HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY
This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding.
We recommend and it may be required by regulations that an approved temperature limiting device be fitted
into the hot water piping to ablution, bathing and public areas when a Multipak water heater is installed. This
will keep the water temperature below the maximum permitted by AS/NZS 3500.4 to these areas.
The water heater uses 240 Volt AC electrical power for operation of the control systems and the combustion
fan. The removal of the front panel will expose 240 V wiring. It must only be removed by a qualified person.
The power lead from the water heater must be plugged into a weatherproof electrical outlet. Take care not to
touch the power plug with wet hands.
SAFETY
This water heater is supplied with temperature sensors, a FlameSafe
®
protection system and a pressure relief
valve. These devices must not be tampered with or removed. The water heater must not be operated unless
each of these devices is fitted and is in working order.
If the power supply cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard. The power supply cord and plug must be replaced with a genuine replacement part available from
Rheem. Phone Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.
Warning:
For continued safety of this water heater it must be installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the Owner’s Guide and Installation Instructions.
The Rheem warranty may not cover faults if relief valves or other safety devices are tampered with or
if the installation is not in accordance with these instructions.
