WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Rinnai 6 ORH OIM

RADIANT HEATING PRINCIPLES

Radiant heat is widely regarded as the most

comfortable, healthiest and most natural form

of outdoor heating available. This heating type

is based on the same primary source of heat

we know - the warmth of the sun. It warms you

and the objects around you instead of the air.

The warmth felt from the sun is not warm air but

infra-red energy. Like the sun, radiant energy

from the heater moves in straight lines, directly

warming the people and objects in its path

which in turn acts as small heat convectors,

giving off their own gentle heat to enhance

people feeling warm.

This radiant heating principle is common to all 4

models, regardless of the wattage of the heater.

As the wattage and product length increases

the heating footprint will be greater.

FEATURES

This outdoor radiant heater uses electricity as the heating medium. It operates on the infrared radiant heating

principle directly warming people and objects in the area instead of the air within it.

Ease of Installation & Operation

Suitably sized 3 pin plugs are provided to allow for ease of installation to a wall socket. It is designed to be

plugged into a circuit that has an operating isolation switch within reach of the user which enables the heater to

be switched on or off.

Silent Operation

Electric element operation eliminates fan noise.

Draft Free

Non fan operation also means no drafts.

IP65

Water ingress protection allows for safe cleaning of the external heater casing using a typical low pressure

garden hose or by using a wet sponge.

OUTDOOR RADIANT HEATER MOUNTING

This outdoor radiant heater comes with a pair of stainless steel adjustable angle mounting brackets� The adjustable

angle enables the heater to be installed on vertical, horizontal and inclined surfaces�

The ideal mounting position is directly above the area to be heated with a longitudinal orientation and facing

vertically downwards� If this is not possible, the heater(s) can be mounted on a wall and angled downwards� For

this application ensure the mounting height is within 2�1m to 2�7m�

WARNING

The heater must never be installed in the upwards or inwards facing position, the heating surface

must always be positioned to direct the heat in a downwards or outwards direction.
