ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
USER INSTRUCTIONS
During normal operation some external parts will become
very hot, particularly the tap body. Care must be taken to
avoid injury, a burn or scald.
Commissioning
Turn on the water supply and then switch on the electrical supply.
The Wait/Ready light will ash yellow (indicating below temperature) and
the unit will slowly ll with water (0.5 L/Min). When water passes the low
level sensor (just below tap level) the element will also be energised.
When the normal operating water level is reached the solenoid will be
disabled and the element will continue to heat the boiler until full operating
temperature has been reached. At this point the Wait/Ready light will show
solid orange indicating that the boiler is full and up to temperature.
VENT & OVERFLOW
The vent / over ow pipe must be extended and laid with a
continuous
fall
, discharging to a safe and visible point. The pipe should not be
directly connected to a closed waste, as taste problems may occur and
should never be allowed to become blocked or restricted. One way
this could be connected is via a tundish arrangement. 15mm copper or
‘Speed t’ pipe should be used.
Note
Although the machine will operate without this pipe being extended,
failure to do so will mean the surroundings and internals of the machine
are susceptible to damage from any discharge.
The installation must comply with the current I.E.E. Wiring regulations.
If in doubt consult a quali ed electrician.
This appliance must be earthed. The machine operates a nominal 3kW
element at 240v 50 Hz supply
The installation of a residual current device (RCD) having a rated
residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA is advisable.
Subsequent Use
After the boiler has nished the commissioning cycle, and water is drawn
from the tap, water will be replaced in short cycles (Small amount of water
and then heat). The solenoid and element will never be on at the same
time unless the boiler is switched off and on again (Re-setting commission
mode). In normal use the boiler will always be at operating temperature
indicated by the Wait/Ready light showing a solid (not ashing) colour.
When the boiler is full and ready the light will be orange and when the
boiler is only part full and ready the light will be yellow.
Note:
When the green service indicator light on the front of the boiler is showing
solid colour, the machine has been starved of water for in excess of 20
minutes and the solenoid valve has been disabled to prevent damage to
the solenoid coil through overheat. To re-energise the solenoid, the unit
must be disconnected from the electrical supply and then switched back
on, after rst reinstating the water supply.
The production of scale is a natural phenomenon and commonly occurs
in hot water systems. The nature of the scale produced and its rate of
formation varies widely throughout the country.
To ensure continuous, reliable operation, the boiler should be regularly de-
scaled by a suitably quali ed engineer. Suitable chemical de-scalants must
only be used if the manufacturers recommendations are strictly adhered
to. This is to prevent health and safety issues, taste problems and potential
damage to the appliance. Misuse of such chemicals is not covered by the
product warranty.
The Clipper boiler bene ts from an integral scale inhibitor,
this is not
a
scale eliminator and its effects will differ according to the water quality
in your area. To ensure trouble free operation,
periodically
check for
scale inside the boiling chamber. The production of scale is a natural
phenomenon and some de-scaling may be required within the rst 12
months. This is not covered under the products warranty as it is not a
fault.
