Zip Hydroboil Plus- Installation & Operating Instructions - 82869 - May 2003
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
top under the plastic paddle. This can be achieved by inserting the probe up
from behind the paddle without losing water.
Warning-
the water may be boiling - show extra care.
5. Test that in every instance the electrical resistance does not exceed 1 ohm.
Tap Operation
Boiling water
Zip Hydroboil Plus is fitted with a two-way cool-touch safety tap for filtered
instant boiling water.
For filtered instant boiling water, gently press the lower end of the tap paddle
inwards.
Boiling water will flow until the tap paddle is released.
This operation gives fingertip flow control for safe filling of cups and mugs.
For filtered instant boiling water to fill larger vessels such as teapots and
saucepans, lift the tap paddle until it locks into a horizontal position.
Boiling water will flow until the paddle 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.
Drinking water
Zip Hydroboil Plus is also fitted with a chrome plated push button tap for
filtered drinking water.
For filtered drinking water, press the push button inwards. Filtered ambient
temperature water will flow until the button is released.
Filtered water dispensed by the Zip Hydroboil should be stored chilled as the
process of filtration removes chlorine from the water supply.
