MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
MAJOR SERVICE EVERY FIVE YEARS
It is recommended a major service be conducted on the water heater every
five (5) years.
Warning: Servicing of a water heater must only be carried out by qualified
personnel. Phone Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent.
Note: The major service and routine replacement of any components, such as
the relief valve(s), are not included in the Rheem warranty. A charge will be made
for this work. Only genuine replacement parts should be used on this water
heater.
The major service includes the following actions:
Replace the temperature pressure relief valve.
Inspect and flush the expansion control valve (if fitted). If required, replace
the valve.
Check the electric heating unit for excessive calcium build up or corrosion
and replace if necessary.
Visually check the unit for any potential problems.
Inspect all connections.
Check the drain line from the safe tray (if one is installed) is not blocked.
Note: The water heater may need to be drained during this service. After the
completion of the service, the water heater will take some time to reheat the
water. Depending upon the power supply connection, hot water may not be
available until the next day.
