SCALE
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 qualified engineer.
The Eclipse boiler benefits 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. De-scaling may be required within
the first 12 months. This is not covered under the product’s warranty
as it is not a fault. Further information on scale, including a postcode
search facility for water hardness in your area can be found under the
‘Water Filter Advice’ section on our website.
SUBSEQUENT USE
After the boiler has finished the commissioning cycle and water is
drawn from the tap, water will be replenished in short cycles (small
volume 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 ‘Ready’ light being
illuminated. The ‘Full’ light will be illuminated only when the boiler is
full of boiling water. By pressing the ‘ ’ symbol on the upper fascia
panel, the ‘Eco’ feature is selected. This feature reduces the working
capacity of the appliance by approximately half. The ‘Full’ light will be
disabled.
CLEANING
Avoid using any abrasive materials. Wiping the outer casing
with a damp cloth should be sufficient. Some stainless
steel cleaning products may not be suitable for plastic
and must not come in contact with the plastic fascia parts.
Always disconnect the electrical supply before cleaning.
NEVER USE A SPRAY JET OR ANY OTHER METHOD WHICH
COULD CAUSE WATER TO ENTER THE ELECTRICAL CHAMBER.
