This manual describes how to install, service and use the BFC water heater.
The BFC water heater is a condensing water heater with a fan in the air intake.
The BFC can be installed as either an open or room-sealed water heater. A
concentric chimney connector is fitted standard to the water heater.
Alternatively, the water heater can be connected using a parallel system.
The possible installation types are B23, C13, C33, C43, C53 and C63.
The information in this manual applies to types: BFC 28, BFC 30, BFC 50,

The water heater has been manufactured and equipped in accordance with the
European standard for gas-fired storage water heaters for the production of
domestic hot water (EN 89). The water heaters are therefore compliant with the
European Directive for Gas water heaters, and and are entitled to bear the CE
mark.
