The operation of the Quooker COMBI
The Quooker COMBI supplies boiling water via the Quooker tap and warm water
via the existing mixer tap. The system is delivered complete with a tank, inlet
combination, mixing valve and boiling water tap. The tank is vacuum-insulated
and connected to the cold water supply via the inlet combination. Inside the tank
the water is heated electrically to approx. 110°C and is kept at this temperature.
When water is drawn off, cold water flows into the tank at the same time and is
automatically heated. If the entire content is used in one go the heating time is
ca. 15 min (COMBI 3.0) to 20 min (COMBI 2.2). The Quooker COMBI supplies
warm water by mixing boiling water from the Quooker tank with cold water from
the water mains inside the mixing valve. A thermostatic control element inside the
valve keeps the outgoing water temperature constant. This temperature can be
set between 50°C and 65°C with the grey knob on the mixing valve. The mixing
valve is suitably protected against a loss in water pressure, preventing any boiling
water from flowing out of the mixer tap. Before the boiling water leaves the tank
it is purified by the HiTAC
®
water filter (High Temperature Activated Carbon).
To extend the life of the filter, the water used for mixing the warm water is not
filtered. All Quooker taps are fitted with a childproof push-and-turn handle and
are also height adjustable and insulated.
Installation, maintenance and warranty
The Quooker can be installed wherever there is a water supply and a socket.
Bear in mind that the tank must remain accessible for servicing. The Quooker
comes with a handy installation kit for easy fitting, and is maintenance-free.
The HiTAC
®
filter cartridge has to be replaced about once every five years, when
any lime scale that has built is also removed from the tank. In hard water areas
servicing may be carried out more frequently. The warranty period is two years
and covers supply of parts only. This does not include labour costs.
Please note, that under no circumstances should the Quooker be connected to
a descaling system that reduces the pH level of the water as this will void the
warranty.
