HOT SENSOR LEAD
House the hot sensor lead at the water heater in the flexible conduit provided
and secure the conduit in the cut out on the tab located behind the upper front
cover. Connect the hot sensor cable to the hot sensor cable connector located
on the tab behind the upper front cover. Secure the hot sensor lead to the
water heater jacket to prevent possible damage.
THERMOSTAT SETTING
The thermostat is adjustable from 60
°C to 70°C. The thermostat is adjusted by
turning the adjuster anticlockwise to decrease the temperature setting and
clockwise to increase the temperature setting. Only adjust the temperature
setting when the isolating switch is switched off at the switchboard.
For reasons of safety and economy, we advise the thermostat be set at the
lowest temperature that will provide sufficient hot water during periods when
boosting is required. Rheem recommends the thermostat is set at 60
°C to
maximise solar contribution. Discuss the thermostat setting requirements with
the householder.
AUXILIARY PUMP
The auxiliary pump, if installed, must be wired to the control board. Refer to
