Important Notes - Rheem XpressHot Getting Started Manual

STORING YOUR XPRESSHOT: When the unit is not in use for an
extended period of time, it is recommended to place the unit in storage.
Unhook all electrical and water lines and hold the tank upside down to
remove most of the water. When resuming use, make sure to install a new
filter and first clear all the water in the tank by running hot water through
the unit.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Never run water through your XpressHot without a filter.
As with all electrical appliances, under no circumstances should
you attempt to repair or disassemble this water heater without first
shutting off all power to the unit directly at the fuse or circuit breaker.
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR IF YOU
IGNORE THIS WARNING.
If you have a water supply with a high level of mineralization (hard water),
you should increase the frequency of your maintenance.
SCALDING HAZARD: The spout delivers near-boiling 208°F (98°C)
water, which can cause instant burns or scalding. Use care when
operating this appliance. This product is not intended for use by small
children, disabled, or elderly persons unless given instructions or
supervision by a person responsible for their safety. To reduce the risk
of injury, children should not play with the hot water tap and should be
closely supervised when the appliance is in use.
NOTICE: If XpressHot is installed at high altitudes, water will boil at lower temperatures
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: The use of an ungrounded or
improperly connected appliance can result in serious injury or death
from electrical shock.
The XpressHot must be grounded and is equipped with a cord that
includes a grounding conductor and a grounding pin. The plug must
connect to a properly installed and grounded outlet that complies with
all local codes and ordinances. If the provided plug does not fit the
outlet, have a compliant, grounded one installed. Always check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if your XpressHot
is properly grounded.
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY: This tank is non-pressurized. Under no
circumstances should you modify this system. DO NOT close the vent
tube or connect other faucets, dispensers or valves to the tank. Use
only the XpressHot faucet or dispenser and parts provided. For repairs
or component replacements, contact a Rheem service agent.
FIRE HAZARD: NEVER store flammable items such as rags, paper
or aerosol cans near the tank. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other
flammable substances near the XpressHot or any other appliance.
LEAK HAZARD: Regularly inspect the faucet or dispenser and
plumbing fittings for leaks, which can cause property damage and/or
result in personal injury. If installed in a place where leaks could cause
property damage, a drain pan should be used.
PROPERTY DAMAGE: Replace any loose or split tubing right away to
avoid potential water damage. Conduct regular inspections to catch
any signs of leakage. If you suspect a leak, immediately stop using the
XpressHot until a technician can inspect it.
As with any appliance, after many years of use, the XpressHot will
eventually start to fail. To mitigate possible personal injury or property
damage, the unit should be periodically checked for any signs of
leaks and/or corrosion and replaced as necessary. Inspect the
appearance of the water in a clear glass once every three (3) months.
If there are any signs of discoloration, unplug and drain the tank. If the
discoloration persists after draining and refilling, stop product use and
contact a Rheem service agent.
