SAFETY, WARNINGS, INSTALLATION NOTES
Operate the easing lever on the temperature
pressure relief valve and expansion control
valve once every six (6) months to clear any
deposits and ensure the valve and its drain
line are not blocked. It is very important the
lever is raised and lowered gently. Refer to
"Minor Maintenance Every Six Months"
page 16.
Warning: Water discharged from the
temperature pressure relief valve drain line
will be hot. Exercise care to avoid any
splashing of water by standing clear of the
drain line's point of discharge when operating
either valve's easing lever.
DANGER: Failure to operate the easing lever on the relief valve once every
six (6) months may result in the water heater cylinder failing, or under certain
circumstances, exploding.
If water does not flow freely from the drain line when the lever is lifted, then the
water heater must be checked. Phone your Rheem Service Centre to arrange
for an inspection.
The temperature pressure relief valve should be replaced at intervals not
exceeding five (5) years and the expansion control valve should be checked for
performance or replaced at intervals not exceeding five (5) years. The checking
of the valves performance or replacement should occur more frequently in areas
where there is a high incidence of water deposits. Refer to
page 17.
