ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for
the purpose of heating potable water. Its use in an application other than this
may shorten its life.
MODEL TYPE
The Rheem
®
water heater you have chosen will be either a Rheemglas
®
or
RheemPlus™ model.
Rheemglas models are available with either a single heating unit or with twin
heating units and the RheemPlus models are available with a single heating
unit only (refer to “Single Element Model” on page 7 and “Twin Element Model”
on page 7). A water heater with a supply cord and plug is suitable for indoor
installation only. All other water heaters can be installed indoor or outdoor.
Water is stored in a vitreous enamel lined steel cylinder and heated by the
electric immersion heating unit. The thermostat controls the temperature.
Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater to provide safe and
efficient operation.
Depending on the model of water heater, it may have caps or brass plugs on
one side of the tank. The plugs and caps block off alternative connection points
and are not to be tampered with or removed.
HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?
The water heater features an
adjustable thermostat, which allows
you to choose the most suitable
temperature for your hot water needs.
Refer to “Temperature Adjustment” on
page 5.
A RheemPlus water heater is
temperature limited to deliver water not
exceeding 50°C.
To meet the requirements of the
National Plumbing Standard the
temperature of the stored water must
not be below 60°C.
