This water heater is not intended to be operated by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities i.e. the infirm, or by children. Children

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard. The power supply cord must be replaced with a genuine
replacement part available from Rheem. Phone Rheem Service or the nearest
authorised Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.

This water heater is supplied with a thermostat, an over-temperature cut-out 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.
The Rheem warranty may not cover faults if the pressure relief valve or
other safety devices are tampered with or if the installation is not in
accordance with these instructions.
The operation of the over-temperature cut-out indicates a possibly dangerous
situation. If the over-temperature cut-out operates, it must not be reset and the
water heater must be serviced by a qualified person.
An isolation switch(s) must be installed in the electrical circuit to the water heater
in accordance with the local electrical standards, so the water heater can be
switched off.
A pressure relief valve is supplied with the water heater and must always be
installed.
