heads, faucet aerators and whole house filters.

3.Check venting specifications are met. Long vent lengths, venting with more than three elbows, blocked vent or combination venting may cause this failure.

4.Check gas pressure. Low gas pressure may prevent the heater from reaching desired output temperature.

5.Check supply voltage. It must be 120VAC and properly grounded.

6.Possible defective control unit call Bosch Water Heating for further instructions.

7.Ensure that outlet temperature sensor is not placed on any bends in the hot water pipe or misreading may occur.

4. Ensure intake and exhaust terminations maintain the required

 

 

minimum clearances stated in the manual. Cross contamination

 

 

between intake and exhaust may cause the fan to alter its

 

 

rotational speed.

 

 

 

5. Check gas pressure. Low gas pressure may cause the fan to

 

 

change its speed to meet desired temperature.

1. Disconnect power supply cord and check the two wire and

 

 

ground connections on control board as well as ground connection

2. Pushing the wrong combination of buttons on the control unit

 

 

can create confusion among the microprocessors inside. In this

 

 

case, the error code should not happen more than once or twice.

 

 

Turn off the water heater. Turn water heater back on and try

 

 

resetting error code. Use the reset button (

codes.

 

 

 

3. Possible defective control unit. Call Bosch Water Heating for

 

 

further instructions.
