SAFETY INFORMATION

Rinnai Australia - 6 - Rinnai Luminaire® Outdoor Gas Fire - Operation and Installation Manual

Gas Installation Using a Gas Cylinder

Step 1. Read and understand the information in

this manual, in particular the items under

"Safety Information".

Step 2. Ensure the control knob is in the "OFF"

position as shown.

Step 3. Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder

by turning the coupling nut anti-clockwise

to tighten to a full stop (left hand thread).

The seal has now engaged. An additional

one half to three quarter turn is required to

complete the connection. If your regulator

has a plastic type hand wheel DO NOT

use tools. Tighten by hand only. 

Use a spanner on brass hexagon type

nuts, DO NOT over tighten.

Step 4. Make a soapy solution by mixing one part

liquid detergent (such as dish-washing

liquid) and four parts water.

Step 5. Open the gas valve on the cylinder by

turning it anticlockwise.

Step 6. Apply the soapy solution to all visible gas

connections in the vicinity of the cylinder

and regulator. Gas leaks will show as

small bubbles gradually increasing in size

in the soapy solution.

Step 7. If there is a gas leak from the connection

between the regulator and gas cylinder,

close the gas valve on the cylinder by

turning it clockwise. Disconnect the

regulator and hose assembly from the

cylinder by turning the coupling nut

clockwise to disengage. Inspect for debris

inside the cylinder fitting and the fitting at

the end of the regulator. Remove debris

and reconnect as per step 3). Retest for

gas leaks.

Step 8. Removal of the gas hose, regulator and

cylinder is the reverse of the connection

procedure.

If there is still a gas leak from the connection between the regulator and gas

cylinder or any other connections contact your gas supplier or Rinnai for

assistance. Connections other than the connection between the regulator

and gas cylinder must only be altered by an authorised person.

If gas leaks are present DO NOT operate the Rinnai Luminaire® Outdoor Gas

Fire.
