LIGHTING THE WATER HEATER
TEST THE WATER HEATER AFTER INSTALLATION
•
The operation of the water heater must be thoroughly checked by the
installer.
•
The burner flame must light smoothly and quickly from the pilot flame, and
must go out quietly and completely.
•
The main burner flame must be stable, although slight lifting at the front edge
of the burner is acceptable when the burner is cold.
•
The main burner flame should be blue, with a clearly defined inner cone -
luminous yellow or "floating" flames are not acceptable.
•
Check the test point pressure and compare with the rating label. The pressure
regulator is not adjustable and if the test point pressure is not within 5% of
the specified value, refer to Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited
Service Agent.

If unable to get the water heater working properly, contact Rheem Service or
their nearest Accredited Service Agent.
•
When satisfied everything is working properly instruct the user in the correct
method of operation.
