ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

HOW LONG WILL THE WATER HEATER LAST?

There are a number of factors that will affect the length of service the water heater will provide. These

include the water chemistry, the water pressure, temperature (inlet and outlet) and the water usage pattern.

However, your water heater is supported by a comprehensive warranty (refer to page 76).

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

The jacket of the water heater can be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm mild soapy water. Under no

circumstances should abrasive materials or powders be used.

SERVICING

For safe and efficient operation, the water heater should be serviced annually by your nearest Rheem

Service Department or their Accredited Service Agent. Only genuine replacement parts should be used on

this water heater.

Warning: Servicing of a gas water heater should only be carried out by authorised personnel.

FROST PROTECTION

The water heater has a frost protection system. The frost protection system will protect the water heater from

damage, by preventing ice forming in the waterways of the water heater, in the event of freezing conditions

occurring.

Notes:

The frost protection system will be rendered inoperable if electrical power is not available at the water

heater. Damage caused by freezing due to the unavailability of power at the water heater is not covered

by warranty (refer to “Warranty Exclusions” on page 75).

If it is necessary to switch the power off to the water heater and there is a risk of freezing, then it is

necessary to drain the water heater (refer to “Draining the Water Heater” on page 8).

Pipe work to and from the water heater must be adequately insulated to prevent freezing.

The water heater is not suitable for installation in areas where the ambient temperature falls below -20ºC

(including wind chill factor).

Refer to “Warranty Exclusions” on page 75.

DRAINING THE WATER HEATER

Turn off the water heater (refer to “Turn Off The Water Heater” on page 7).

Open a hot tap (preferably the shower outlet).

Unscrew the two drain plugs, one each at the cold water inlet and hot water outlet, on the underside of

the water heater.

Water will drain from the water heater.

When water stops flowing from the water heater, close the hot tap.

Note: It is recommended not to screw the drain plugs back in, until the water heater is to be turned on again.
