6. Turn control knob clockwise Clockwise to the PILOT position. Fully depress control knob for five seconds or more.

Note: You may be running this heater for the first time after hooking up to gas supply. If so, you may need to depress control knob in for 15 seconds. This allows air to bleed from the gas system.

7.With control knob depressed, push down and release ignitor button. This will light pilot. The pilot is attached to the front of burner. You can see pilot through front glass of heater (see Figure 17). If needed, keep pressing ignitor button until pilot lights.

Note: If pilot does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, pages 26 through 29. Also contact a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot with match. To light pilot with match, see Manual Lighting Procedure, page 22.

8.Keep control knob depressed for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob.

If control knob does not pop up when released, contact a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs.

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.
