Handling and transportation
Electrical supply
Rinnai does not endorse the use of power supplies that supply clipped waveform AC power to the
appliance and will not warrant any product connected to such a supply. Similarly if an appliance is
supplied with an over-voltage / overcurrent supply, this is also not warrantable.
Voltage and frequency that matches the NZ legislative requirement for 230 V AC mains supply:
- Must be a standard 230 V nominal voltage
- Must be kept within 6% of that voltage, except for momentary uctuations
- The frequency of electricity supplied must be maintained with 1.5% of 50 Hz, except for
momentary uctuations
- Must conform to a full sinusoidal AC waveform
Regardless of the means of that power generation, normal warranty provisions will apply. This
means if your generator or inverter is able to provide power to the Enviroo within the specication
above, then the appliance will function correctly with a low chance of power supply related issues.
The Rinnai Enviroo must be transported at an angle no greater than 45° from vertical. The
compressor unit is located at the top of the heat pump and if tilted greater than 45°, the lubrication
oil within the compressor can run down the mufflers. This will leave the compressor motor without
sufficient lubrication and lead to the premature failure of the compressor unit. Tilting the system
beyond 45° will also place undue strain on the compressor motor mouths and associated piping,
It is good practise to keep the compressor as upright as possible—returning the unit to a vertical
position will allow the oil to properly flow back into the compressor motor.
45°
IMPORTANT
DO NOT tilt more than 45° from vertical
The refrigerant used in the heat pump
(R290 Propane) is a ammable gas.
The appliance shall be stored and transported in
an area without ignition sources (for example open
ames, an operating gas appliance or an operating
electric heater).
DO NOT pierce or burn.
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an
odour.
Compliance with AS/NZS 5149 MUST be observed
while storing the appliance.
