1.  Stop, read the 

 on page 48. 

2.  Turn the gas control knob fully clockwise to the “z” (off) position. 

3.  Wait five (5) minutes so any build up of unburnt gas can escape. If you 

then smell gas, stop and follow “C” in the safety information. If you do not 
smell gas, proceed to step 4. 

4.  Turn the knob to the “·” (pilot) position. 

5.  Depress the knob fully (until star disappears below housing) and after 

30 seconds, whilst keeping the knob depressed, repeatedly press the 
igniter button (for up to 40 seconds) until the pilot flame ignites. 

 Warning: Keep your face clear of the combustion chamber opening 

while pressing the igniter. 

Note: It is not possible to depress the knob fully if the gas control has 
activated its safety shut-off feature. In this case, wait 60 seconds for the 
gas control to reset. 

6.  Keep the knob depressed for 20 seconds after the pilot flame lights. The 

pilot can be checked by looking through the large opening below the gas 
control. 

7.  Release the knob and check the pilot is still alight. 

8.  If the pilot has failed to light or has not remained alight, turn the gas control 

knob to the "z” (off) position. Wait five (5) minutes for any unburnt gas to 
escape and then begin again at step 3. 

 Warning: Failure to wait five (5) minutes may result in a fire or 

explosion. 

9.  When the pilot flame remains alight with the gas control knob released, 

turn the knob counter-clockwise to the setting of "6". This will give a water 
temperature of about 60°C. 

Rheem recommends the thermostat is set at 60

°C to maximise solar 

contribution. 

10.  Refer to “Temperature Adjustment” on page 5, if further adjustment is 

required. 

11.  Replace the access cover.
