ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY
This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding.
Check the water temperature before use, such as when entering a shower or
filling a bath or basin, to ensure it is suitable for the application and will not cause
scald injury.
We recommend and it may also be required by regulations that an approved
temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water pipe work to the bathroom
and ensuite when the water heater is installed. This will keep the water
temperature below 50°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of scald injury will
be reduced and still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry.
WARNING
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 uses 240 V AC power for the electrically operated components.
The removal of the front cover(s) will expose 240 V wiring. It must only be
removed by a qualified person.
SAFETY
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 operation of the over-temperature cut-out on the thermostat indicates a
possibly dangerous situation. If the over-temperature cut-out operates, it must
not be reset and the water heater must be serviced by a qualified person.
If the electrical conduit to the water heater is damaged, it must be replaced by a
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Phone Rheem Service or their
nearest Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.
