SAFETY, WARNINGS, INSTALLATION NOTES

It is important you read the following safety and warnings information.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

This water heater is only intended to be operated by persons who have the

experience or the knowledge and the capabilities to do so.

This water heater is not intended to be operated by persons with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities i.e. the infirm, or by children. Children

should be supervised to ensure they do not interfere with the water heater.

This water heater is supplied with a thermostat, an over-temperature cut-out,

and a combination temperature pressure relief valve. These devices must not

be tampered with or removed. The water heater must not be operated unless

each of these devices is fitted and is in working order.

The Rheem warranty may not cover faults if relief valves or other safety

devices are tampered with or if the installation is not in accordance with

these instructions.

Do not modify this water heater.

Do not use or store flammable

materials in or near this water heater.

Flammable liquids (such as petrol),

combustible materials (such as

newspapers) and similar articles must be

kept well away from the water heater and

the flue terminal.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of

this water heater while it is in operation.

Propellants and gases in many aerosol

sprays contain hydrocarbons which are

flammable. Gases from aerosol sprays

may also become corrosive when drawn

into a flame.

Do not store swimming pool chemicals, household cleaners, etc., near the

water heater.

Do not place articles on or against this water heater, or in contact with the

flue terminal. Ensure the flue terminal is not obstructed in any way at any

time.

SAFETY, WARNINGS, INSTALLATION NOTES

The water heater will operate until a water temperature of up to 65°C is

reached, depending upon the thermostat setting.

Refer to “How Hot Should The Water Be?” on page 13 and “Temperature

Adjustment” on page 14.

The lever on the temperature pressure relief valve and expansion control

valve (if fitted) requires to be operated every six (6) months to clear any

deposits and to ensure the valve and its drain line are not blocked.

Refer to “Relief Valves” on page 10 and “Minor Maintenance Every Six

Months” on page 17.

For continued safety of this water heater it must be installed, operated and

maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Guide and Installation

Instructions.

Servicing of a water heater must only be carried out by qualified personnel.

Phone Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent.

Only a person qualified to install or service a water heater can drain the water

heater, if this is required.

RELIEF VALVES

Temperature Pressure Relief Valve

This water heater incorporates a temperature

pressure relief valve located near the top of the

water heater. This valve is essential for the

water heater’s safe operation.

It is possible for the valve to discharge a

quantity of water through the drain line during

each heating period. This quantity should be

equal to approximately 1/50 of the hot water

used, as water expands by this volume when

heated.

Expansion Control Valve

In many areas, including South Australia,

Western Australia, New Zealand and scaling

water areas, it is mandatory an expansion

control valve is fitted to the cold water line to

the water heater.

The expansion control valve will discharge the quantity of water from its drain

line during the heating period instead of the temperature pressure relief valve as

it has a lower pressure rating.
