Operating Procedures
Handle rotates
180º for locked
down positions
and must
be manually
returned.
Pull handle
down for
water flow
than release.
Tap Operation
Birko Tempo Tronic is fitted with a two-way safety tap for instant
boiling water.
For instant boiling water, gently pull the top of the tap 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 tap 180
degrees and pull down until it locks into a horizontal position.
Boiling water will flow until the tap 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.
Earthing Continuity Verification
Warning: this appliance must be earthed.
Following remedial service the earthing continuity of the heater must
be checked by a qualified technician using an appliance tester, or
continuity tester of accuracy Class 5 or better. Class 5 denotes an
accuracy of 5% full scale deflection.
1. Isolate power supply.
2. Set meter to 0 ohm with leads connected together.
3. Connect one test lead to the earth pin on the three pin plug.
4. Connect the other test lead to a bare patch of metal (preferably on
the edge) of the top of the cover, then to the front cover of the unit,
and then to the tap.
Warning-
the water may be boiling - show extra care.
5. Test that in every instance the electrical resistance does not exceed
1 ohm.
If required, an earth continuity
test can be performed by
testing between the earth pin
on the products lead and a
exposed piece of metal on the
case.
