MODEL TYPE 
Congratulations for choosing a Rheem

®

 water heater. The model you have 

chosen is suitable for indoor installation only. The model is either a 300 series 
Rheemglas

®

 or 620 series Heavy Duty water heater. 

 
HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE? 
The water heater features a user adjustable 
thermostat, which allows you to personally 
choose the most suitable temperature for 
your hot water needs. Refer to 

“Temperature Adjustment”

 on page 4. 

 
To meet the requirements of the National 
Plumbing Standard the temperature of the 
stored water must not be below 60

°C. 

 
HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK 
OF SCALD INJURY 
This water heater can deliver water at 
temperatures which can cause scalding. 
Check the water temperature before use, 
such as when entering a shower or filling a 
bath or basin, to ensure it is suitable for the 
application and will not cause scald injury. 
 
We recommend and it may also be required by regulations that an approved 
temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water pipe work 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. 
 
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 
The temperature adjusting dial is on the gas 
valve, located at the lower front of the water 
heater. A setting of ‘6’ for a Rheemglas 
model and ‘3’ for a Heavy Duty model 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 for a Rheemglas model or to 80°C 

for a Heavy Duty model, turn the gas control knob anticlockwise to a setting of 
‘7’. Refer to 

“Hotter Water Increases the Risk of Scald Injury”

 on page 4.
