WARNING If the information in thes e instructions is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury, or death.
Page 4 WARNING Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or injury, do not store materials against the water heater or any of its components . Use proper care to avoid unnecessary contact, especially by children, with the water heater and its components .
Page 5 The Bradford White DEFENDER Safety System ® T he Bradford White DEFENDER Safety System was designed to resist the ignition of f lammable vapors that can occur outside of the water heater. Use and installation are nearly identical to previous versions of atmospherically fired and vented water heaters.
Page 6 How to Use this Manual T his manual serves as a supplement to the Defender Atmospheric service manual, p/n 238-44943-00. Please refer to the Defender Atmospheric service manual for all features on this water heater that are consistent with a Defender (standard) Atmospheric water heater.

Page 9 Note: The Sequence of Operation section is in addition to the Defender Atmospheric Service Manual, p/n 238-44943-00. Power Up Sequence 1. Start-up: Upon power up, the gas control runs a safe start check with a typical delay of 5 seconds.
Page 10 Normal Heating Sequence (cont’d) 7. Steady State Operation: During steady state operation, the gas control monitors: Thermostat Temperature Sensor: When the setpoint temperature is satisfied, the gas control is shutdown, and power is removed from the relay.
Page 11 Abnormal Operation (cont’d) 2. Temperature Sensor Fault: A) Temperature Sensor Open Circuit: The gas control immediately turns off all outputs and proceeds to flash 8 times then 3 times with a three second pause. The error self clears if the fault clears for at least 15 seconds.
Page 12 Abnormal Operation (cont’d) 5. Flame Sensing Fault: A) Flame Lost During Run: The gas control turns off pilot and main valves. The gas control increments the recycle count, if the recycle count has not reached its limit (4), another trial for ignition begins.

Page 17 Note: The Burner Maintenance section replaces pages 31-33 in the Defender Atmospheric service manual, p/n 238-44943-00. Burner Inspection At periodic intervals (every 6 months), a visual inspection should be made of the pilot and main burner for proper operation and to assure no debris is accumulating.
Page 18 Burner Cleaning Procedure (cont’d) Step 5. Remove the (4) 1/4” hex drive screws holding the right side inner door in place. Step 6 . Disconnect the pilot tube using a 7/16” wrench and the main burner feedline with a 3/4” wrench from the gas control.
Page 19 Burner Cleaning Procedure (cont’d) Step 12. Re-assemble the burner assembly and re-install into the water heater. Restore gas supply and check for gas leaks. Step 13. To resume operation, follow the instructions located on the water heater lighting instruction label.
Page 20 Pilot Inspection, Testing, and Replacement (cont’d) Step 6 . Disconnect the pilot tube using a 7/16” wrench and the main burner feedline with a 3/4” wrench from the gas control. Step 7. Disconnect the spark igniter/flame sensor wire from gas control.
Page 21 Pilot Inspection, Testing, and Replacement (cont’d) Step 12. Visually inspect the spark igniter/flame sense electrode for deterioration. Replace the pilot assembly, if necessary.
Page 22 Thermal Well Testing (cont’d) Follow the procedure, below, if the water heater gas control has gone into a ECO lockout (4 flash, 3 second pause). Reset the gas control by rotating the setpoint knob to the minimum setting for at least 6 seconds before returning to the desired water temperature setting.
Page 23 Determine Water Temperature Inside Tank (cont’d) Step 1. Move the gas control power switch to the “OFF” position. Step 2 . Draw approximately 4 gallons of water from the drain valve into a container and discard. Draw an additional gallon and immediately measure the water temperature using an accurate thermometer.
Page 24 Gas Control & Thermal Well Removal From Water Heater Note: The Component Disassembly, Gas Control Removal, and Gas Control Assembly sections replace pages 24-30 in the Defender Atmospheric service manual, p/n 238-44943-00. Step 1. Move the gas control power switch to the “OFF” position.
Page 25 Gas Control Removal From Thermal Well Following the steps below allow for the removal of the gas control from the thermal well without removing the thermal well from the tank. Step 1. Move the gas control power switch to the “OFF” position.
Page 26 Gas Control Removal From Thermal Well (cont’d) Step 7. Pivot the tool towards the water heater, as far as possible. Lift straight up on the gas control. The gas control should move about 1/8". Hold the gas control in position and remove the tool.
Page 27 Gas Control Assembly to the Thermal Well (cont’d) Step 6. Reconnect the wire harnesses to the gas control. Step 7. Reconnect the gas piping to the gas control. Restore the gas supply and check for gas leaks. Step 8. To resume operation, follow the instructions located on the water heater lighting instruction label.
Page 28 Flammable Vapor Sensor Testing (cont’d) Step 3. Using a multi-meter set to the ohms setting, measure the resistance of the flammable vapor sensor and resettable thermal switch. The resistance must be between 3,000 and 48,000 ohms. If the resistance is out of this range, verify that the resettable thermal switch has not been tripped.
Page 29 Relay Replacement (cont’d) Step 3. Remove the (2) screws holding the Setback Control Junction Box Assembly cover on and retain for later use. Step 4. Mark the (4) wires that are attached to the relay, so their proper location is known. Step 5.
