Defender Safety System Gas Water Heater - Natural Gas

• Bradford White® ICON System™: Intelligent gas control with proven millivolt powered technology and built-in piezo igniter off the shelf thermopile converts heat energy from the pilot flame into electrical energy to operate the gas valve and microprocessor, no need for external electricity
• Enhanced performance: Proprietary algorithms provide enhanced first hour delivery rating and tighter temperature differentials
• Advanced temperature control system: Microprocessor constantly monitors and controls burner operation to maintain consistent and accurate water temperature levels
• Intelligent diagnostics: An exclusive green led light prompts the installer during start-up and provides ten different diagnostic codes to assist in troubleshooting
• Pilot on indication: Flashing green led provides positive indication that pilot is on
• Separate immersed thermowell: High strength advanced polymer composite thermowell provides isolation between electric temperature sensor and surrounding water, no need to drain the tank when removing gas valve
• Advanced ScreenLok® technology flame arrester design: Flame arrester is designed to prevent ignition of flammable vapor outside of the water heater
• Resettable thermal switch: Proven and reliable bimetallic switch prevents burner and pilot operation in case of ongoing flammable vapors burning inside of the combustion chamber or restricted air flow
• Maintenance free: No regular cleaning of air inlet openings or flame arrester is required under normal conditions
• Sight window: Offers a view into the combustion chamber to observe the operation of the pilot and burner
