MODEL TYPE 
Congratulations for choosing a Rheem

®

 Heavy Duty Gas water heater. The 

model you have chosen is a quick recovery 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. 

 
If this water heater is installed as an 
in-series booster water heater as part of a 
commercial solar water heating system, 
then Rheem recommends the thermostat 
is set at 60

°C to maximise solar 

contribution. 
 
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 bathing 
and public areas 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 an indoor 
model and behind the access cover on the 
lower front on an outdoor model. A setting of 
‘6’ will normally maintain the water 
temperature at about 60

°C. Each number 

represents a temperature difference of 
approximately 6

°C.
