The Rinnai Graduate MkII / Titan MkII / Galaxie MkII / Granada MkII is an unflued, fan-assisted, radiant/convection gas space heater designed for efficient room heating. It operates on either Natural Gas or Propane, depending on the specific model and region.

Function Description:

This appliance functions as a flueless space heater, meaning it does not require a flue or chimney for operation. It utilizes both radiant heat from its jewel cut plaque burner and convection heat, circulated by a large capacity fan, to warm the room effectively. The heater features electronic automatic ignition for ease of use and a push-button, top-mounted control panel for managing its operation.
