Evolve 950 Operation Guide: 12472-A | 9
General information
Before operation please read these instructions to get an overview of how to
operate, maintain and service your Rinnai gas fire.
Electrical connection
The Evolve 950 is
fitted with a
1.5 m power cord
and 3-pin plug.
The standard
electrical connection is to the
right hand side of the heater.
If necessary this can be
changed by your electrician
to terminate on the left.
The connection is either
direct wired* or connected
to a power point within
the cavity. This must be
connected to a dedicated
earthed power point. The
electric isolation switch
must be accessible after the
appliance has been installed.
The heater must not be
located immediately below a
socket outlet (potential fire
hazard).
If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by a
licensed tradesperson.
This must be a genuine
replacement part available
from Rinnai, part number
6765B.
Installation by a licensed
tradesperson
Ensure your installer talks
to you about the use and
care of this appliance, and
that you understand these
instructions. The installer
also needs to complete
the appliance installation
checklist and installer details,
and leave this guide with you.
Power failure
If the power is disrupted
while the heater is operating,
once the power is restored,
the heater will go into power
failure mode—there will be
flashing zeros in the error
display (top fold on the lower
left of the outer frame), and
the lower LED indicator on
the control panel will flash
green.
To reset the heater, press
the On/Off button on the
control panel twice, or use
the remote control and press
the Standby/On button once
(to go on standby) and then
a second time to turn the
heater on.
Safety devices
Your Rinnai Evolve 950 has
the following safety devices:
- flame failure sensing
system
- pressure relief
- overheat safety switch
- air temperature sensor
- thermal fuse
- overcurrent fuse
- spark detector
Soot deposits
Small soot deposits inside
the heater or glass is normal.
Significant soot build-up
however is not normal and
will require a service call.
Refer to the troubleshooting
section for further
information.
TV installation above the
fireplace
The Evolve
has a fan that
distributes
warm air from
the top of the appliance out
into the room. As warm air
is dispersed outwards, as
opposed to directly upwards,
installation of a TV may be an
option.
Generally the bottom of
the television recess should
be at least 400 mm above
the fire. Please check with
the television supplier to
check clearances. Some
television manufacturers
have warranty conditions that
state a television is not to be
installed above a fireplace.
For further information,
please contact Rinnai or refer
to the installation manual.
This illustrates recommended
minimum clearances when
installing a TV directly above
the unit or into a recess.
* Consult a qualified electrician if direct wiring is required as it must comply with AS/NZS 5601 and AS/NZS 3000 and other
relevant local regulations
