Introduction The EcoSable water heater stores and heats water for sanitary purposes. Cold water enters the bottom of the tank through the water inlet (1). The heated water leaves the tank at the top through the hot water outlet (2). To operate the water heater, the display (3) and control switch (4) are used.
Safety Lochinvar cannot be held responsible for damages or injuries which can be lead back to: • Failure to follow the instructions provided in this manual. • Carelessness during use or maintenance of the water heater. Every user must study the user part of this manual and must follow the instructions in this part of the manual strictly.
Interface Operator interface The operator interface consists of: • a control switch (see 3.1.1) on the front side of the water heater, between the doors. • a (touchscreen) display (see 3.1.2) to navigate through the menu and on which settings, functions, values and errors can be viewed and entered. The display is completely menu-driven and enables the user to change settings and to verify the status and history of the water heater.

Introduction About the water heater The EcoSable water heater is intended for heating water for sanitary purposes. The EcoSable is a condensing gas–fired storage water heater with a fan in the air intake. The flue gasses transfer their heat to the water through an efficient heat exchanger. The water heater has a concentric venting connector and can function as an open or as a room-sealed water heater.

Fig. EcoSable water heater 1. Water inlet 2. Heat exchanger 3. Water outlet When the temperature is too low, the water heater starts a operating cycle: The controller detects a "heat demand". The fan starts pre-purging. The air proving switch closes when the air pressure differential is sufficient. The spark plug is activated.
Safety Safety instructions For safety instructions on the use of the water heater, refer to Safety (see 2) in the User part of this manual. Warning Installation, maintenance and service must be carried out by a qualified engineer in compliance with the general and local regulations imposed by the gas, water and power supply companies and the fire brigade.
Caution To prevent that you damage the components of the water heater, make sure that it is completely stopped operation before you isolate the water heater from the mains (see 4.2.2). Wait 1 minute after you switch the water heater to OFF mode. Note Any leakage from the tank and/or connections can cause damage to the immediate environment or floors below the level of the boiler room.
Safety devices Fig. Safety devices 1. Temperature sensor 2. Air proving switch 3. Gas control valve 4. Flame probe Safety devices of the water heater: Temperature The water heater controls the water temperature sensor (1) using a temperature sensor: T > 90 ºC (blocking error), max. temperature.
