SAFETY, WARNINGS, INSTALLATION NOTES

It is important you read the following safety and warnings information.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

•This water heater is only intended to be operated by persons who have the

experience or the knowledge and the capabilities to do so.

•This water heater is not intended to be operated by persons with reduced

physical, sensory ormental capabilities i.e. the infirm, or by children. Children

should be supervised to ensure they do not interfere with the water heater.

•This water heater is supplied with a thermostat, an over-temperature cut-out,

and a combination temperature pressure relief valve. In addition, a

RheemPlus water heater has a temperature limiting valve. These devices

must not be tampered with or removed. The water heater must not be

operated unless each of these devices is fitted and is in working order.

The Rheem warranty may not cover faults if relief valves or other safety

devices are tampered with or if the installation is not in accordance with

these instructions.

•Do not modify this water heater.

•Do not use or store flammable

materials in or near this water heater.

Flammable liquids (such as petrol),

combustible materials (such as

newspapers) and similar articles must be

kept well away from thewater heater and

the flue terminal.

•Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of

this water heater while it is in operation.

Propellants and gases in many aerosol

sprays contain hydrocarbons which are

flammable. Gases from aerosol sprays

may also become corrosive when drawn

into a flame.

•Do not store swimming pool chemicals, household cleaners, etc., near the

water heater.

•Do not place articles on or against this water heater, or in contact with the

flue terminal. Ensure the flue terminal is not obstructed in any way at any

time.

SAFETY, WARNINGS, INSTALLATION NOTES

•The water heater will operate until a water temperature of up to 65°C is

reached, depending upon the thermostat setting. A Rheemglas®850 series

can deliver hot water at this temperature. A RheemPlus®854 series model is

temperature limited at the outlet to supply water not exceeding 50°C to

fixtures used primarily for personal hygiene.

Refer to “How Hot Should The Water Be?” on page 12 and “Temperature

Adjustment” on page 13.

•The lever on the temperature pressure relief valve and expansion control

valve (if fitted) requires to be operated every six (6) months to clear any

deposits and to ensure the valve and its drain line are not blocked.

Refer to “Relief Valves” on page 9 and “Minor Maintenance Every Six

Months” on page 16.

•For continued safety of this water heater it must be installed, operated and

maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Guide and Installation

Instructions.

•Servicing of a water heater must only be carried out by qualified personnel.

Phone Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent.

•Only a person qualified to install or service a water heater can drain the water

heater, if this is required.

RELIEF VALVES

Temperature Pressure Relief Valve

This water heater incorporates a temperature

pressure relief valve located near the topof the

water heater. This valve is essential for the

water heater’s safe operation.

It is possible for the valve to discharge a

quantity of water through the drain line during

each heating period. This quantity should be

equal to approximately 1/50 of the hot water

used, as water expands by this volume when

heated.

Expansion Control Valve

In many areas, including South Australia,

Western Australia and scaling water areas, it is

mandatory an expansion control valve is fitted

to the cold water line to the water heater.

The expansion control valve will discharge the quantity of water from its drain

line during the heating period instead of the temperature pressure relief valve as

it has a lower pressure rating.

SAFETY, WARNINGS, INSTALLATION NOTES

Valve Operation

Continuous leakage of water from either valve and its drain line may indicate a

problem with the water heater. Refer to “Temperature Pressure Relief Valve or

Expansion Control Valve Running” on page 25.

Warning: Never block the outlet of either valve or their drain lines for any

reason. A relief valve drain must be left open to atmosphere, and be installed in

a continuously downward direction.

In locations where water pipes are prone to freezing, the relief valve drain line

must be insulated and not exceed 300 mm in length before discharging into a

tundish through an air gap.

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 andits drainline

are not blocked. It is very important the lever

is raised and lowered gently. Refer to “Minor

Maintenance Every Six Months” on 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.

Warning: Failure to operate the easing lever on the relief valve once every

six (6) months may result in the water heater cylinder failing.

If water does not flow freely from the drain line when the lever is lifted, then the

waterheatermustbechecked.PhoneRheemServiceortheirnearestAccredited

Service Agent 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 “Water Supplies” on

page 19.
