COMMISSIONING

TO FILL AND TURN ON THE WATER HEATER

The gas pilot or burner must not be lit until the water heater is filled with

water.

Open all of the hot water taps in the house (don‟t forget the shower).

Open the cold water isolation valve fully to the water heater.

Air will be forced out of the taps.

Close each tap as water flows freely from it.

Check the pipe work for leaks.

Open the gas isolation valve fully.

Check the gas pipe work for leaks.

Light the water heater (refer to “Lighting the Water Heater” on page 37).

Note: A gas control knob setting of „7” should be used for a RheemPlus

model to assist in the specified operation of the temperature limiting valve.

If it is necessary to adjust the outlet temperature of a RheemPlus model, refer

to “Outlet Temperature Compensation Adjustment – RheemPlus” on page 35.

Warning: Upon completion of the installation and commissioning of the

water heater, leave this guide with the householder or a responsible officer.

DO NOT leave this guide inside of the cover of the water heater, as it may

interfere with the safe operation of the water heater or ignite when the water

heater is turned on.

Explain to the householder or a responsible officer the functions and operation

of the water heater.

GAS INLET PRESSURE

IMPORTANT – CHECK the gas supply pressure at the inlet to the water heater

with the water heater and all other gas burning appliances in the premises

operating (burners alight). The minimum gas supply pressure is:

Natural Gas 1.13 kPa Propane 2.75 kPa

Town / TLP 0.75 kPa Butane 2.75 kPa

If this minimum cannot be achieved, it may indicate the meter or the gas line to

the water heater is undersized. It is important to ensure that an adequate gas

supply pressure is available to the water heater when other gas burning

appliances, on the same gas supply, are operating.
