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 4.
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.
