Special notices

These instructions should guide you through the fitting of the Zip Varipoint II,
however if you encounter a problem, just call 0870 608 8888 and ask for
Service Helpdesk.

The Zip Varipoint is an unvented water heater designed for connection 
directly to the incoming mains water supply and can serve one or more 
outlets using conventional taps.

Care should be taken that the capacity of the unit chosen is sufficient to 
meet the demands of the outlets being supplied.

The casing is constructed from impact resistant plastic and heat losses 
are minimised by the CFC free polyurethane foam insulation. 

The inner vessel is heavy gauge copper and pressure tested to 16 Bar

An alloy sheathed heating element provides longer life in aggressive water 
conditions.

A manually resettable safety cut-out automatically cuts off the electrical 
supply to the heating element in the event of a malfunction.

If the hot-water system is not used for two weeks or more,
it is recommended that a hot  tap be turned on for several
minutes at a sink, basin or bath, but not at a dishwasher,
clothes washer or other appliance.
