ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The water heater features a tradesperson adjustable thermostat. This requires a licensed electrical worker to
make any temperature adjustments. The thermostat is factory set at 60°C. The thermostat has a maximum
temperature setting of 70°C and a minimum temperature setting of 60°C.
We advise you have a licensed electrical worker adjust the thermostat to the lowest setting which meets your
needs, especially if there are young children or elderly people in the home. Refer to
the Risk of Scald Injury"
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 cannot be reset and the water heater must be serviced by a qualified
person.
If the electrical conduit to the solar storage tank 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.
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.
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 uses 240 V AC power for the electrically operated components. The removal of the side
cover will expose 240 V wiring. It must only be removed by a qualified person.

Do not touch any exposed pipe work or fittings connecting the solar storage tank and the solar collectors,
as this may result in a burn injury. Very high temperature hot water and in some circumstances high
temperature steam can be generated by the solar collectors under certain conditions and this flows
through the pipe work from the solar collectors to the solar storage tank.
Note: Any exposed pipe work or fittings in the collector circuit should be attended to and covered with
insulation. Phone Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.

For continued safety of this water heater it must be installed, operated and maintained in accordance with
the Owner's Guide and Installation Instructions.
