ABOUT YOUR BOILING WATER UNIT

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing our Rheem Boiling Water Unit. Please take a few minutes to

read this booklet because it contains important information about the correct

installation and operation of your boiling water unit. The Rheem Boiling Water Unit

supplies boiling water. It is made from high quality copper and is designed to be

installed indoors. The Rheem Boiling Water Unit is supplied with all the required

safety controls for installation (not including the isolation valve prior to the boiling

water unit).

WARNING:

This boiling water unit is only intended to be operated by persons who have the

experience or the knowledge and the capabilities to do so. This boiling water

unit is not intended to be operated by persons with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities i.e. the infirm, or by children. Children should be supervised

to ensure they do not interfere with the boiling water unit.

This boiling water unit uses 230-240 V AC electrical power for operation of the

control systems and the electrically operated components. The removal of the

access cover(s) will expose 230-240 V wiring. They must only be removed by a

qualified person.

SAFETY

This boiling water unit is supplied with an over temperature cut-out on the boiling

element to prevent element burn out in the event of control failure. If the electrical

supply cord to the boiling water unit is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified

competent person in order to avoid becoming a hazard. In Australia phone Rheem

Service on 131 031, in New Zealand phone your nearest Rheem Service Centre on

0800 657 335 for an inspection. For extra electrical protection against power surges

and spikes it is recommended that the user install a surge protector prior to the

boiling water unit.

WARNING:

The Rheem warranty may not cover faults if any of the installed safety devices

are tampered with.

TO TURN OFF THE BOILING WATER UNIT

The boiling water units are supplied with a programmable timer (see page 6), Rheem

recommend the timer function be used to conserve energy.

If it is necessary to turn off the boiling water unit:

• Switch off the electrical supply at the isolating switch to the boiling water unit.

• Close the cold water isolation valve at the inlet to the boiling water unit.

TO TURN ON THE BOILING WATER UNIT

• Open the cold water isolation valve fully on the cold water line to the boiling water

unit.

• Switch on the electrical supply at the isolating switch to the boiling water unit.

Note:

The boiling water unit may not appear to turn on immediately when it is first switched

on as the electronic controller will automatically check the system prior to allowing

water into the boiling water unit (this could be up to 10 seconds).

On initial start up after installation, this boiling water unit automatically runs through

a set-up cycle to detect the boiling point of water. During this cycle steam may

discharge from the vent pipe for a short time. This set-up cycle will take up to 18-30

minutes depending on unit, and when completed (boiling point detected) the unit will

commence incremental filling. It is important NOT to operate the tap during the set-up

cycle because it may affect the operating temperature of the unit.

IS THIS BOILING WATER UNIT INSTALLED CORRECTLY?

Installation requirements are shown under Installation (on page 18).

The boiling water unit must be installed:

•by a qualified person, and

•in accordance with the installation instructions, and

•in compliance with Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS/NZS 3000 and all local

codes and regulatory authority requirements.

In New Zealand, the installation must also conform to Clause G12 of the New Zealand Building Code

DOES THE WATER QUALITY AFFECT THE BOILING WATER UNIT?

The boiling water unit is suitable for most public water supplies, however some water

qualities may have detrimental effects on the boiling water unit, its components

and

fittings. If you are in a known harsh water area you must first read Water Supplies

(on page 16). If you are not sure, have your water quality checked against the

conditions described on page 16.

HOW LONG WILL THE BOILING WATER UNIT LAST?

There are a number of factors that will affect the length of service the boiling water

unit will provide. These include but are not limited to the water quality, the water

usage pattern etc.

Refer to “Precautions” below However, your boiling water unit is

supported by a comprehensive Rheem warranty (refer “Rheem Warranty” on page

28).

PRECAUTIONS

The boiling water unit must be maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Guide and

Installation Instructions.

If this boiling water unit is to be used where an uninterrupted boiling water supply is

necessary for your application or business you should ensure that you have back up

redundancy within the building. This should ensure the continuity of boiling water

supply in the event that this boiling water unit were to become inoperable for any

reason. We recommend you seek advice from your plumber or specifier about your

needs and building back up redundancy.

HOW YOUR BOILING WATER UNIT WORKS

The boiling water unit is designed to operate using mains water pressure by

connecting directly to the mains water supply. If the mains supply pressure in your

area exceeds 1000kPa a secondary pressure limiting valve must be fitted. The

supply pressure should be greater than 50 kPa (3-10Litre), 75kPa (15-25L) or

100kPa (40L) for the Rheem Boiling Water Unit operating to its optimum

performance.

BOILING WATER

The Rheem Boiling Water Unit is electronically controlled to obtain the maximum

performance, and incorporates further safety devices to prevent over temperature

and over filling.

ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER & TIMER

Your Rheem boiling water unit incorporates smart heating software and an electronic

timer to obtain the best efficiency for the energy used. The electronic timer allows the

user to program when the unit is on or off and when the sleep mode activates to

save energy. Also the operator has the availability to indicate and diagnose any

system faults that occur without the need to unnecessarily call for a service

technician. (Refer “Setting the Timer” on page 7)
