Instruccions de funcionament

Your Rheem water heater features water flow ignition, providing instant hot water without a pilot light.

1. Automatic Ignition

The water heater automatically ignites when water flow is detected upon opening a hot water tap or shower. It turns off when the water flow stops.

2. Temperature and Flow Control

The unit is equipped with a modern digital touch screen display and control knobs for adjusting temperature and water flow.

• Control de temperatura: Adjusts the amount of gas passing through the unit. Higher gas flow results in higher water temperature.
• Water Flow Knob: Controls the water flow rate. Higher flow distributes heat better, allowing for a wider temperature range.

3. Optimal Settings

The water heater offers two optimal positions for different seasons:

• Mode d'hivern: Set water flow to minimum and temperature to maximum. This restricts water passage, allowing it to absorb more heat from the flame.
• Mode d'estiu: Set water flow to maximum and temperature to minimum. In this mode, water passes at maximum capacity, as summer temperatures are optimal for comfort.

The comfort temperature is typically around 36°C (body temperature), but optimal settings may vary based on personal preference and local conditions. Recommended temperature range is 40°C to 55°C.

Manteniment

Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el rendiment òptim del vostre escalfador d'aigua.

• It is recommended to have the water heater inspected and serviced by a qualified technician annually to check for wear and tear, clean internal components, and ensure safe operation.
• Check water and gas connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion.

Resolució de problemes

Aquests són alguns problemes comuns i les seves solucions:

• Sense aigua calenta: Check if the gas supply is open and if the water flow is sufficient to trigger ignition. Ensure batteries are correctly installed and charged.
• Error EE (Overheating): This error indicates overheating. To resolve, set the water flow knob to maximum and the temperature knob to minimum. This can also occur due to incorrect knob placement.
• Baixa pressió d'aigua: Ensure adequate water pressure from your main supply. The Rheem Aqua Balance technology is designed to adapt to varying water pressures, but extremely low pressure may affect performance.
• Temperatura inconsistent: Adjust the temperature and water flow knobs to find your desired stable temperature. The modulating feature helps maintain consistent temperature even with pressure variations.
