The Bradford White eF Series

Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater uses a low

Nox premix power burner located at the top of the water heater to direct a turbulent

flame down into a submerged combustion chamber. This turbulence causes a

thorough mixing of gas and air for optimum combustion. The combustion gases

then travel through a three pass flue system keeping the gases moving at a high

velocity. The combination of high turbulence and velocity results in an optimum

transfer of heat from the flue gases into the water.

Burner operation is controlled using an electronic ignition module. The module

monitors the status of the electronic thermostat, vent temperature limit switch, vent

system pressure switches and a flame sensor to control output voltage to blower

motor, hot surface igniter/spark rod and gas valve. The module contains

programming which determines the sequence of operation and timings for purge

periods, trial for ignition, flame sensing and lockout. The module will also provide

diagnostic information to help in determining the cause of system lockouts.

The contents in this manual are detailed informational tools to assist in the proper

diagnosis of the eF Series

Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater operational faults.

Please read this service manual completely and provide as much information

regarding the eF Series

Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater operation and

installation specific concerns.

The Bradford White eF Series

Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater is designed to

deliver a remarkable thermal efficiency rating in a quiet running unit with venting

options that allow for installation flexibility. Several technologically advanced

design features are incorporated in the design that will require additional

knowledge on the part of the qualified service provider. The information in this

manual will instruct service and maintenance professionals on the function, proper

diagnosis and repair of The Bradford White eF Series

Ultra High Efficiency Water

Heater.
