5. is unit should not be installed in a location where it may be exposed to freezing temperatures (less than 32°F (0°C).)
CAUTION: This unit comes equipped with freeze protection. However, in the event
that electrical power is lost or is disconnected from the unit, there is NO freeze
protection. FREEZE PROTECTION OF THE WATER HEATER IS ONLY
POSSIBLE WHEN ELECTRICITY AND NORMAL WATER HEATER FUNCTIONS
ARE ENABLED. If you expect freezing conditions while electrical supply is
interrupted, WATER MUST BE COMPLETELY DRAINED FROM WATER HEATER.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS INSTRUCTION VOIDS ALL WARRANTIES.
NOTE: e installation of auto drain down solenoid valves is optional. However, Bollente strongly recommends that these
valves be installed so that water may be drained from the unit to prevent damage from freezing in case the normal freeze
protection should become disabled. If the valves are not installed, then any product damage due to freezing will not be
covered by the warranty.
6. e unit should be located in an area where water leakage from the unit or connections will not result in damage to the area
adjacent to the unit. If such a location cannot be avoided it is recommended that a drain pan be installed under the unit.
7. Electrical service to the VERO BR/BC trutankless water heater must be in accordance with all applicable national electric
safety codes, state/provincial and local electric and building codes.
NOTE: Bollente recommends you place the unit near the electrical service panel. A licensed contractor can help you
choose the unit location and the chassis electrical access point which is best suited for your installation.
8. Place the unit where it will not be struck by objects and away from other sources of heat.
9. Install the unit where it can be mounted at eye level to allow easy access to the touch screen display for reading and
programming controls.
10. e unit must be mounted to wall studs or other structural member, or with wall anchors appropriate for the type of wall
surface and sucient to securely hold 40 pounds if there is no convenient structural member available.
WARNING: Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the unit falling
from the wall, creating the possibility of personal injury or death.
11. trutankless electric water heaters are designed for a very long service life, but actual life expectancy will be directly
aected by water quality and use. If you do not already know the quality of your water, we advise testing (your water
department may be able to assist). Especially in areas where the water hardness exceeds 180 PPM or 10.5 grains/gallons,
installing a non-salt based soener or polyphosphate in-line lter may prolong the life of your unit.
