recommended to position the urn with the tap
away from the edge of the bench in order that
small children do not reach up and accidentally
burn themselves. Before connecting the urn to
the power supply, ensure that the “ON/OFF”
switch is set to the “OFF” position and that the
thermostat knob is rotated fully in an anti-
clockwise direction to the lowest setting.
Connect the urn to a standard, single phase,
10A or 15A power point (use a standard 13A or
16A power point for international models). We
recommend that the electrical circuit supplying
the power point be protected by an approved
earth leakage device.
National Standards exist outlining the
positioning, spacing and ventilation
requirements when installing new appliances.
These Standards should be consulted and new
equipment should be installed accordingly. In
any situation where specifications allow a
distance of less than 100mm we would still
recommend that a well-ventilated air gap of not
less than 100mm be maintained. If the machine
is near particularly heat-sensitive materials
common sense should be employed in
determining sufficient distancing.
Care has been taken when designing these
machines to limit external surface temperatures.
In normal operation at 25°C the surface
temperature of the body should not exceed
60°C, due to the double-skinned design. Note
that higher temperatures will occur on the lid as
the steam vapour rises – for this reason we have
placed additional warnings on the lid.
The Urns have been designed to be as safe as
possible but, because these machines are
frequently placed in publicly accessible areas, it
is recommended that a Hazard assessment be
carried out and additional signage or protection
be placed around the machine if warranted.
Do not attach any other items to this machine,
or use contrary to what is described in this
manual.
OPERATION
These Urns are primarily intended for heating
clean pure water to a pre-set temperature &
maintaining that temperature. The Urns allow
easy dispensing of hot water into a cup for tea
or coffee. If using liquids other than pure water,
then daily cleaning is a requirement (see
Cleaning).
The urn features a special mode selector switch
that allows either variable or pre-set
temperature control.
VARIABLE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL MODE
With the mode switch set to “VARIABLE”, a
wide range of temperatures can be controlled
via the graduated knob. Variable mode will suit
those operators who require warm or boiling
water for their special applications. We do not
recommend continuous boiling as it is very
wasteful in energy.
PRESET TEMPERATURE
CONTROL MODE
Switching the mode selector to “PRESET 95°C”
will fix the temperature to about 95°C, the
optimum temperature for most applications
involving tea or coffee. Using Preset mode
offers fast and easy setup, achieving consistent
temperature every time. Note that, whilst in
Preset mode, the knob will not alter the
temperature of the water.
