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