Installation instructions
4.1
Introduction
Please follow these instructions. Failure to follow
instructions may result in:
▶ Damage or injury.
▶ Improper operation.
▶ Loss of warranty.
DANGER:
▶ The water heater must be installed by a qualified installer in
accordance with these instructions. If improperly installed,
a hazardous condition such as explosion or carbon
monoxide poisoning could result. Bosch
Thermotechnology Corp. is not responsible for improperly
installed appliances.
Common installation practice is to first determine the
installation location, then design the piping layout.
4.2
Proper location for installing your heater
Carefully select the location of the water heater. For your safety
and for proper heater operation, you must not block or obstruct
combustion air to the heater.
Follow the guidelines below:
1. Locate the heater where gas and plumbing connections are
feasible and convenient.
2. The hot water lines should be kept short and insulated to
save energy. It is recommended to locate the water heater
as close as practical to the most frequently used hot water
fixtures.
3. In areas where outside temperatures is below 32 °F (0 °C)
water pipes should be properly insulated, to maintain water
temperature and prevent freezing.
4. In dusty areas, the appliance should be protected from
particles that may enter with combustion air to avoid
premature malfunction or failure of the heater.

NOTICE:
Risk of appliance freezing!
▶ The water in this water heater is cold and always remains
cold except for the times the burner is on. In the event of
power outage in conjunction with freezing temperatures,
the heater should be drained.
See chapter 7.2, page 35 "Winterizing" for draining
instructions.
WARNING:
▶ Flammable materials, gasoline, pressurized containers, or
any other items or articles that are potential fire hazards
must NOT be placed on or adjacent to the heater. The
appliance area must be kept free of all combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
WARNING:
Risk of blockage!
▶ Excess of solid particles (e.g. bugs, pollen) in the air intake
may clog the air filter and lead to premature failure of the
heater if not protected accordingly.
▶ Do not install the water heater in areas where chemicals like
hair sprays, spray detergents, chlorine, or similar
chemicals may accumulate.
4.3
Selecting heater location
▶ Choose an outside wall for the installation. Installation on a
wall protected by an overhang above is recommended.
▶ Install the water heater above anticipated snow level.
Minimum clearances
If the appliance is installed under an overhang, there must be a
36" clearance from the top of the appliance and the mounting
area must be open in front and on the sides of the appliance.
