Summary of Contents for Bradford White POWERED DIRECT VENT SERIES GAS-FIRED COMMERCIAL WATER HEATER

  • Page 1 POWERED DIRECT VENT SERIES GAS-FIRED COMMERCIAL WATER HEATER (INDEPENDENT PVC VENTING) WARNING: If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
  • Page 2: Table Of Contents

    SECTION I: IMPORTANT INFORMATION READ CAREFULLY This gas-fired water heater is design certified by CSA International under the American National Standard, Z21.10.3 and CAN/CGA 4.3-M (as indicated on the rating plate). These standards are available from CSA Standards Association, 5060 Spectrum Way Mississauga, Ontario L4W 5N6 CANADA. This water heater must be installed in accordance with local codes.
  • Page 3 DANGER DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible, or corrosive vapors and/or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. This water heater is equipped with an adjustable thermostat to control water temperature. Hot water temperatures required for automatic dishwasher and laundry use can cause scald burns resulting in serious personal injury and/or death.
  • Page 4 WARNING This water heater needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Insufficient air supply will cause a recirculation of combustion products resulting in contamination that may be hazardous to life. This will result in carboning or sooting of the combustion chamber, burners, and flue tubes and creates a risk of asphyxiation.

  • Page 20: Water Connections

    SECTION VI: WATER CONNECTIONS NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE. After shutting off the main water supply, open a faucet to relieve the water line pressure to prevent any water from leaking out of the pipes while making the water connections to the water heater. After the pressure has been relieved, close the faucet.
  • Page 21 WARNING Keep clear of combination temperature and pressure relief valve discharge line outlet. The discharge may be hot enough to cause scald injury. The water is under pressure and may splash. For protection against excessive temperatures and pressure, install temperature and pressure protective equipment required by local codes, but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials as meeting the requirements of the Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot...

Should the ECO function (open), the water temperature should be reduced to approximately 120°F (49°C) and follow Lighting Instructions to place the water heater in operation.
  • Page 33: Maintenance

    SECTION X: MAINTENANCE Burner Flame Check At the time of installation and at periodic intervals (about every 3 months), a visual check of the pilot and burner flames should be made to determine if they are burning properly. No adjustment to the air shutter should be required for this heater.
  • Page 34 A qualified service technician should perform the following maintenance at the minimum periodic intervals suggested below. In some installations, the maintenance interval may be more frequent depending on the amount of use and the operating conditions of the water heater. Regular inspection and maintenance of the water heater will help to insure safe and reliable operation.
  • Page 35 To reinstall the burner rack, reverse the above procedure. Alternate method for removing the burner rack, when there is at least 20” (50.8 cm) clearance on the left front side: a) Shut off the gas and electrical supply to the water heater. b) Disconnect both pilot tube fittings at the combustion box bulkhead fitting.
