Technical Characteristics and Dimensions | 5 Low Flow Rates This gas water heater is designed to operate at a minimum flow rate between 3.2 to 4.0 litres per minute. Sufficient flow must be provided to ensure the correct operation of the appliance. There are various causes of a low flow rate including, but not limited to: • Low flow tapware • Flow restrictors/aerators • Hand held showers • Poor inlet pressure to property • Restrictive pipework and/or fittings Water fixtures with a flow rate of 7.

Installation | 9 Minimum water supply pressure must meet the requirements set out in table 5. Water fixtures with a flow rate of 7.5 litres per min for hand basins and 9 litres per min for shower roses are recommended. To reduce the chance of corrosion, installation in a marine environment should be avoided. Premature corrosion due to the installation environment would not be covered by warranty. All gas appliances require adequate air intake to ensure correct combustion.
| Installation 4.2 • • • Requirements of the installation location Comply with the specific instructions for each State. Install the appliance in an outdoor location where it will not be exposed to temperatures below zero. Install the appliance in accordance with the minimum installation clearances indicated in Fig. 5, according to AS5601. I c • • The gas heater must not be installed over a heat source. Do not obstruct the openings at top, bottom and rear of appliance.

| Commissioning CAUTION: Never rest the gas heater on the water or gas connections. 4.4 the correct pressure to the appliance regulator. The gas pressures require setting upon installation. ▶ Open all water and gas isolation valves. ▶ Purge the pipes. Water connection Purge the water pipes before connection, because the presence of dirt may reduce the flow and, in extreme cases, cause a blockage. ▶ Identify the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe, so as to avoid any possible cross-connection.
Commissioning | 13 5.3 Inlet pressure adjustment DANGER: The following procedures must only be performed by a qualified technician. Gas pressure adjustment (commissioning) MUST be carried out upon installation. ▶ Check the gas indicated on the rating plate and front cover label is the same as the gas to which the heater is connected. ▶ Loosen the pressure test point screw on the left hand side of the gas valve (Fig. 10, [A]) and attach a manometer.
| Operating instructions ▶ Remove manometer and tighten test point screw. Fig. 12 A Fig. 10 For higher water temperature (Fig. 13).

Maintenance | 15 7 Maintenance To ensure ongoing performance and safety, we require the appliance be serviced every two years. DANGER: Failure to perform maintenance procedures can lead to appliance malfunction, errors, service calls and loss of manufacturers warranty. ▶ Your appliance should only be attended by a Bosch authorised service agent. ▶ Only use original replacement parts. Maintenance must only be performed by a qualified technician.
| Troubleshooting 8 Troubleshooting 8.1 Problem/cause/solution Assembly, maintenance, and repairs must be performed by qualified technicians only. The following chart offers possible solutions to problems. In most instances it is advisable to have a technician attend and inspect the appliance. Some further trouble shooting advice may be found at http://www.bosch-climate.com.au Problem Cause Solution Fluctuation in hot water temperature. Insufficient flow through the hot water unit.
Environmental protection | 17 Problem Cause Solution Reduced water flow. Insufficient water supply pressure. Dirty taps or mixers. Water valve blocked (filter). Heat exchanger blocked (limescale). Requires a service technician to inspect and test water supply pressures, and water components of the hot water unit. Unit makes a loud bang when igniting. Explosive ignition is not normal behaviour. Call a qualified technician. Presence of soot/black marks observed at This is not normal behaviour.
