Bock Water heaters 32E - Manual (Page 2)

– 2 –
THIS MANUAL HAS BEEN PREPARED TO ACQUAINT YOU WITH THE INSTAL-
LATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR WATER HEATER AND
TO PROVIDE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
Read all instructions thoroughly before attempting installation or operation of the
water heater. Keep these and all component instructions for future reference.
The manufacturer of this water heater will not be liable for any damages caused
by failure to comply with the installation and operating instructions outlined on the
following pages. These instructions are a guide for the correct installation of the
water heater.
If the installer lacks the necessary skills or has difficulty following the
directions, do not proceed but get help from a qualified person for that part of the
installation that is not understood.
Local plumbing and electrical codes must be followed in the installation of this
water heater. In the absence of a local code use the UNIFORM PLUMBING
CODE and the NFPA Code. Local codes may supersede instructions in this instal-
lation manual.
When two or more burners are used, each unit should have a separate
supply line to the fuel pump to prevent nuisance lockouts caused by one or both
pumps starving for oil. If this is not possible, the use of a priority
control is recommended.
Check new equipment to see if all components are in good condition.
The water heater and oil burner may be shipped as separate units. The aquastat
and immersion well may be packed with the oil burner.
The new water heater requires fuel (#I or #2 heating oil), electricity and should be
close to the chimney and water supply. Locate the heater near a floor drain if pos-
sible for easy maintenance and protection if trouble should occur. Allow ample
space around the heater for servicing (see combustible clearance warning, page
1). Adequate air for combustion must be available. NOTE: Locate the heater so it
is not subject to physical damage by moving vehicles or possible flooding.
