WARNING If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire or ex- plosion may result causing property damage, personal injury, or death.
Page 4 WARNING Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or injury, do not store materials against the water heater or any of its components. Use proper care to avoid unnecessary contact, especially by children, with the water heater and its components.
Page 5 The Bradford White ECO-DEFENDER Safety System ® The Bradford White ECO-DEFENDER Safety System was designed to resist the ignition of flammable vapors that can occur outside of the water heater and produce Ultra Low NOx emissions.
Page 6 operating parameters exists, the gas control diagn ostic LED will flash a code to positively identify an operational issue. This service manual is designed to facilitate problem diagnosis and enhance service efficiency. To further promote quicker service tim es the new gas valve can be removed and replaced without draining the water heater.

Page 12 Power Up Sequence 1. Start-up: Upon power up, the gas control runs a safe start check with a typical delay of 5 seconds. 2. Flammable Vapor Verification: The gas control verifies that the Flamma- ble Vapor Sensor is in the proper operating range prior to energizing any components.
Page 13 Normal Heating Sequence (cont’d) 7. Main Burner Ignition: After pilot flame is sensed, the gas control acti- vates the main valve for main burner ignition. The gas control will ig- nore flame and pressure switch signals for 3 seconds to allow for the main burner to stabilize.
Page 14 Abnormal Operation (cont’d) B) If the resistance is below 3000 ohms: The gas control immediately turns off all outputs and proceeds to flash 8 times then 1 time with a three second pause. The error self clears if the resistance returns to nor- mal range for at least 15 seconds.
Page 15 Abnormal Operation (cont’d) B) Pressure switch or blower temperature switch failed to close: The gas control runs the blower for 30 seconds waiting for the pressure switch and/or the blower temperature switch to close.
Page 16 Abnormal Operation (cont’d) 5. Flame Sensing Fault: A) Flame Lost During Run: The gas control turns off the pilot and main valves and runs the blower for 15 seconds (inter-purge) The gas control increments the recycle count, if the recycle count has not reached its limit (4), another trial for ignition begins.
