Справочник Пользователя для Rheem Electric Domestic Water Heater

 

 
Water is stored in a vitreous enamel lined steel cylinder and heated by the 
electric immersion heating unit. The thermostat controls the temperature. 
Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater to provide safe and 
efficient operation. 
 
MAINS PRESSURE 
The water heater is designed to operate at mains pressure by connecting 
directly to the mains water supply. If the mains supply pressure in your area 
exceeds that shown on page 16, a pressure limiting valve must be fitted. The 
supply pressure should be greater than 350 kPa for true mains pressure 
operation to be achieved. 
 
THERMOSTAT 
The thermostat automatically controls the electricity supply to the heating unit 
so a constant temperature is maintained. The thermostat and its protective over 
temperature cut out is mounted inside the front cover of the water heater. There 
is no need to switch the water heater off when it is not in use, except when you 
are on an extended holiday. The thermostat is fully automatic and power is only 
used when heating is required. 
 
SINGLE ELEMENT MODEL 
This type of water heater has one 
heating unit with its own thermostat. 
The heating unit is at the base of the 
water heater. 

 

• 

Continuous electricity supply 
This type of connection is suited to 
where the storage capacity is less 
than the normal daily usage. 

• 

Off-Peak electricity supply 
This type of connection will only 
allow heating to occur during set 
hours. A volume of water sufficient 
for the day’s total use is heated and 
stored. This type of heating will be 
more economical due to reduced 
tariffs by the electricity authority.
