Warranty

Rheem Solar Water Heater Warranty (Australia only)

Warranty conditions

1. This warranty is applicable only to water heaters

manufactured from 1

September 2006.

2. The water heater must be installed in accordance with the

Rheem water heater installation instructions, supplied with

the water heater, and in accordance with all relevant

statutory and local requirements of the State in which the

water heater is installed.

3. Where a failed component or water heater is replaced under

warranty, the balance of the original warranty period will

remain effective. The replaced part or water heater does not

carry a new warranty.

4. Where the water heater is installed outside the boundaries of

a metropolitan area as defined by Rheem or further than

25 km from a regional Rheem branch office, or an

Accredited Service Agent, the cost of transport, insurance

and travelling costs between the nearest Rheem Accredited

Service Agent’s premises and the installed site shall be the

owner’s responsibility.

5. Where the water heater is installed in a position that does

not allow safe, ready access, the cost of accessing the site

safely, including the cost of additional materials handling

and / or safety equipment, shall be the owner’s

responsibility.

6. The warranty only applies to the water heater and original or

genuine (company) component replacement parts and

therefore does not cover any plumbing or electrical parts

supplied by the installer and not an integral part of the water

heater, e.g. pressure limiting valve; isolation valves; non-

return valves; electrical switches; pumps or fuse.

7. The water heater must be sized to supply the hot water

demand in accordance with the guidelines in the Rheem

water heater literature.
