Step 4 – Assembling
Position the casing back on to the heater and secure with the two top and two
bottom Torx screws.
Tap Fitting
Caution! To ensure correct fitment of the tap assembly, follow the
instruction a to c below carefully.
Remove the black plastic cap from the hot outlet tube. PTFE tape has been
pre-applied to the hot outlet tube (check it is in good condition before
proceeding).
If not remove the damaged PTFE tape and carefully apply two to three complete
turns of new PTFE tape onto the threads in a clockwise direction as shown
alongside.
a. Screw the tap assembly clockwise on to the tap outlet tube.
b. Continue turning clockwise until the tap assembly just touches the fascia
without pressure.
c. Continue to turn the tap up to one full turn maximum until the tap lever is
in the upright position. (Do not force the tap upright; if you cannot get the
tap to the upright position without applying undue force, remove the tap,
start the thread in a new position or apply a few more turns of PTFE and
repeat the procedure.
Step 5 – Commissioning
Check previous steps. Turn water supply ON. Water is now flowing into the
heater, check all connections for leaks. Wait approximately 5 minutes and
check outlet tap for water. This is achieved by pulling the tap handle forward.
Do Not
turn on the power at this stage.
Ensure the tap handle is correctly adjusted to its optimum position.
• Screw the red knurled cap clockwise until hand tight without using
excessive force or a tool of any kind.
• Slowly unscrew the knurled cap anti-clockwise until the tap starts to drip.
• Tighten the knurled cap a half a turn clockwise. The dripping will stop and
the tap will be set at the optimum position.
When the tap has been adjusted and the unit is full of water turn the power on.
The light in the tap fascia will light to show power is on.
After a short period, boiling water will be available and will be maintained close
to boiling point thereafter. Initial heating periods are shown in the table on the left.
Tap Operation
Zip Hydroboil is fitted with a two-way tap for instant boiling water.
Care should be taken not to touch the metal body of the tap which can
become very hot.
For instant boiling water, gently pull the tap lever forward. Boiling water will
flow until the tap handle is released.
This operation gives fingertip flow control for safe filling of cups and mugs.
To fill larger vessels such as teapots and saucepans, rotate the lever 180
degrees and depress it until it locks into a horizontal position.
Boiling water will flow until the lever is returned to its normal vertical position.
This operation allows the vessel to be filled without holding your hand where it
may be affected by steam.
