4 ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER MODEL TYPE Congratulations for choosing a Rheem ® Heavy Duty Gas water heater. The model you have chosen is a quick recovery water heater. HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE? The water heater features a user adjustable thermostat, which allows you to personally choose the most suitable temperature for your hot water needs.
ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER 5 To increase the water temperature to 65 ° C, turn the gas control knob anticlockwise to a setting of ‘7’. Refer to “Hotter Water Increases the Risk of Scald Injury” on page 4. WARNING This water heater is not intended to be operated, adjusted or tampered with by young children or infirm persons.
ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER 6 TO TURN OFF THE WATER HEATER If it is necessary to turn off the water heater: • Shut down the gas control (refer to “Close Down Procedure” on page 36). • Close the gas isolation valve at the inlet to the gas control. • Close the cold water isolation valve at the inlet to the water heater.
ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER 7 ANODE PROTECTION The anode(s) installed in your water heater will slowly dissipate whilst protecting the cylinder. The life of the water heater cylinder may be extended by arranging for an authorised person to inspect the anode(s) and replace if required.
8 HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS 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 of the cylinder and through the wall of a flue pipe which passes through the centre of the cylin der.
9 REGULAR CARE TEMPERATURE PRE SSU RE R ELIEF VAL VE This valve is near the top of the water heater and is essential for its safe operation. It is possible for the valve to release a little water through the drain line during each heating period. This occurs as the water is heated and expands by approximately 1/50 of its volume.
REGULAR CARE 10 EXPANSION CONTROL VALVE In many areas, including South Australia, Western Australia and scaling water areas, an expansion control valve is fitted to the cold water line to the water heater. Water will flow from its drain line during the heating period.
11 SAVE A SERVICE CALL Check the items below before making a service call. You will be charged for attending to any condition or fault that is n ot related to manufacture or failure of a part.
SAVE A SERVICE CALL 12 CAN’T LIGHT THE PILOT FLAME • Is there gas to the water heater? Check the gas isolation valve on the gas supply line is open. • Is there a normal gas supply to the rest of the premises? Try lighting another gas appliance to check.
SAVE A SERVICE CALL 13 EXPANSION CONTROL VALVE RUNNING If an expansion control valve is fitted in th e cold water line to the water heater (refer to page 23 ) it may discharge a small quantity of water instead of the temperature pressure relief valve on the water heater.
