Save A Service Call - Rheem 090 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

Check the items below before making a service call. You will be charged for
attending to any condition or fault that is not related to manufacture or failure of
a part.
NOT ENOUGH HOT WATER (OR NO HOT WATER)

Are you using more hot water than you think?
Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water than you think?
Very often it is not realised the amount
of hot water used, particularly when
showering. Carefully review the family's
hot water usage.
Have a plumber fit a flow control valve to
each shower outlet to reduce water
usage.

Pilot flame alight?
Check the pilot flame is burning by
removing the access cover. Relight the
pilot flame according to the lighting
instructions.
