ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for the purpose of heating potable water. Its use in an application other than this may shorten its life.
MODEL TYPE
The Rheem® continuous flow gas water heater model you have chosen is for outdoor installation only.
The water heater has a maximum preset outlet temperature setting of:
|
874 series |
75°C |
|
876 series |
50°C |
Note: The 876 series water heater is marked “THIS APPLIANCE
DELIVERS WATER NOT EXCEEDING 50°C IN ACCORDANCE WITH
AS 3498” on the front panel.
This model must not be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater, as water temperature greater than 50°C can be delivered from the water heater contravening its compliance to AS 3498.
MAINS PRESSURE
The water heater is designed for direct connection to the mains water supply. If the mains supply pressure in your area exceeds that shown on page 48, a pressure limiting valve must be fitted. The supply pressure should be greater than 120 kPa for the rated flow and performance to be achieved.
WATER HEATER OPERATION
The water heater operates automatically, heating water as it passes through the water heater. When a hot tap is opened, the gas burners ignite to provide immediate heating of the water. The heat produced by the burner is transferred to the water through the heat exchanger. The water is heated to a constant temperature by the automatic adjustment of the gas supply to the burner to suit the water flow rate (refer to “Temperature Control” on pages 11 to 40). The gas burners extinguish when the hot tap is closed.
Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater to provide safe and efficient operation.
REDUCED HOT WATER FLOW WHEN HEAT EXCHANGER IS COLD
At a cold start-up, i.e. when the water heater has not operated for some time (which is most often first thing in the morning), the initial flow of hot water may be reduced for a period of 5-10 seconds while the heat exchanger warms up. This is both an energy and water saving feature of this water heater. Once the heat exchanger has warmed up the hot water flow will increase and remain at normal flow levels. This feature will only occur at a cold start-up and not when the heat exchanger is already warm from a recent use of hot water.
GAS BOOSTING FOR A SOLAR WATER HEATER
The 874 series water heater may be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater.
Water stored in the solar storage tank passes through the in-series gas booster when a hot tap is opened. The in-series gas booster is for heating water at times of low solar energy gain, such as during cloudy or rainy weather, or during colder months.
The in-series gas booster operates automatically. When the solar heated water temperature is below 58°C, the in-series gas booster heats the water to its preset outlet temperature setting.
Solar heated water can reach temperatures up to 70°C to 80°C for a Premier Loline and Loline pumped system and possibly higher for a Hiline and Premier Hiline thermosiphon system. When the solar heated water temperature is 58°C or higher, the flow passes through the in-series gas booster without boosting.
For information relating to the function and operation of the solar water heater, refer to the Owner’s Guide and
Installation Instructions supplied with the solar water heater.

Note: Australian Standard AS 3498 and New Zealand Building Code Clause G12 requires that a water heater provides the means to inhibit the growth of Legionella bacteria in potable water. When this water heater is used as an in-series booster for a solar water heater it can satisfy these AS 3498 and Clause G12 requirements provided it is energised, the booster preset outlet temperature setting is 70°C, and that a remote temperature controller is not used.
Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (874 series) if it is installed as an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar water heater is installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and removed.
If this water heater is installed as part of a solar water heater system, the system can deliver water at temperatures from 58°C up to 80°C and possibly higher depending upon the model of solar water heater installed.

ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY
This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding. Check the water temperature before use, such as when entering a shower or filling a bath or basin, to ensure it is suitable for the application and will not cause scald injury.
We recommend and it may be required by regulations that an approved temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water piping to the bathroom and ensuite when an 874 series water heater is installed. This will keep the water temperature below 50°C – AU or 55°C – NZ at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of scald injury will be reduced and if no controllers are installed and the preset outlet temperature setting has not been adjusted below 55°C or if a Kitchen controller is installed, still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry.
An 876 series water heater will not deliver temperatures exceeding 50°C, in accordance with AS 3498. There is no need to fit a temperature limiting device to satisfy the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4, if an 876 series water heater is installed in an application where 50°C is the maximum permissible hot water temperature at the outlet of a sanitary fixture used primarily for personal hygiene purposes.
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 / Centre to arrange for an inspection.
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.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
CONTROLLERS
The Rheem 874 and 876 series can be installed with Rheem controllers to enable the user to control the temperature of the delivered water from the outlet of the water heater. There are two families of Rheem controllers suitable for installation with this water heater. These are the standard controllers and the Deluxe controllers.
Standard Controllers
There are three types of standard controller. They are the Kitchen controller (Rheem AU - Part 299850, NZ - Part A299850), Bathroom 1 controller (Rheem AU - Part 299851, NZ - Part A299851) and the Bathroom 2 controller (Rheem AU - Part 299852, NZ - Part A299852). These part numbers include the controller cable supplied with the controller.
The standard controllers are identified by a ‘K’ (Kitchen controller), ‘B1’ (Bathroom 1 controller) or ‘B2’
(Bathroom 2 controller) located on the front bottom left hand corner of the standard controller.
Deluxe Controllers
There are three types of Deluxe controller. They are the Kitchen Deluxe controller (Rheem AU - Part 299858, NZ - Part A299861), Bathroom 1 Deluxe controller (Rheem AU - Part 299859, NZ - Part A299862) and the Bathroom 2 Deluxe controller (Rheem AU - Part 299860, NZ - Part A299863). These part numbers include the controller cable supplied with the controller.
The Deluxe controllers are identified by a ‘K’ (Kitchen Deluxe controller), ‘B1’ (Bathroom 1 Deluxe controller) or ‘B2’ (Bathroom 2 Deluxe controller), located under the front panel, to the bottom left hand corner adjacent to the BATH FILL VOLUME label.
The Deluxe controllers offer additional functions to the standard controllers. These are:
An assistance call function, which provides a voice prompt when pressed and will sound on all controllers. This is useful should a family member require assistance when in the bathroom.
A Bath Fill function, which is designed to allow the water heater to deliver a selected volume of water at a selected temperature.
Bath filling takes place when the hot tap is opened. When the set volume has been delivered, the water flow from the water heater ceases. Refer to “Bath-Fill Function” on page 32.
Note: The bath level should be monitored periodically while this function is in use to avoid the possibility of the bath overflowing. The Bath Fill function should also be used with caution until you are familiar with its operation.
Warning: Baths should not be left unattended whenever young children are present.
Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (874 series) if it is installed as an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar water heater is installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and removed.
Notes:
Where more than one controller is installed, the second or third controller must be of the same family.
A standard controller can only be installed with another standard controller(s) and a Deluxe controller can only be installed with another Deluxe controller(s). A standard controller(s) and a Deluxe controller(s) cannot be connected to the same water heater.
One, two or three controllers can be installed. Only one of each type of controller can be connected to the water heater. Therefore, a maximum of three controllers only can be connected to each water heater.
A Bathroom 2 controller can only be installed if a Bathroom 1 controller is installed and a Bathroom 2 Deluxe controller can only be installed if a Bathroom 1 Deluxe controller is installed.
Other manufacturers’ controllers are not suitable to and cannot be installed with this water heater.

Refer to “How Hot Should The Water Be?” on page 5.
On a building fitted with a temperature limiting device such as a tempering valve and where an 874 series water heater is installed without a separate untempered hot water line to the kitchen, laundry or other nonablution area, although the Kitchen controller will be able to display temperatures above 50°C and the water leaving the water heater will be at the set temperature, the maximum water temperature which can be delivered to the hot water outlets in these locations is determined by the temperature setting of the temperature limiting device. This is usually 50°C.
On a building fitted with a temperature limiting device set to 50°C, to enable the delivery of water temperatures above 50°C to the kitchen, laundry or other non-ablution area, separate untempered pipe work must be installed from the water heater to the hot water outlets in these locations.

If the hot tap is closed before the set water volume flows through the water heater and the water volume
(
) button is left on, then the alarm will sound when the remaining water volume is consumed during a later operation. To prevent the alarm from sounding, press the water volume ( 
) button twice to turn it off.

The installation of a Bathroom Deluxe controller(s) only (i.e. no Kitchen Deluxe controller) limits the temperature setting of the water heater to a maximum of:
|
874 series |
50°C |
|
876 series |
50°C |
regardless of the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater.
The installation of a Kitchen Deluxe controller will allow a maximum temperature setting of:
|
874 series |
60°C – AU |
55°C – NZ |
|
876 series |
50°C |
|
regardless of the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater.
If there is no controller installed, the water heater defaults to the preset outlet temperature setting. This may be up to:
|
874 series |
75°C |
|
876 series |
50°C |
Refer to “How Hot Should The Water Be?” on page 5.
On a building fitted with a temperature limiting device such as a tempering valve and where an 874 series water heater is installed without a separate untempered hot water line to the kitchen, laundry or other nonablution area, although the Kitchen Deluxe controller will be able to display temperatures above 50°C and the water leaving the water heater will be at the set temperature, the maximum water temperature which can be delivered to the hot water outlets in these locations is determined by the temperature setting of the temperature limiting device. This is usually 50°C.
On a building fitted with a temperature limiting device set to 50°C, to enable the delivery of water temperatures above 50°C to the kitchen, laundry or other non-ablution area, separate untempered pipe work must be installed from the water heater to the hot water outlets in these locations.

Each press of the up () button will increase the temperature setting by one increment.
Pressing and holding the up () button will scroll the temperature setting up to a maximum 43°C if there is hot water flowing or 45°C if there is no hot water flowing.
From the 45°C setting, the up () button must be pressed once for each increase in temperature increment.
The temperature setting cannot be increased above 43°C whilst hot water is flowing.
Each press of the down () button will decrease the temperature setting by one temperature increment.
Pressing and holding the down () button will scroll down the temperature setting.
The temperature setting can be decreased from any temperature setting whether the hot water is flowing or not.
Note: A Deluxe controller sounds a double beep at the 42°C temperature setting, if the voice prompt is not speaking, when either the up () button or down () button has been pressed. The double beep does not sound at the 42°C temperature setting when the BATH FILL TEMPERATURE up () button or BATH FILL TEMPERATURE down () button is pressed.
