    Warning3
    1 Warning
    For your safety 
    Do  not  store  or  use  gasoline  or  other  flammable, 
    combustible  or  corrosive  vapors  and  liquids  in  the
    vicinity of this or any other appliance.
    Warning:  Carefully  plan  where  you
    install  the  heater.  Correct  combustion 
    air  supply  and  flue  pipe  installation  are
    very important. If a gas appliance is not
    installed  correctly,  fatal  accidents  can
    result  such  as  carbon  monoxide
    poisoning or fire.
    Warning:  Exhaust gas must be vented
    to outside using approved vent material 
    See table 2, page 10 (For Canada use
    only  ULCS636  approved  material).
    Vent  and  combustion  air  connector
    piping  must  be  sealed  gas-tight  to
    prevent  possibility  of  flue  gas  spillage,
    carbon monoxide emissions and risk of
    fire,  resulting  in  severe  personal  injury
    or  death.  Approved  vent  terminators
    must  be  used  when  penetrating  to  the
    outside.
    Warning:  Place the heater in a location
    where water leaks will do NO DAMAGE 
    to adjacent areas or lower floors.
    Warning:  Field wiring connections and
    electrical  grounding  must  comply  with 
    local  codes,  or  in  the  absence  of  local
    codes,  with  the  latest  edition  of  the
    National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
    or  in  Canada,  all  electrical  wiring  must
    comply  with  the  local  codes  and  the
    Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
    Part 1.
    Warning:  Shock hazard: line voltage is
    present.  Before  servicing  the  water 
    heater, unplug power supply cord from
    outlet.  Failure  to  do  so  could  result  in
    severe personal injury or death.
    Warning:  The  heater  must  be
    disconnected  from  the  gas  supply 
    piping  system  during  any  pressure
    testing of that system at test pressures
    equal to or more than 0.5 psig.
    Warning:  The  appliance  should  be
    located in an area where leakage of the 
    heater  or  connections  will  not  result  in
    damage  to  the  area  adjacent  to  the
    appliance  or  to  lower  floors  of  the
    structure.  When  such  locations  cannot
    be  avoided,  it  is  recommended  that  a
    suitable  drain  pan,  adequately  drained,
    be  installed  under  the  appliance.  The
    pan  must  not  restrict  combustion  air
    flow.
    Warning:  The  maximum  inlet  gas
    pressure  must  not  exceed  the  value 
    specified  by  the  manufacturer  and  the
    minimum  value  listed  is for  the  purpose
    of input adjustment.
    Warning:  If a water heater is installed in
    a  closed  water  supply  system,  such  as 
    one  having  a  backflow  preventer  in  the
    cold  water  supply  line,  means  shall  be
    provided  to  control  thermal  expansion.
    Contact  the  water  supplier  or  local
    plumbing  inspector  on  how  to  control
    this situation.
    Warning:  Keeping appliance area clear 
    and free from combustible materials,  
    gasoline and other flammable vapors 
    and liquids.
    Warning:  Do not obstruct the flow of 
    combustion and ventilation air.
    Warning:  Precautions  must  be  taken
    prior  to  manually  operating  the  relief 
    valve  to  avoid  contact  with  hot  water
    coming  out  of  the  relief  valve  and  to
    prevent water damage.
    Caution:  Label  all  wires  prior  to
    disconnection  when  servicing  controls. 
    Wiring errors can result in improper and
    dangerous operation.
    Verify proper operation after servicing.

    2.4 General rules to follow for safe 
    operation
    B1.  You  must  follow  these  instructions  when  you
    install  your  heater.  In  the  United  States:  The 
    installation  must  conform  with  local  codes  or,  in  t he
    absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code
    ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
    In  Canada:  The  Installation  must  conform  with  CSA
    B149.(1,2)  INSTALLATION  CODES  and  /or  local
    installation codes.
    B 2. Carefully plan where you install the heater. Correc t
    combustion  air  supply  and  vent  pipe  installation  ar e
    very  important.  If  not  installed  correctly,  fatal
    accidents  can  occur,  such  as  carbon  monoxide
    poisoning or fire.
    B 3.  When  the  unit  is  installed  indoors  and  ROOM
    SEALED  (twin  pipe)  it  is  permitted  to  be  located  in
    bathrooms,  bedrooms  and  occupied  rooms  that  are
    normally  kept  closed.  See  chapter 3.3  (page  10).  If
    the  unit  will  be  installed  indoors  and  use  indoor
    combustion air, the place where you install the hea ter
    must  have  enough  ventilation.  The  National  Fuel
    Gas  Codes  do  not  allow  UNSEALED  gas  fired
    water  heater  installations  in  bathrooms,
    bedrooms  or  any  occupied  rooms  normally
    kept closed.  See chapter 3.4 (page 24).
    B 4.  You  must  correctly  vent  your  heater.  See
    chapter 3.3 (page 10) on VENTING.
    B 5. The appliance and its gas connection must be leak
    tested before placing the appliance in operation.
    The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
    piping  system  by  closing  its  individual  manual  gas
    shutoff  valve  (not  supplied  with  heater)  during  any
    pressure  testing  at  pressures  in  excess  of  ½  Psig
    (3.5 kPa).
    B 6.  Keep  water  heater  area  clear  and  free  from
    combustibles  and  flammable  liquids.  Do  not  locate
    the heater over any material which might burn.
    B 7.  Correct  gas  pressure  is  critical  for  the  proper
    operation of this heater. Gas piping must be sized  to
    provide the required pressure at the maximum output
    of the heater, while all the other gas appliances a re in
    operation.  Check  with  your  local  gas  supplier,  and
    see  the  section  on  connecting  the  gas  supply.  See
    chapter 3.8 (page 26).
    B 8. Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to
    shut  off,  turn  off  the  gas  supply  at  the  manual  gas
    shut  off  valve,  on  the  gas  line.  Note:  manual  gas
    shutoff valve is not supplied with the heater but m ust
    be field installed.
    B 9.  Do  not  use  this  appliance  if  any  part  has  been
    underwater.  Immediately  call  a  qualified  service
    technician  to  inspect  the  appliance  and  to  replace
    any  part  of  the  control  system  and  any  gas  control
    which has been underwater.
    B 10.   Failure  to  install  heater  correctly  may  lead  to
    unsafe operation and void the warranty.

    The  appliance  can  also  be  installed  with  separate  a ir
    intake and exhaust piping (see Fig. 11, Fig. 18 and  Fig.
    19, page 18).Warning:  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.
    i
    Common  installation  practice  is  to 
    first  determine  the  venting/
    combustion  air  point  of  termination,
    then design the piping layout back to
    the heater.
    Warning:  B Do  not  reduce  the  exhaust  or 
    combustion air vent pipe sizes.
    B Do  not  common  vent  with  any  other
    vented appliance or stove.
    B Do  not  use  Type-B  vent  as  the  actual
    exhaust vent system for the appliance.
    Warning:  Failure  to  vent  the  exhaust
    gases  to  the  outside  (see  Table  2  for 
    proper  material)  may  result  in
    dangerous  flue  gases  filling  the
    structure in which it is installed.
    Warning:  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
    manufacturers warranty.
    Warning:  Protect the exhaust and inlet 
    from leaves and debris by installing a  
    screen on the end of the terminator. 
    ¼ mesh minimum opening 
    recommended on screen.
