4. In the Event of Power Failure
The MagnaTech will not operate during an electrical power outage. If there is an extended power outage
with danger of freezing, then the MagnaTech (and all other water systems) should be completely drained.
Before draining the unit, turn o󰀨 the gas and turn o󰀨 the main power switch. When you replace the unit in
service, refer to the “Installation and Operation Manual” for instructions on lling and purging.
5. General Care
Keep the area around the MagnaTech clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
ammable vapors and liquids. Clean the jacket surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use
ammable cleaning materials. Keep the vent terminal free of obstructions. Do not pile snow against the vent
terminal.
6. Annual Inspection and Service
You should visually inspect the vent pipe once a year. Should any corrosion or leaks exist, have the a󰀨ected
parts replaced.
Once each year a qualied service agency should conduct a detailed inspection of all ue product carrying
areas of the boiler and vent system. Follow the service instructions in the “Installation and Operating
Instructions Manual” for the MagnaTech.
Once each year inspect the condensate drain line, vent line, condensate PVC ttings, the condensate
trap and condensate neutralizer (if installed). If necessary, disassemble and ush with fresh water and
reassemble.
Once each year inspect and clean the air inlet lter. See the Section 11 of your units Installation and
Operation Instructions for a complete list of maintenance items.
7. For Service
Contact your installing contractor, gas utility, Bradford White dealer, or check www.BradfordWhite.com for
the nearest authorized representative in your area.
8. About Lockouts, Limits and Alarms
The system responds to three kinds of trouble indications:
A Lockout is caused by a serious problem that might involve a safety issue. Once the controller enters
a lockout, the burners will shut down, and will not be allowed to run again until the cause of the problem
is corrected, and you reset the control system. If the lock-out does not reset, or the lock-out condition
continues to occur, contact a qualied service agency to restore the unit to normal operations.
See the Installation and Operation Instructions for the full list of lockouts.
There are also Limits which will cause the boiler to shut down but allow restart when the fault goes away
or the limit value is no longer exceeded. In this case, operator intervention is not required. An example of
this is a water ow switch safety limit. If the water ow to the boiler drops below a pre-set value, the unit
will shut down but restart when the correct ow rate is re-established. In some cases, if the fault continues
to occur, the system will enter a Lockout condition.
Alarm conditions are indicated through lockout banners and/or messages. Lockout conditions are
annunciated with a red banner at the top of the display and a corresponding code. The message icon will
show an exclamation point when there is a message. Messages will provide information regarding the
status of the unit and the condition limiting operation.
