CAUTION

In climates where below freezing temperatures may occur, the water heater must be drained when power is off to the water heater to prevent freeze damage to the heat exchanger. Drain solenoids are recommended to prevent freeze damage during power failures in cold climate regions.

TURNING OFF THE WATER HEATER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME

If the EverHot® water heater is to be turned off for an extended period of time, the following steps should be taken.

1.Turn the gas shutoff valve on the gas supply inlet to the OFF position (See Figure 15).

2.Disconnect the electrical supply to the water heater.

3.Shut off the cold water supply to the water heater and open the drain valve to drain the water heater. If the water heater was installed with drain solenoid freeze protection, the water heater will drain automatically when power is disconnected.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

DANGER

Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within 5 seconds at a temperature setting of 140°F (60°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 fails to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the water heater and call a qualified service agent.

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, no 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.

1.The outlet water temperature of the EverHot water heaters is adjusted using the main remote control (or optional remote controls). When a remote temperature 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.

TGHE-160E-N(X), TGHE-199E-N(X) specifications

Bradford-White Corporation is renowned for its commitment to quality and innovation in the water heating industry. Among its extensive range of products, the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) models stand out for their advanced technology and reliable performance, making them a preferred choice for both residential and commercial applications.

The TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) are high-efficiency, gas-fired water heaters designed to meet the rising demand for sustainable energy solutions without compromising on performance. Both models feature a powerful, energy-efficient design that significantly reduces energy consumption while providing a consistent supply of hot water.

One of the main features of these models is their use of advanced technology in water heating. The units are equipped with a high-efficiency burner and an optimized heat exchanger that maximizes the transfer of energy, ensuring rapid heating and minimal standby loss. This efficiency is further enhanced by their ability to modulate gas flow, allowing the heater to adjust its operation based on actual demand, rather than running at full capacity at all times.

Safety is a priority in the design of the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X). Both models are equipped with an electronic ignition system, which eliminates the need for a continuous pilot light, reducing gas consumption and enhancing safety. Furthermore, they include advanced venting options, such as concentric or PVC venting, providing installation flexibility while adhering to stringent building codes.

Moreover, these water heaters are built to last, featuring a durable tank design with a powder-coated, steel construction and a patented Vitraglas® lining. This lining protects against corrosion and extends the life of the tank, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.

Installation and maintenance of the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) are straightforward, thanks to their user-friendly design. They come with easily accessible components, making service and repairs less time-consuming and more cost-effective.

In summary, the Bradford-White TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) gas-fired water heaters exemplify the best in modern water heating technology. Their energy efficiency, safety features, and durable construction make them a top choice for those seeking dependable hot water solutions in residential and commercial settings. With a commitment to innovation and quality, Bradford-White continues to lead the way in delivering superior water heating products.
