons competent and permitted by law to do so.
• If the heater requires service or repair contact your supplier or Rinnai Australia.

DISPOSAL

• Electrical appliances may contain materials which, if handled or disposed off incorrectly, present a hazard to humans or the environment.
• DO NOT dispose of your old appliance with your household waste. Dispose of your old appliance at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure it presents no danger to children whilst being stored for disposal.

INSTALLATION

GENERAL

This heater is suitable for Do It Yourself installation. It can be either wall mounted (fixed installation) or freestanding by mounting castors in accordance with these instructions. A phillips head screwdriver is included for freestanding installation. For wall installation other tools and hardware may be required, depending on the wall material.

WALL INSTALLATION

The clearance from the sides, front and top of the heater must be at least 100mm as shown in the diagram below.

IMPORTANT

• This heater MUST NOT be located immediately below a socket-outlet.
• This heater MUST be positioned within one metre of a socket-outlet to ensure the flexible cord and plug can reach it.
• This heater is NOT designed to be built in.
• DO NOT attach the castors to the heater base for wall installations.
• The heater is suitable for installation in non-communal baths and shower areas or bathrooms. It is to be installed such that switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person in the bath or shower. Consult your licensed electrical trades person for installation in communal baths and shower areas or bathrooms.

1. Ensure the heater is unplugged from the power socket outlet and the ‘on / off’ switch is in the off position before commencing wall mounting.

2. For models PEPH15PEW & PEPH10PEW, loosen the locking screw and rotate the locking latch on the taller leg of the mounting bracket and detach the mounting bracket from the back of the panel heater.

For model PEPH22PEW, loosen the locking screw on each leg of the mounting bracket, depressing both to detach the mounting bracket from the back of the panel heater.

3. Position the mounting bracket on the wall. Ensure the two bottom mount holes are at least 175mm from the floor and drill holes as required.

4. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall with the 4 mounting screws. For masonry walls use the plastic plugs with screws provided. For plaster walls obtain suitable plasterboard fasteners from a building hardware supplier.

5. Re-attach heater to the mounting bracket (reverse method of step 2.) and secure with the locking screw(s).

6. Remove the cable tie from the flexible cord and insert the 2 pin plug of the heater into the power socket outlet. DO NOT bundle or coil the flexible cord to reduce it’s length as overheating and subsequent fire hazard could result.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION

1. Be sure heater is unplugged and power switches are off.
2. Place the heater in an ‘upside down’ position with the back of the heater facing you.
3. Assemble the 2 castors A to the each castor bracket B by pushing the metal shaft fully home.
4. With the front end of the castor support bracket pointed towards the front of the heater, align the four locating tabs C with the four of the outer most air inlets D then push down and forward until the tabs are fully engaged with the heater. Then secure each of the castor brackets in place with retaining screws E, using two for each.
5. Remove the cable tie from the flexible cord and insert the 2 pin plug of the heater into the power socket outlet. DO NOT bundle or coil the flexible cord to reduce it’s length as overheating and subsequent fire hazard could result.
