Thecondensingtanklessgaswater

When heat from the exhaust gas is collected within
the secondary heat exchanger, condensation occurs
from moisture in the exhaust gas and the resulting
water is discharged from the drain pipe (approx.
2 gallons/hour (7.5 liters/hour) maximum). It is not a
water leak. Do not plug or block the drain line as it
must always be allowed to freely ow.
Note : The condensate discharged is acidic with a pH
level of approximately 2-3.
A condensate neutralizer may be required by
local code prior to disposal.

(Installation example)
OverviewofCondensingTanklessGasWaterHeater
This water heater is a high efciency, fully condensing appliance. Unlike a traditional tankless water
heater, a condensing type captures heat from the exhaust gas and uses it to preheat the incoming
cold water as it passes through the secondary heat exchanger as illustrated below.
Thecondensingtanklessgas
water heater tends to show
whitesteam.
After the exhaust gas passes through the
secondary heat exchanger, the low temperature
and high moisture content tends to produce
steam at the vent discharge terminal.
This is a normal occurrence.
Condensate
comes out from
here.
During combustion, white
steam may often be seen.
This is normal.

• Children, disabled and elderly are at the highest risk of being scalded.
Feel water temperature before bathing or showering.
Temperature limiting valves are available, ask a professional person.
•
When setting the unit to 125°F (55°C in °C mode) or higher, “Hi temp” will ash for 10 seconds and emit a
tone as a high temperature warning.
• Take caution when using the unit again after setting to 125°F (52°C) or higher. Always check the set
temperature before use.

Setting Hot Water Temperature
Operation ScreenDisplay Description
• Hot water temperatures shown are approximate and may differ from the actual temperature at the fixture
depending on external factors such as the season and length of piping in the system.
• When low temperatures are set (for washing dishes, etc.), if the incoming water temperature is already quite
high, it may be difficult to ensure the outgoing water temperature is as per the setting.
• Please check the temperature displayed before using any hot water.
Be especially careful using hot water after the set temperature has been changed.
• When the hot water temperature is adjusted using thermostat controlled water mixing valves, set the
temperature on the remote controller approximately 20°F (10°C) higher than the required temperature to
ensure the appropriate fixture temperature.
If xtures incorporate mixing valves, set the temperature higher than usual.
*
For applications that occasionally require a higher temperature setting, locate the remote controller in a convenient location.
* Consult local codes for minimum operating temperatures.
Note : An error code will be displayed when this water heater detects scale build-up in the heat exchanger.
The error code may be more frequently displayed when the unit is set to a high temperature. (125°F or higher)
Noritz recommends that water temperature is set as low as possible to prevent scale build-up in the heat exchanger.
The maximum output temperature can be set using the remote controller. ( p.23)
