ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
13
GOING ON HOLIDAYS
If you plan to be away from home for a few nights, we suggest you leave the water heater switched on.
If you plan to be away for a longer period, you can conserve energy by placing the water heater into Vacation
Mode at the Display Panel. The heat pump and electric heating unit are prevented from operating under
standard heating conditions. The electrical supply remains available to the water heater. Refer to “Vacation
Mode” on page 24.
It is not advised to switch off the water heater at the isolating switch if there is the risk of freeze conditions.
Refer to “To Turn Off The Water Heater” on page 12.

At the end of the service life of the heat pump water heater and prior to the water heater being disposed of, a
person qualified to work with refrigerants must recover the refrigerant from within the sealed system. The
refrigerant must not be vented to atmosphere. Phone Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent
to arrange for an inspection.
