TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

DANGER

Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within 5 seconds at a temperature setting of 135°F (57°C). To protect against hot water injury, install a mixing valve in the water system. This valve will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch water lines. A licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing authority should be consulted.

CAUTION

This water heater, when set at a lower temperature setting is not capable of producing hot water of sufficient temperature for sanitizing purposes.

Always check water temperature by hand before entering the shower or bath. The temperature may have been changed.

NOTICE

This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent overheating. Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance and call a qualified service agency.

NOTICE

The lower the temperature setting, the greater the energy efficiency to heat the water. Lower water temperatures also extend the heat exchanger life. Remember, not water heating system will provide exact temperatures at all times. Allow a few days of operation at this setting to determine the correct temperature setting consistent with the requirements for the installation.

Residential Models:

1.The outlet water temperature of the EVERHOT→ water heaters is adjusted using the Main Control located on the front panel of the water heater. When a Bath Control or an additional Secondary Bath Control is installed, the temperature can only be adjusted on the control that has the Priority Indicator Light glowing. The temperature displayed on the control in use will also be displayed on all the other remote controls.

2.To set the desired temperature on the control, all hot water faucets must be closed. If there are remote Bath Controls installed, press the “Priority” button on the control you want to change the setting on and the yellow “Priority” indicator light will glow.

3.Press the “H” or “C” button until the required temperature is displayed on the digital monitor. The Bath Controls have a maximum temperature setting of 120°F, while the Main Control on the water heater has a maximum setpoint of 160°F.

4.To operate the water heater, simply turn any hot water tap on. This will automatically light the burner and provide hot water at the preset temperature. If the optional remote controls have been installed, the green “IN USE” indicator light will glow on all remote controls.

5.The control(s) can also display diagnostic error codes, water flow rate through the unit (in gallons per minute) and the outlet water temperature.

6.Pressing the “Priority Button” followed by the “H” button will display a sequence of up to 9 error codes, if any, stored in memory that has been experienced. Any current error codes will be displayed on the digital monitor.

IGI-180C, IGI-180R specifications

Bradford-White Corporation is a well-known name in the water heating industry, offering a range of reliable and efficient products. Among its noteworthy offerings are the IGI-180R and IGI-180C indirect water heaters. These models exemplify the company's commitment to quality and innovation, featuring robust designs and cutting-edge technologies.

The IGI-180R and IGI-180C units are designed to provide a consistent supply of hot water for residential and commercial applications. Both models have a storage capacity of 180 gallons, making them ideal for settings that require large volumes of hot water, such as restaurants, schools, and larger households. Their large tanks ensure minimal wait times and a reliable hot water supply, even during peak usage periods.

One of the key features of the IGI series is their indirect heating capability. Instead of relying on electric elements or gas burners, these heaters use a separate boiler or heating system to provide the necessary heat. This allows for more efficient operation, as the water is heated more evenly and effectively. The models integrate seamlessly with existing boiler systems, making them an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade or expand their hot water capabilities without extensive modifications.

Both the IGI-180R and IGI-180C incorporate advanced insulation technology, minimizing heat loss and improving energy efficiency. The high-density foam insulation encases the tank, keeping the water hot for longer periods and reducing energy costs associated with reheating. This insulation also contributes to a longer lifespan for the unit, as it reduces the wear and tear on the heating systems.

Another pivotal characteristic of these units is their durable construction. Bradford-White utilizes high-quality materials and rigorous manufacturing standards, ensuring that the IGI models withstand the test of time. The tanks are constructed from heavy-duty steel with a glass lining that protects against corrosion and sediment buildup, enhancing the longevity and performance of the water heater.

Lastly, both models come equipped with a range of safety features, including an integrated Pressure Relief Valve and a temperature control system. These elements safeguard against overheating and pressure issues, ensuring safe operation.

In conclusion, the IGI-180R and IGI-180C indirect water heaters by Bradford-White Corporation stand out for their efficient, reliable, and durable design. With advanced heating technology, excellent insulation, and robust safety features, they are a smart investment for any hot water demand scenario.
