SAVE A SERVICE CALL
Check the items below before making a service call. You will be charged for
attending to any condition or fault that is not related to manufacture or failure of
a part.
NOT ENOUGH HOT WATER (OR NO HOT WATER)
Are you using more hot water than you think?
Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water than you think?
Very often it is not realised the amount
of hot water used, particularly when
showering. Carefully review the family‟s
hot water usage.
Have your plumber fit a flow control
valve to each shower outlet to reduce
water usage.
Pilot flame alight?
Check the pilot flame is burning by
removing the access cover. Relight the
pilot flame according to the lighting
instructions.
Refer to “Lighting the Water Heater” on page 40.
Temperature pressure relief valve running
Is the relief valve discharging too much water?
Refer to “Temperature Pressure Relief Valve Running” on page 20.
Thermostat setting
Ensure the thermostat setting is appropriate. You may choose to adjust the
thermostat upwards to gain additional hot water capacity.
Refer to “Gas Control Temperature Dial” on page 7.
Warning: Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.
Water heater size
Do you have the correct size water heater for your requirements?
The sizing guide in the Rheem sales literature and on the Rheem website
(www.rheem.com.au) suggests average sizes that may be needed.
