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 model you have chosen is
suitable for outdoor installation only. The model is a
high efficiency, quick recovery 850 series Stellar™
water heater.
Water is stored in a vitreous enamel lined steel cylinder
and heated by a gas burner located under the cylinder.
The heat produced by the burner is transferred to the
water through the base, top and wall of the cylinder and
through the wall of a flue pipe which passes through the
centre of the cylinder. A flue baffle in this flue ensures
the efficiency of the water heater is correct. The gas
supply to the burner is controlled by the thermostat so
the water is heated to a constant temperature.
Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater to provide safe and
efficient operation.

thermostat, which allows you to personally
choose the most suitable temperature for your
hot water needs. Refer to
