KITCHEN CONTROLLER
The Kitchen controller (Rheem PN 299853) is to be installed in the kitchen or laundry
only. It allows a maximum temperature setting of 60°C. Choose a suitable location
for the Kitchen controller, away from heat, sunlight and water.
Wiring installation:
1. Penetrate the wall with a 30-35 mm hole at the controller location.
2. Install the Kitchen controller cable between the location of the controller and the
water heater.
3. Remove the base plate from the controller.
4. Draw the cable through the central hole in the base plate.
5. Fix the base plate to the wall using suitable screws and wall anchors. Ensure the
projections in the base plate are pointing upwards.
6. Connect the cable to the two terminals on the back of the controller (not polarity
sensitive). Ensure the connecting screws are seated tightly.
7. Place the controller over the base plate. Ensure the projections in the base plate
fit into the housings in the controller.
8. Fix the controller to the base plate at the bottom of the controller, using the screw
provided.
9. Proceed to “Connecting to the Water Heater” on page 25.
If it is necessary to have an exposed wiring installation, follow this procedure omitting
Steps 1 and 4, and make an opening in the thin section in the underside of the
controller to accommodate the cable (as shown in the diagram), prior to Step 6.
