ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
A RheemPlus water heater will not deliver temperatures exceeding 50
°C, in
accordance with AS 3498. There is no statutory requirement to fit a
temperature limiting device if this water heater is installed in other than an early
childhood centre, school, nursing home or a facility for young, aged, sick or
disabled people.
An Optima water heater features a user
adjustable thermostat, which allows you to
choose the most suitable temperature for
your hot water needs. To adjust the
temperature, push in the child resistant
knob and turn anticlockwise to decrease or
clockwise to increase the temperature
setting. The Optima has a minimum
temperature setting of 60
°C and a
maximum temperature setting of 75
°C.
A Rheemglas or RheemPlus water heater
features a tradesperson adjustable
thermostat. This requires a licensed
tradesperson to make any temperature
adjustments. The thermostat has a
maximum temperature setting of 70
°C and
a minimum temperature setting is 60
°C.
We advise you have your electrician adjust the thermostat to the lowest
temperature setting that meets your needs, especially if there are young
children or elderly people in your home. Refer to
A RheemPlus water heater is temperature limited to 50
°C at the hot water
outlet. Increasing the thermostat setting will not increase the outlet temperature
but will provide more hot water capacity.
