The operation of the Quooker VAQ E
The Quooker system consists of a small tank under the sink which is connected to
the Nordic single tap, the Fusion or the Flex tap. The tank is vacuum-insulated
and is connected to the cold water supply via an inlet combination. Inside the
tank the water is heated electrically to approx. 110°C and is kept at this
temperature. When boiling water is drawn off, cold water flows into the tank at
the same time and is heated automatically. If the entire content of boiling water
is used in one go, the heating-up time is ca. 10 minutes (PRO3-VAQ E) to
15 minutes (PRO7-VAQ E).
Before the water leaves the tank it is purified by the HiTAC
®
water filter (High
Temperature Activated Carbon). The Nordic single tap, the Fusion and the Flex
tap are insulated and are fitted with a childproof push-and-turn handle (see ‘Tips
for use’ for instructions). The Nordic single tap is also height-adjustable.
Despite all the safety features incorporated in the product, anyone using the
Quooker system must keep in mind the risks of using boiling water in general.
Incorrect use can lead to injury. Therefore always read the manual carefully
before use.
Installation, maintenance and warranty
The Quooker can be installed in almost any location provided there is sufficient
space for the tank as well as a 13 amp socket, water supply and waste pipe.
The Quooker tank must be fitted in an upright position. If the tank is to be fitted
in a cabinet with drawers, an optional bracket can be purchased to suspend the
tank from the cabinet wall.
The HiTAC
®
filter inside the tank should be changed once every 3-5 years
depending on your water hardness. If you live in a hard water area, lime scale
will collect at the bottom of the tank and will need to be cleaned out by one of
our engineers approximately once a year depending on usage and the quality of
the water in your area. Alternatively, you can install a suitable descaling system.
This system must not reduce the pH level of the water below 7 or remove all the
minerals from the water (reverse osmosis) as this can be harmful to the tank and
would void the warranty. Suitable descaling systems are also available directly
from Quooker as an optional extra.
The warranty period is two years and covers supply of parts only. It does not
cover labour costs or issues resulting from insufficient lime scale maintenance.
