SERVICE PROCEDURES
ONLY AN AUTHORISED PERSON MAY REPAIR OR SERVICE A GAS APPLIANCE
For peak performance it is suggested that the space heater be serviced by your nearest Rheem Service Department
or Accredited Service Agent annually or prior to every winter.
Only genuine replacement parts should be used on this heater and flue system.
Warning:
DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER IF THE FLUE SYSTEM IS NOT CONNECTED OR IF ANY PART
OF THE FLUE SYSTEM IS FAULTY OR DAMAGED. Operation of the heater without the flue system or with faulty or
damaged flue components may cause combustion products to be discharged into the room in which the heater is
located resulting in serious injury or death. If you smell strange odours, shut down the heater immediately and phone
your nearest Rheem Service department or Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.
ANNUAL SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Visually inspect heater for damage.
2.
Visually inspect power supply cord to ensure it is not cracked or damaged and is in good working order.
3.
Remove air filter on rear of heater and wash filter in luke warm water with a mild soap solution (refer to “Air Filter
Removal” on page 7).
4.
Remove and clean humidifier tray (refer to "Humidifier Tray Removal" on page 7).
5.
Check air intake and exhaust connections at rear of heater to ensure they are sound and firmly connected.

Check flue system; ensure all visible flue components are sound and that the flue system including the flue
terminal is not obstructed or blocked in any way.
7.
If a condensate trap is installed, check to ensure the condensate drain line is not blocked.

If the flue
system is a Vertical In-Wall system, the condensate drain tube from the condensate trap to the heater humidifier
tray must be formed in a 80 ~ 90 mm loop (90 mm max) that has been filled with water to trap flue gasses (refer
to 'In Wall' illustration on page 15). Check to ensure this loop is filled with water and that the loop is fixed in a
vertical position as depicted. Ensure tubing forming this loop is not kinked, has fall to heater humidifier tray and
does not prevent humidifier tray removal. Also ensure tube is not touching any exhaust components.
