Water Quality and Maintenance
For people who live in a hard water area, periodic flushing is necessary.
If the Heat Exchanger is not flushed, the Scale Build-up may cause damage to the Heat Exchanger.
To prevent damage to the Heat Exchanger, the Heat Exchanger regularly needs to be flushed.
This water heater is equipped with an automatic service reminder to announce for flushing the Heat Exchanger.
The factory default of this service reminder is OFF. The customer or installer needs to set the service
reminder to ON or OFF. Refer to the “How to select the Service Reminder” in the installation Manual.
If the service reminder is selected to ON, the code “C1#*” will displayed on the remote controller
after the set time period has been reached. When the code is displayed, the Heat Exchanger needs
to be flushed to prevent damage from Scale Build-up.
Refer to the “Procedure for flushing the Heat Exchanger” in the Installation Manual or contact Noritz
America for more information. (http://support.noritz.com/ or 866-766-7489)
