Risk of scalding at the hot water draw-off point

▶ When the water heater is in operation, temperatures in excess of
122 °F (50 °C) can occur. To limit the temperature at the tap, install
a thermostatic DHW mixing valve.
▶ Water heated for washing the laundry, dishes and for other cleaning
purposes can cause scalding and permanent injuries.
▶ Children, elderly, and handicapped persons are more likely to be
permanently injured by hot water. Never leave such individuals in the
tub or shower unattended under any circumstances. Children must
not be allowed to operate hot water faucets themselves or to fill a
bathtub.
▶ If the building has occupants in the above groups who operate hot
water faucets, or state laws / local ordinances stipulate specific
water temperatures, take the following precautions:
– Use the lowest possible temperature setting.
– To prevent scalding, install a tempering device, such as an
automatic mixing valve, at hot water tap or water heater. Select
and install the automatic mixing valve in accordance with the
valve manufacturer's recommendations and instructions.
▶ Water exiting from drain valves can be extremely hot. To avoid
injuries:
– Check that all connections are tight.
– Direct exiting water away from people.
▶ Measures must be taken to protect against excessive temperature
and pressure! Installation of a T&P safety valve is required.
To protect against corrosion and ensure compliance with the rules for
electrical safety, observe the following points:
▶ Use metal fittings for potable water heating systems with plastic
piping.
▶ Use only original accessories from the manufacturer.
▶ When installation of the water heater is complete, inspect the ground
conductor (including metal fittings).
Maintenance
Customers are advised to:
▶ Sign a maintenance and inspection contract with an authorized
contractor. Inspect and maintain the water heater as necessary and
on a yearly basis. Service as needed.
▶ Use only genuine spare parts.
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.

4.1 Specialized tools
The following specialized tools may be required for installation:
• Manometer
• Multi-meter
• Combustion Gas Analyzer

4.2 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

venting/combustion air point of termination, then
design the piping layout back to the heater.

4.3 Venting
For servicing access, a 2ft clearance is recommended to
the front cover. NOTICE:
▶ Do not reduce the exhaust or combustion air vent
pipe sizes.
▶ Do not common vent with any other vented appliance

WARNING:
▶ Do not mix vent pipe or joining methods from
different manufacturers.

WARNING:
▶ Approved terminators must be used for inlet and
exhaust vent systems to prevent rain from entering
the appliance. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the appliance. This failure is not covered under the
manufacturer’s warranty.

CAUTION:
▶ The vent system must be installed by a qualified
installer in accordance with these instructions. If
improperly installed, a hazardous condition such as

NOTICE:
▶ In areas where outside temperatures routinely come
close to freezing, sealed combustion operation is
required. Concentric termination or separate
terminations for combustion and vent, must be
installed on the same wall or roof surface; however,
never facing the direction of prevailing winds. Failure
to do so may result in heat exchanger freezing and
bursting. This failure is not covered under the
manufacturer's warranty.

combustion appliances in the building not being supplied with sufficient
combustion air. A wood stove or furnace can pull its combustion air from
the water heater‘s vent pipe, allowing the cold incoming air to freeze the
cold water in the heat exchanger. Supplying more combustion air for all
combustion appliances is the solution. A HVAC specialist should be
consulted to design solutions for providing more combustion air.

Troubleshooting | 43

8.6 Hot water temperature fluctuates at tap

1. Hot water is very hot out of the water heater, requiring mixing in cold
water in order to attain a usable hot water temperature. The addition
of too much cold will overpower hot water flow from the tankless
water heater.
If this slows the flow through the tankless water heater below its
activation point, it will shut off the burners. The end result is nothing
but cold water coming out of the outlet. Consult www.bosch-
climate.us for a detailed service bulletin on overcoming temperature
fluctuations.
2. Unbalanced pressure in water lines. Any restriction in the water
heater, such as a clogged inlet filter screen, can result in unequal
pressures between the cold and hot water lines. In such cases, when
mixing in the higher pressure cold water at the tap, the lower
pressure hot water can be overpowered. This will shut down the
burners because the hot water flow rate fell below the minimum flow
rate required for activation. Verify inlet filter screen is clean and clear
of debris. See chapter7.1, page 37 for inlet filter cleaning
instructions.
3. Heater deactivated by temperature balancing valves. If the outlet
water temperature is set too high, the heater can produce
temperatures that are too hot. A temperature balance shower valve
will automatically mix in cold water to reduce the hot water
temperature. In the event of any temperature instability at a fixture
using a temperature balancing valve, refer to the valve manufacturer
for instructions on internal adjustment setting. An adjustment should
be made to minimize the amount of cold water the valve is adding.
Additionally, the temperature setting on the heater can be lowered to
prevent the temperature balance valve from mixing in too much cold.
4. Inlet water pressure is erratic due to fluctuating supply water
pressure. For installation on a private well system with the use of a
pressure tank, the lowest pressure range setting recommended is 40
- 60 psi (2.75 - 4.15 bar). Consult your installer or local plumber for
effective ways to maintain constant water pressure to the appliance
when on a well system.

8.7 Noisy burner/heater during operation

1. Sealed combustion leak. Make sure combustion cover is securely
fastened. Ensure the exhaust vent adaptor is properly sealed with
supplied gasket. Leaky seals create improper combustion resulting
in noise.
2. Improper venting. Venting that is unsealed, the wrong material, too
big in diameter or too long in run will result in unstable burner flames
and noise. Ensure venting is in accordance with specifications in
chapter4.3, page 11.
3. Lack of adequate combustion air. Drawing combustion air from a
room area of inadequate size will result in unstable burner flames and
noise. Improper piping of combustion air to the outside or
insufficient space will result in unstable burner flames and noise.
Ensure adequate combustion air is provided from the unit in
accordance with specifications in Section4.4, page 24 Combustion
Air Requirements.
4. Cross contamination. Ensure that intake and exhaust terminations
maintain required clearances as stated in chapter 4.3, page 11.
Cross contamination between intake and exhaust may cause
unstable burner flames and noise.
5. Lack of gas pressure. Inadequate gas pressure will cause the fuel-to-
air mixture (CO2) to be out of adjustment. This will result in unstable
burner flames and noise. Ensure gas pressure is in accordance with
specifications in Section4.14, page 32 Measuring Gas Pressure. A
gas pressure reading is needed to proceed further. Contact your
original installer or a local certified gas technician to obtain this
reading.
6. Verify proper CO2 readings per chapter7.4, page 38. CO2
adjustments must be done by a certified gas technician with a
calibrated combustion gas analyzer.
