2.6 Linear safety spillage switch  
The linear safety spillage switch provides a means  
for safety shut down of the water heater in the event  
of flue blockage or power vent failure. If hot flue  
gases spill from the draft hood diverter, the draft  
spillage sensing switch will open the pilot safety  
circuit and shut off all gas to the water heater. The  
switch is normally closed and opens at temperatures  
greater than 185º F. It has a manual reset button.  
Mounting the linear safety spillage switch  
1. Attach the spillage switch to the top left of the  
heater’s draft diverter using the existing hole and  
the included mounting screw. (Fig. 6)  
2. Lay copper capillary sensing tube across top of  
the draft diverter. Allow excess tube to hang down  
right side of heater. Do not cut or crimp  
capillary tube.  
3. Route the two wires from the spillage switch down  
the left side of heater to the ECO keeping the cables  
out of contact with hot surfaces. (Fig. 6)

Operation  
3 Operation  
4 Maintenance  
The vent system must be inspected at regular 3-month  
intervals. Points of inspection are as follows:  
1. Screened opening of the vent hood should be free  
from foreign material and cleaned as necessary.  
2. Check all vent system connections for leakage and  
reseal where needed with high temperature  
silicone sealant. If any vent pipe component shows  
signs of deterioration, replace immediately.  
3. Inspect proper closure of the back draft flapper  
accessory. If the flapper does not properly close,  
there is a risk of freezing air crossing the heat  
exchanger that may cause the pipes to freeze and  
burst. This condition is not covered by the water  
heater warranty. SeeFig. 11A for a properly closed  
back-draftflapper.  
3.1 First time start up  
It is important to verify proper operation of the power  
vent motor before commissioning the system:  
1. Slowly turn on cold water supply and check for  
any leaks at newly installed flow switch and piping.  
2. Plug power vent motor into 120VAC outlet.  
3. With the gas supply to the water heater turned off  
(see water heater manual) turn on a hot water  
tap. The power vent motor should come on. Verify  
the back-draft flapper is open and air is being  
blown out of the power vent hood. If not, see the  
troubleshooting tips in Chapter 5.  
4. Turn off hot water tap.  
Note: The AQ4 power vent fan motor is equipped  
with a 45 second post purge cycle. The fan motor  
should continue to run for this length of time after  
the hot water flow has been shut off.  
4. Conduct safety interlock test and operation of  
backdraft flapper once a year (Chapter 3.1.2).  
5. Open gas supply to the water heater and follow  
the lighting instructions in water heater  
installation manual.  
3.1.1 Draft test  
1. Check for proper combustion and ensure there is  
no spillage by holding an recently extinguished  
match or other visible smoke source in front of  
thedraftdivertor. The smoke fromthe extinguished  
match should be quickly sucked into the opening  
and up the exhaust venting. If the smoke is blown  
back, there is a blockage in the vent or the vent  
motor is not operating properly.  
3.1.2 Safety interlock test  
Fig. 11A Properly closed backdraft flapper  
1. Open the gas supply to the water heater.  
2. Block the back draft flapper from opening from  
the outside.  
CAUTION: The metal of the back draft  
flapper will be hot when conducting this  
test.  
3. Turn on the hot water supply to allow the burner  
to activate. Hot flue gasses will spill from the  
draft diverter momentarily. In less than three (3)  
minutes, the linear spillage switch should trip,  
opening the the heater safety circuit and halting  
the flow of gas to the heater.  
NOTE: If spillage switch does not shut off the  
gas, check that you have made the proper safety  
circuit connections. If the switch still does not  
trip, contact Bosch Water Heating.  
Fig. 11B Improperly closed backdraft flapper  
4. After the burners shut off, turn off hot water  
supply and wait 2-3 minutes...then push the reset  
button on the linear spillage switch.  
5. Depending on model, light the pilot or run hot  
water and repeat Safety InterlockTest, (Step 1-4)  
6. Ensure back draft flapper moves freely andcloses  
properly before operating once test is complete.

Troubleshooting  
5.3 Pilot will stay lit when manually lit  
(1600P and 425PN) or will not spark  
automatically with hot water flow  
(1600H and 425HN)  
1. Check the linear safety spillage switch reset  
button to see if it is tripped (See Section 2.6).  
Overheating or loss of power to the unit will trip  
the safety spillage switch and stop the flow of  
gas.  
2. Check the entire pilot safety circuit (including the  
safety spillage switch) for loose or dirty  
connections (See Fig 8). Clean any corrosion  
evident with a pencil eraser or light sandpaper.  
3. Pilot flame is weak or dirty. Consult water heater  
installation manual for instructions on cleaning  
the pilot assembly.  
5 Troubleshooting  
5.1 Introduction  
Many of the questions customers ask regarding  
operation of this unit can be answered by following  
the troubleshooting steps outlined below. Visit our  
detailed troubleshooting. For best results, perform  
each step before proceeding to the next.  
5.2 Power vent motor runs all the time  
or intermittenly without water flow  
1. The AQ4 power vent fan motor is equipped with a  
45 second post purge cycle. The fan motor should  
continue to run for this length of time after the  
hot water flow has been shut off.  
5.4 Pilot and/or burners go out during  
hot water use  
2. The power vent motor is flow switch activated. If  
the internal paddle inside the flow switch is  
jammed, it may constantly send a signal to turn  
on the fan. Shut off water supply to heater and  
drain. Remove flow switch from water heater  
piping by removing clips on both ends. Flush  
water through both ends of flow switch to free  
up internal paddle and clear debris. After flushing,  
shake flow switch up and down. The internal  
paddle should be heard moving freely back and  
forth.  
3. Large amounts of water demand can create  
pressure drops throughout plumbing. This may  
allow for movement of the power vent flow switch  
and activate the fan. Activated sprinkler systems  
or flushed toilets are common causes for this  
symptom. Consult a plumbing professional for the  
use of check valves to prevent unintentional water  
flow through the heater.  
1. Inspect entire vent system for blockage or  
obstruction. Ensure the back draft flapper  
installed on the power vent hood swings freely.  
2. Verify power vent fan operates with water flow.  
If not, verify wire connection from flow switch to  
fan motor. Clean cold water inlet filter and verify  
flow rate through the water heater is adequate  
enough to activate the flow switch. If flow rate is  
more than 0.5 GPM, then flow switch may be  
defective and should be replaced.  
3. If heater is newly installed, verify power vent fan  
motor is not installed backwards (See Fig 4).  
4. Ensure power vent motor is mounted as close as  
possible to the VH1-4 vent hood. Mounting the  
power vent motor directly on top of or close to  
the water heater, may result in lifting flames and  
pilot outages.  
4. In buildings with excessively high water pressure,  
a condition known as “water hammer” may exist.  
This condition is caused by a combination of high  
water pressure and the abrupt closing of a faucet  
valve or internal washer/toilet valve. This instant  
change in flow results in an instant change in the  
internal pressures in the pipe, which then sends  
a shock wave through the pipe. This physical  
shock will shake, rattle or cause a loud bang in  
the plumbing which we refer to as “water  
hammer.” Such a shock wave may cause movement  
of the power vent flow switch which will activate  
the fan. Consult a plumbing professional for the  
use of a pressure reducing valve, expansion tank  
or water hammer arrestor to combat this  
condition.  
5.5 Noise when power vent motor is  
running  
1. Ensure power vent motor is mounted level with  
motor shaft horizontal or premature motor bearing  
wear may occur.  
2. Ensure power vent motor is mounted using the  
supplied vibration mounts or premature motor  
bearing wear may occur.  
3. Remove vent pipe connection from water heater  
to power vent motor. Inspect internal fan wheel  
for broken fins. If any damage is evident, order  
online or call Technical Support (800) 642-3111  
for a replacement wheel kit.

1. Use scissors to detach template. Verify external vent hood installation clearances on page 5 (Fig. 1) are adhered to. Attach  
the vent hood mounting template to the interior of the wall the vent hood will be penetrating.  
2. Verify that wall penetration will not come in contact with concealed wiring or plumbing. Using a 1/2” drill bit, drill two pilot  
holes where noted on the template. The drill bit must be long enough to penetrate to the building exterior.  
3. Attach the template to the building exterior aligning the pilot holes on the template with the pilot holes drilled in step 2.  
4. Using a reciprocating saw, cut an opening through the building siding, wall board, etc., following the lines of the template.  
5. Slide the vent hood through the opening and fasten to exterior wall using provided screws.  
6. Once power venter is completely installed and secured, apply a bead of exterior rated caulk between vent hood flange and  
exterior of building.
