SAFETY

WARNINGS

INFORMATION

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and completely be-

fore trying to assemble, operate, or service this heater. Improper use of

 

this heater can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosion,

 

electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

DANGER

Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be operating or venting properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater or heater venting system serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

Propane Gas: Propane gas is odorless. An odor-making agent is added to propane gas. The odor helps you detect a propane gas leak. However, the odor added to propane gas can fade. Propane gas may be present even though no odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all Warnings. Keep this manual for reference.

It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

1.A qualified service person must install heater and venting system.

2.Use only propane gas. Do not convert heater to use different fuel type.

3.Do not place propane supply tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane supply tank(s) outdoors.

4.If you smell gas

•Shut off gas supply.

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

5.This heater must have fresh air for proper operation. If not, poor fuel combustion and improper venting of flue gases will result. Carbon monoxide poisoning from backed-up flue gases could occur. The State of California lists carbon monoxide as a reproductive toxin under Proposition 65. Read the instructions under Fresh Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 16 through 19 for complete information.

6.Never install the heater

•in a mobile home or a recreational vehicle.

•where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 48 inches from the front, 53 inches from top, or 12 inches from right side and 6 inches from left side and back of heater.

•directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible materials other than wood flooring. Place heater on metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of heater.

•as a fireplace insert.

•in high traffic areas.

•in windy or drafty areas.

GVB50P, GVB35P specifications

The Vanguard Heating GVB35P and GVB50P models represent a significant advancement in home heating technology, designed to cater to the needs of residential spaces with varying heating demands. These gas-fired boilers not only ensure optimal warmth but also focus on energy efficiency and user-friendly operation.

One of the main features of the GVB35P and GVB50P is their impressive heating capacity. The GVB35P is suitable for smaller homes or apartments, with a heating output of around 35,000 BTU, while the GVB50P is designed for larger spaces, offering an impressive 50,000 BTU. This versatility allows homeowners to select the most appropriate model for their specific requirements, ensuring efficient heating without unnecessary energy consumption.

Both models incorporate advanced condensing technology, which significantly enhances their efficiency ratings. By capturing and reusing heat that typically escapes through the flue in traditional boilers, the GVB35P and GVB50P achieve high Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings. This not only reduces the overall energy bill but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint, making these models an environmentally conscious choice.

The construction of the GVB35P and GVB50P features robust, durable materials aimed at maximizing longevity and reliability. The heat exchangers are designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures, ensuring safety and durability. Additionally, these models are equipped with a modulating gas burner, which allows for precise temperature control and minimizes energy wastage during operation.

User convenience is further enhanced by the inclusion of a built-in digital control system. This allows homeowners to easily adjust the heating settings remotely, ensuring homes are warm upon arrival without requiring constant manual input. Moreover, the low maintenance requirements of these models make them appealing to busy homeowners, as regular service intervals are reduced.

In summary, the Vanguard Heating GVB35P and GVB50P models combine advanced technology, high efficiency, and user-friendly features to deliver exceptional heating performance. Their durable construction, energy-saving capabilities, and modern controls make them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to enhance comfort while minimizing environmental impact. Whether for a small apartment or a larger home, these boilers stand out as a reliable heating solution.
