Bosch 520-HN -L Manual page 5

Flooding
▶ After a flood, do not use the appliance if any part has been
submerged. Damage to appliances that have been
submerged can be quite severe and pose numerous safety
risks.
▶ Every appliance that has been submerged must be
replaced.
For your safety
▶ Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable,
combustible or corrosive vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
DANGER: Fatal accidents!
Carbon monoxide poisoning.
▶ Carefully plan where you install the
heater. Correct combustion air supply
and flue pipe installation are very
important. If a gas appliance is not
installed correctly, fatal accidents can
result such as carbon monoxide
poisoning or fire.
DANGER:
Carbon monoxide poisoning.
▶ Exhaust gas must be vented to outside
using approved vent material. See
table 5, page 16(In Canada use only
ULCS636 approved material). Vent and
combustion air connector piping must
be sealed gas-tight to prevent flue gas
spillage, carbon monoxide emissions
and risk of fire, resulting in severe
personal injury or death. Approved vent
terminations must be used when
penetrating to the outside.
DANGER: Electric shock!
▶ Field wiring connections and electrical
grounding must comply with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the latest edition of the National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in
Canada, all electrical wiring must
comply with the local codes and the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1

DANGER: Electric shock!
Shock hazard: line voltage is present.
▶ Before servicing the water heater,
unplug power supply cord from outlet.
Failure to do so could result in severe
personal injury or death.
WARNING: Damage to the appliance from
over pressure.
▶ The heater must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures equal to or more than
0.5 psi.
NOTICE:
▶ The appliance should be located in an
area where leakage of the heater or
connections will not result in damage to
the area adjacent to the appliance or to
lower floors of the structure. When such
locations cannot be avoided, it is
recommended that a suitable drain pan,
adequately drained, be installed under
the appliance. The pan must not restrict
combustion air flow.
WARNING:
▶ The maximum inlet gas pressure must
not exceed the value specified by the
manufacturer and the minimum value
listed is for the purpose of input
adjustment.
NOTICE:
▶ If a water heater is installed in a closed
water supply system, such as one
having a backflow preventer in the cold
water supply line, means shall be
provided to control thermal expansion.
Contact the water supplier or local
plumbing inspector on how to control
this situation.
