6 720 607 072 (16 January)Appliance details72.4 General rules to follow for safeoperationB1.  You  should  follow  these  instructions  when  youinstall  your  heater.  In  the  United  States:  Theinstallation must conform with local codes or, in theabsence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas CodeANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.In  Canada:  The  Installation  should  conform  withCGA B149.(1,2)  INSTALLATION  CODES and /orlocal installation codes.B2. Carefully plan where you install the heater. Correctcombustion air supply and vent pipe installation arevery  important.  If  not  installed  correctly,  fatalaccidents  can  be  caused  by  lack  of  air,  carbonmonoxide poisoning or fire.B3.  When  the  unit  is  installed  indoors  and  ROOMSEALED (twin pipe) it is permitted to be located inbathrooms, bedrooms and occupied rooms that arenormally kept closed. See chapter 2.9. If the unit willbe installed indoors and use indoor combustion air,the  place  where  you  install  the  heater  must  haveenough  ventilation.  The  National  Fire  Codes  donot  allow  UNSEALED  gas  fired  water  heaterinstallations  in  bathrooms,  bedrooms  or  anyoccupied  rooms  normally  kept  closed. Seechapter 2.5 and 2.8.B4.  You  must  vent  your  heater.  See  section  onVENTING.B5.  The  appliance  must  be  isolated  from  the  gassupply piping system by closing its individual manualgas shutoff valve  (not supplied with heater) duringany pressure testing at pressures in excess of ½ Psig(3.5 kPa).The appliance and its gas connection must be leaktested before placing the appliance in operation.B6.  Keep  water  heater  area  clear  and  free  fromcombustibles and flammable liquids. Do not locatethe heater over any material which might burn.B7. Correct gas pressure is critical for the optimumoperation of this heater. Gas piping must be sized toprovide the required pressure at the maximum outputof the heater, while all the other gas appliances are inoperation.  Check  with  your local  gas supplier, andsee the section on connecting the gas supply.B8. Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail toshut off, turn off the gas supply at the manual gasshut  off  valve,  on  the  gas  line.  Note:  manual  gasshutoff valve is not supplied with the heater.B9.  Do  not  use  this  appliance  if  any  part  has  beenunderwater.  Immediately  call  a  qualified  servicetechnician to inspect the appliance and to replaceany part of the control system and any gas controlwhich has been underwater2.5 Proper location  for  installing  yourheaterCarefully  select  the  location  of the water  heater.  Foryour safety and for proper heater operation, you mustprovide  combustion  air  to  the  heater  and  a  properexhaust vent system.Follow the guidelines below:B1.  Locate  the  heater  where  venting,  gas  andplumbing connections are feasible and convenient.B2.  It  is  strongly  recommended  that  the  heater  beinstalled as a ROOM SEALED heater (twin pipe). Ifthe heater will be installed as an UNSEALED heater(single  pipe)  than  National  building  codes  requirethat you do not install this appliance in bathrooms,bedrooms  or  any  occupied  rooms  normally  keptclosed.  Heaters  that  are  UNSEALED  require  aconsiderable  amount  of  combustion  air,  seechapter 2.8.  If  installing  the  heater  UNSEALEDwithin a laundry room, be certain that the dryer isproperly vented. Failure to properly vent a dryer couldresult in a gradual accumulation of lint build up insidethe combustion chamber of the heater.B3. The hot water lines should be kept short to saveenergy. Centrally locating the water heater is best. Itis always best to have hot water lines insulated.Warning:  The  water  in  this  waterheater is cold and always remains coldexcept for  the  times that hot  water  isbeing used DO NOT INSTALL IN ANAREA WHERE IT COULD FREEZE.Drain  the  heater  entirely  if  freezingtemperatures  are  anticipated  in  areawhere  heater  is  installed  bydisconnecting both the inlet and outletconnections at the bottom of heater.To  prevent  any  freeze  damage,introduce  short  bursts of  compressedair  (20-40psi)  through  theseconnections  to  remove  the  residualwater in the horizontal pipes and watervalve.Warning:  Flammable  materials,gasoline, pressurized containers, or anyother items or articles that are potentialfire hazards must NOT be placed on oradjacent  to  the  heater.  The  appliancearea  must  be  kept  free  of  allcombustible  materials,  gasoline  andother flammable vapors and liquids.

For installations in an alcove or closet,maintain the  minimum clearances to  combustible andnon-combustible materials listed below. See also Fig. 6.A. Top 12 inches (306 mm)B. Front 4 inches (102 mm)C. 0 inchesD. Sides 4 inches (102 mm)E. Bottom 12 inches (306 mm)Clearances from any exhaust vent pipe are dependentupon the clearance requirements of the stainless steelvent  pipe  manufacturer.  Single  wall  stainless  steel(AL29-4C) vent  pipe (vent  type rated for  Category  IIIappliances)  must  be  used  when  exhaust  venting thisappliance. See 2.9 Venting.2.7 Mounting installationThe GWH-635-ES is design certified for mounting on awall. Secure the  wall mounting bracket provided withthe heater to a wall surface. See Fig. 7.Do not install this appliance on a carpeted wall or overfloor  covering  which  is  combustible,  such  as  carpet.The  heater  must  be  mounted  on  a  wall  usingappropriate anchoring materials.If the mounting bracket is unable to line up on two wallstuds it is recommended that support board(s), either1x4's or ½" (minimum) plywood first be attached acrossa pair of studs and then the heater should be attachedto the support boards. The heater should be kept levelon the wall surface. See Fig. 7.Expansion and contraction of piping due to changingwater temperature in the pipes imparts movement to theheater  which,  if  mounted  directly  to  a  brittle,  friableboard,  such  as  plasterboard,  can  cause  failure  ofmounting.Before installing the unit, be certain you have thecorrect heater for your type of Gas - Propane orNatural  Gas. Identification labels are found on theshipping box, and on the rating plate which is located onthe right side panel of the cover.Fig. 7 Mounting the heater2.8 Combustion air requirementsThe GWH-635-ES is a sealed  water heater and it isrecommended that outdoor combustion air be piped tothe  unit.  When  combustion  air  is  piped  to  the  unit(TWIN PIPE SYSTEM) the combustion air pipe systemmay  be  constructed  of  either  3"  PVC,  aluminum  orgalvanized pipe. See Fig. 11, 12 and 13. Select a pointfor building penetration being sure that the necessaryclearance on the outside of the building, between thecombustion air pipe and the exhaust vent terminator ofthe appliance, can be maintained, see Fig. 16. NOTE:Observe  all  local  building  codes  when  penetrating  abuilding wall.The  heater  has  the  ability  to  operate  withoutcombustion  air  being  piped  to  it  from  the  outside,provided there is an adequate amount of combustion airavailable in the room area. Observe the followinginstructions concerning combustion air when followingthe SINGLE PIPE (exhaust venting only) SYSTEM onlyand follow Fig. 14 and 15 for proper setup.• Appliances located in unconfined spaces:–a) An unconfined space is one whose volume isgreater than 50 cubic feet (1.42 cubic meter) per1000  Btu  per  hour  (292.81  Watts)  of  thecombined rating of all appliances installed in thespace.  That  would  be  8250  cubic  feet  (233.6cubic meter) for the GWH-635-ES alone.–b)  In  unconfined  spaces  in  buildings  ofconventional  frame,  masonry,  or  metalconstruction, infiltration air is normally adequate toprovide air for combustion.Warning: before starting installation:Bcheck  that  there  are  no  loose  partsinside the applianceBensure that gas pipe, gas valve, mixer,fan and burner have no damage and areproperly fitted.iFront  cover  should  be  removed  (seeinstructions on page 4) in order to inspectcomponents visually.

First determine the effective length ofthe gas supply line by measuring the actual length ofpiping, and then adding 5 ft. (1.52m) for every elbow or“T” to the actual length. Use the charts in Fig. 22 todetermine  the  pipe  diameter  necessary  toaccommodate the BTU (Wh) demand of the unit. Ifthere are more gas drawing appliances on the line, sizeaccording  to  the  maximum  amount  of  BTU  (Wh)demand.Note: It is important that if any flexible gas line is used,above or below ground between the gas supply meter/regulator and the water heater, that it be sized properly;we recommend the use of non-corrugated flexible gasline  when  used.  Consult  the  gas  sizing  specificationtables provided by the flexible gas line manufacturer.Fig. 21BInstall a manual gas shut off valve, on the gas supplyline.BThe use of a union when connecting gas pipe to thegas inlet connection is critical, this will facilitate anynecessary  servicing  and  cleaning  of  the  inlet  gasparticle screen.BFlexible gas line connectors are not recommendedbecause they are commonly undersized and restrictgas flow.

Flex line is NOT recommended,but  if  used,  then  oversize  the  diameter  of  the  flexpipe, keep the length to a minimum and try to keepthe flex line as straight as possible.National Fuel Gas Code requires that a sediment trap(drip  leg)  be  installed  on  gas  appliances  not  soequipped. Also, a manual gas shut  off valve must beinstalled on the gas supply line within close proximity ofthe water heater and be visible from the water heater.The water  heater  must  not be piped with gas  supplypressures  in  excess  of  0.5  psig.  If  overpressure  hasoccurred, such as through improper testing of the gaslines or malfunction of the supply system, the gas valvemust be checked for safe operation.When connections are made, check for gas leaks at alljoints. Apply some soapy water to all gas fittings. Soapbubbles are a sign of a leak.2.12 Measuring gas pressureTo measure and verify if adequate gas pressure is beingdelivered to the water heater, first run a high hot waterflow rate and operate other gas equipment on the sameload. Using a manometer,  then  measure the inlet gaspressure at the inlet gas pressure test port. See Fig. 23.Gas pressures lower than 5" W.C. for Natural Gas or11" W.C. for LPG will result in insufficient degree riseto the hot water being used. See Gas Connections,chapter 2.10.Fig. 23 Gas pressure measuring (left tapping)HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATIONDue to the lower density of air at high altitudes, outputmust be reduced in installations above 4000 ft (1219m).Burner output at altitudes greater than 4000 ft (1219m) will be electronically reduced once the control boardhas been properly adjusted.

Numerous water related problems can cause thiswater  valve  to malfunction  such  as: Insufficient waterflow volume to activate the burners at its minimum flowrequirement; Dirt in the water flow valve causing it tomalfunction;  Sediment  build-up  in  faucet  aerators,  orshower heads; Uneven pressures between cold and hot(with single lever mix valves); and Plumbing crossovers.These  water  flow  related  problems  can  cause  theheater to deliver  less than  its full  output,  or  to fail toignite or to shut down completely.Problems stated below in upper case and in bold faceshould be investigated when there is a problem with theperformance of the water heater but there is NO errorcode on the heater's LCD display or wireless remotecontrol.Any  failures  that  result  in  a  displayed  error  code  arereferenced  on  page 27.  A  Functional  Scheme  of  theGWH-635-ES  is  detailed  on  page29.  If  there  is  aproblem with the installation, venting or operation of theunit, the heater will communicate the source by theseerror codes.BURNERS DO NOT IGNITE WHEN HOT WATER ISTURNED ON•Cold  incoming  water  connection  made  towrong side of heaterMake sure cold water inlet connection is plumbed tothe right side of heater when facing unit•Water flow rate at hot water tap is too lowA minimum of 0.8 gallon/minute (3 l/m) is required toactivate the heater•Cold water inlet filter screen is dirtyRemove  water  inlet  filter  screen  and  clean.  Thescreen is located at the inlet connection to the waterheater, disconnecting the main cold supply line at theheater is required.  Check and clean faucet aeratorscreens too.•Crossover in plumbingThe heater  activates  when there  is sufficient waterflow through its water valve, a minimum of 0.8 gallon/minute (3 l/m) is required. If there is a crossover in theplumbing, the necessary hot water flow rate throughthe unit may not be reached, even though the flow atthe hot water tap is sufficient. A plumbing crossovercan be caused by a failed washer at a single leverfaucet, incorrect plumbing or a faulty mixing valve inthe piping. The crossover will create a back pressureWarning: Always turn off the electricalpower supply, turn off the manual gasvalve and turn off the manual watercontrol valves whenever servicing.

To confirm there is no crossover inthe plumbing, shut off the cold water supply feed tothe water  heater. Individually open  each  of  the hotwater taps. There should be no water flowing undera  constant  pressure.  If  there  is  a  constant  flow  ofwater  then  the  plumbing  crossover  must  becorrected before the heater can operate properly.WATER IS TOO HOT•Temperature selection too highLower temperature adjustment on heater or wirelessremote control accessory, see chapter 3.2.WATER IS NOT HOT ENOUGH•Temperature selection too lowIncrease  temperature  adjustment  on  heater  orwireless remote control accessory, see chapter 3.2•Btu input is too low due to inadequate gas linesizingSee  specifications  in  chapter 2.10  -  2.12.  TheGWH-635-ES  requires  adequate  gas  pressure  toreach  desired  temperatures,  to  compensate  forinadequate gas supply or lack of gas pressure theGWH-635-ES will effectively reach the selectedoutput temperature by reducing the hot water flowrate.

Greater  draws  will  result  inincreased pressure drop and reduced flow at taps.See flow/temperature chart on page 23.•Btu input is too low due to inadequate gas linesizingSee  specifications  in  chapter 2.10  -  2.12.  TheGWH-635-ES  requires  adequate  gas  pressure  toreach  expected  temperatures  and  flow  rates,  tocompensate for inadequate gas supply or lack of gaspressure the GWH-635-ES will effectively reach theselected  output  temperature,  but  only  by  reducingthe  hot  water  flow  rate.  Its  motorized  water  valvemakes  this  adjustment.  Proper  gas  pressure  willneed  to  be  delivered  before  the  motorized  watervalve will allow greater flow rates through it. Loweringthe set temperature will also allow increased waterflow  rate  through  the  motorized  water  valve.  Seeflow/temperature chart on page 23.•Cold water inlet filter screen is dirtyRemove water inlet filter screen and clean. Thescreen is located at the inlet connection to the waterheater, disconnecting the main cold supply line at theheater is required. Check and clean faucet aeratorscreens too.HOT  WATER  TEMPERATURE  FLUCTUATES  /UNIT DEACTIVATED•Unbalanced pressure in water linesAny restriction caused by the water heater in the hotwater  system  can  result  in  uneven  pressuresbetween the cold and the hot. In such cases whenmixing  cold  water  at  the  tap  (manually  orautomatically  through  a  mix-type  shower valve)  thelower hot water pressure may be overpowered by thehigher cold water pressure in the building and causethe hot water flow rate to fall below the minimum raterequired.  A  pressure  balance  valve  will  help  toresolve this symptom. •Temperature balance valvesIf the outlet  water  temperature  is  set too high,  theheater can produce temperatures that are too hot. Atemperature balance shower valve can automaticallymix  in  cold  water  to  reduce  such  hot  watertemperature.    In  the  event  of  any  temperatureinstability  with  the  use  of  a  temperature  balanceshower valve,  refer to shower valve manufacturer'sinstructions  for  internal  adjustment  setting.Adjustments should be made to the hottest setting inthe  shower  valve.  Additionally  the  temperaturecontrol of the heater can be lowered to produce amore comfortable hot water temperature.•Inlet  water  pressure  is  erratic  due  tofluctuating supply water pressureFor installation on a private well system with the useof a pressure tank, the lowest pressure range settingrecommended is 30-50 psi (2.07-3.45 bar). The useof a pressure reducing valve after the pressure tankis also an effective way to maintain a constant waterpressure to the water heater. Watts brand 25AUB-¾” or N35B-¾” pressure relief valves or equivalentare suggested.

Contact  your  city  authorities  forinformation about the disposal of recyclable products.Saving water resources:BMake sure you close all the taps after any use. Avoidleaving the taps dripping. Repair any leaking tap.BWhenever possible use taps with built-in water flowlimiters.  They  will  give  you  the  same  comfort  levelwhile saving water.BDefine the temperature you want, in the appliance orwith  the  remote  control.  This  way  you  have  theprecise  water  flow  needed  (mixing  cold  water  toregulate temperature will increase the water flow withconsequent waste of water).For increased safety shut off the appliance fromthe  main  water  supply  if  your  are  staying  awayfrom home for a considerable time.At  below  freezing  temperatures, disconnect  theplumbing  connections  to  the  heater  and  allowthe heater to drain.To  prevent  any  freeze  damage,  introduce  shortbursts  of  compressed  air  (20-40  psi)  throughthese connections to remove the residual waterin the horizontal pipes and water valve.
