ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

WATER HEATER APPLICATION

This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for

the purpose of heating potable water. Its use in an application other than this

may shorten its life.

MODEL TYPE

The Rheem®water heater model you have chosen is

suitable for outdoor installation only. The model is a

high efficiency, quick recovery 850 series Stellar™

water heater.

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, top and wall of the cylinder and

through the wall of a flue pipe which passes through the

centre of the cylinder. A flue baffle in this flue ensures

the efficiency of the water heater is correct. The gas

supply to the burner is controlled by the thermostat so

the water is heated to a constant temperature.

Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater to provide safe and

efficient operation.

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. Refer to “Temperature

Adjustment” on page 5.

To meet the requirements of the National

Plumbing Standard the temperature of the

stored water must not be below 60°C.

Note: AS 3498 requires that a water heater

provides the means to inhibit the growth of

Legionella bacteria in potable water. This

water heater can satisfy this AS 3498

requirement provided it is operating and the

thermostat setting is 60°C or higher, including

when it is used as an in-series booster water

heater for a solar water heater.

ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY

This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding.

Check the water temperature before use, such as when entering a shower or

filling a bath or basin, to ensure it is suitable for the application and will not

cause scald injury.

We recommend and it may also be required by regulations that an approved

temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water pipe work to the

bathroom and ensuite when this water heater is installed. This will keep the

water temperature below 50°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of scald

injury will be reduced and still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

The temperature adjusting dial is on the

gas valve, located behind the access cover

on the lower front of the water heater. A

setting of ‘6’ will normally maintain the

water temperature at about 60°C. Each

number represents a temperature

difference of approximately 6°C.

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 5.

PIEZO IGNITION

The “Piezo” push button igniter makes

lighting the pilot flame of your water heater

very easy. Simply follow the instructions on

the label attached to the back of the access

door. There is no need for matches to light

the water heater.

PILOT IGNITER

A permanent pilot flame burns to ignite the

main burner automatically. Heat from the

pilot is absorbed by the water.

ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

WARNING

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 or

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

to ensure they do not interfere with the water heater.

SAFETY

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

thermocouple with thermal switch and a combination temperature pressure

relief 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.

Warning: For continued safety of this water heater it must be installed,

operated and maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Guide and Installation

Instructions.

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 store flammable or

combustible materials near the water

heater. Flammable liquids (such as

petrol), newspapers and similar articles

must be kept well away from the water

heater and the flue terminal.

Do not use aerosols, stain removers

and household chemicals near the

water heater whilst it is working. Gases

from some aerosol sprays, stain

removers and household chemicals

become corrosive when drawn into a

flame.

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

the water heater.

Do not place anything on top of the water heater or in contact with the flue

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

Do not use Propane / Butane gas mixtures in a Propane model. A Propane

model is designed to operate on Propane only. The use of

Propane / Butane mixture, such as automotive LPG fuel, in a Propane

model is unsafe and can cause damage to the water heater.

ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

MAINS PRESSURE

The water heater is designed to operate at mains pressure by connecting

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

exceeds that shown on page 23, a pressure limiting valve must be fitted. The

supply pressure should be greater than 350 kPa for true mains pressure

operation to be achieved.

PRECAUTIONS

Where damage to property can occur in the event of the water heater leaking,

the water heater must be installed in a safe tray. Construction, installation and

draining of a safe tray must comply with AS/NZS 3500.4 and all local codes

and regulatory authority requirements.

The water heater must be maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Guide

and Installation Instructions. Refer to “Maintenance Requirements” on page 9

and to “Anode Inspection and Replacement” on page 14.

If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is

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

back-up redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure

the continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater 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 into

your hot water supply system.

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 38).

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.

TO TURN ON THE WATER HEATER

Open the cold water isolation valve fully at the inlet to the water heater.

Open the gas isolation valve fully at the inlet to the gas control.

Light the water heater (refer to “Lighting the Water Heater” on page 36).

GOING ON HOLIDAYS

If you are going on holiday for more than a few days the thermostat can be set

to the “” (pilot) position to conserve energy (refer to point 1 of “Close Down

Procedure” on page 38). If it is necessary to turn off the water heater, refer to

“To Turn Off The Water Heater” on page 7.
