WARNING
This water heater is not intended to be operated, adjusted or tampered with by
young children or infirm persons. Young children should be supervised to
ensure they do not interfere with the water heater.

The removal of the access cover(s) will expose 240 V wiring. They must only
be removed by an authorised or service person.

SAFETY

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
draught diverter or flue terminal.

Gases from some aerosol sprays,
stain removers and household
chemicals

become corrosive when

drawn into a flame. Do not use
aerosols and stain removers near
the water heater whilst it is working.

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
draught diverter or 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.


If the power supply cord or electrical conduit to the water heater is damaged, it
must be replaced by an authorised person in order to avoid a hazard. The
power supply cord and plug must be replaced with a genuine replacement part
available from Rheem. Phone your nearest Rheem Service Department or
Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.
