• 

The operation of the water heater must be thoroughly checked by the 
installer. 

• 

The burner flame must light smoothly and quickly from the pilot flame, and 
must go out quietly and completely. 

• 

The main burner flame must be stable, although slight lifting at the front 
edge of the burner is acceptable when the burner is cold. 

• 

The main burner flame should be blue, with a clearly defined inner cone - 
luminous yellow or "floating" flames are not acceptable, and must be 
corrected by opening the air shutter (refer to 

“Air Shutter”

 on page 26). 

• 

Check the test point pressure and compare with the rating label. The 
pressure regulator is not adjustable and if the test point pressure is not 
within 5% of the specified value, refer to Rheem or their Accredited Service 
Agent. 

• 

If unable to get the water heater working properly, contact the nearest 
Rheem Service Department or their Accredited Service Agent. 

• 

When satisfied everything is working properly instruct the user in the correct 
method of operation. 

 
AIR SHUTTER 
The air shutter is a hinged flap in the burner aeration tube. It may require 
adjustment on installation. 
 

• 

For a Propane and Butane model, the air shutter should be fully open. 

• 

For a Town and TLP model, the air shutter should be within 10 mm of the 
top of the burner aeration tube. 

• 

The shutter is held in place by a screw on the side of the burner aeration 
tube. 

 
Note: A Natural gas model does not have an air shutter.
