ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
14
FROST PROTECTION
The water heater has a frost protection system. The frost protection system will protect the water heater from
damage, by preventing ice forming in the waterways of the water heater, in the event of freezing conditions
occurring.
Notes:
•
The frost protection system will be rendered inoperable if electrical power is not available at the water
heater. Damage caused by freezing due to the unavailability of power at the water heater is not covered
by the Rheem warranty (refer to
“Terms of the Rheem Warranty” on page 6 ).
•
If it is necessary to switch the power off to the water heater and there is a risk of freezing, then it is
necessary to drain the water heater (refer to
“Draining the Water Heater” on page 14 ).
•
The water heater is not suitable for installation in areas where the ambient temperature falls below -20°C
(including wind chill factor).
•
Refer to “Terms of the Rheem Warranty” on page 6 .
DRAINING THE WATER HEATER
To drain the water heater:
•
Turn off the water heater (refer to “Turn Off The Water Heater” on page 12 ).
•
Open the pressure relief valve on the Commpak located on the hot manifold.
•
Unscrew the two drain plugs, one each at the cold water inlet and hot water outlet, on the underside of
continuous flow water heater.
Water will drain from the water heaters.
•
When water stops flowing from the water heaters, close the pressure relief valve.
Note: It is recommended not to screw the drain plugs back in, until the water heater is to be turned on again.
