Read These Warnings First
Please read all installation requirements, installation procedures and
precautions before installing any Zip Hydroboil Plus instant boiling water heater.
Never attempt to install any Zip Hydroboil Plus instant boiling water heater
without reading all of the applicable instructions.
In some hard water areas where mineral scale accumulation in the boiling
chamber of the Zip Hydroboil Plus may become a problem, consideration
should be given to the maintenance required. A suitable form of water
treatment may be necessary.
In areas where the water supply is known to have high sediment levels,
installation of a Zip Hydroboil Plus model equipped with sub-micron filtration is
not recommended. A model equipped with five micron filtration should perform
more satisfactorily.
All plumbing connections must be made in accordance with UK Water
Authorities.
The Zip Hydroboil Plus instant boiling water heater is not intended for use by
young children or infirm people without supervision.
Young children should be prevented from having access to ensure that they are
not able to use or play with the heater.
If the installation site is located more than 1000 metres above sea level, the
installer should contact Zip for high altitude settings.
This appliance must be earthed. If the power supply cord is damaged it must
be replaced by a Zip Service Provider or a qualified electrician.
Do not remove the cover of the heater under any circumstances without first
isolating the heater from the power supply.
Do not use strong, corrosive or abrasive cleaners to clean the case of the
heater.
Before installing, ensure that the following are available:
a) Sufficient space to position the heater so there is at least 150 mm
clearance above the heater for service access,65 mm to its left and
20 mm to its right – the tap outlet usually should be positioned at least
200 mm above a draining board or drip tray.
b) Standard 13 amp fused spur power outlet positioned as shown on the
paper mounting template for connection from the rear of the heater to the
terminal block within the heater, OR a standard 13 amp double pole fused
spur power outlet on the wall within 1500 mm of the heater.
c) Cold water supply with a minimum working pressure of 1 bar (100 kPa)
and a maximum working pressure of 7 bar (700 kPa) connected via an
isolation valve.
d) Outlet drainage to a sink draining board or to a drip tray.
e) Access to drainage from a vent situated at the base of the heater.
If the water pressure is likely to exceed 7 bar (700 kPa), a 3.5 bar
(350 kPa) pressure reducing valve must be installed in the cold water
supply line.
