ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER 
 
HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY 
We recommend, and it may also be required by regulations, that an approved 
temperature limiting device, such as the Rheem Temp-Set, be fitted into the hot 
water piping to the bathroom and ensuite when this water heater is installed. This 
will keep the water temperature below 50
°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk 
of scald injury will be reduced and still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry. 
This temperature limiting device may be required by regulations. 
 
 
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT- OPTIMA 
To adjust the temperature, push in the child 
resistant knob and turn anti clockwise 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. 
 
 
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. 
 
Care should be taken not to touch the pipe work connecting the solar collectors and 
the solar storage tank. Under certain conditions, very high temperature hot water 
can be generated by the solar collectors and flow through the pipe work. 
 
 
TO TURN OFF THE WATER HEATER 
If you plan to be away from home for a few nights, we suggest you leave the water 
heater switched on. 
If it is necessary to turn off the water heater: 
· 
Close the cold water isolation valve at the inlet to the water heater. 
· 
Switch off the electrical supply at the isolating switch to the solar storage tank. 
· 
Switch off the electrical supply at the power outlet to the solar control unit 
(refer to note below). 
Note: If there is a risk of freezing conditions, the electrical supply to the solar 
control unit should not be switched off unless the solar collectors are drained, 
otherwise damage could result (refer to “Freeze Protection” on page 8).
