OPERATION
Once the installation is complete, turn the water supply on before switching on the
power. The unit is programmed to automatically operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. It is highly recommended for the user to program the timer (if the unit
supplied has one), as this will increase the life of the unit and consume less power
(see below for instructions detailing how to program the timer).
Note: On initial start-up the timer screen will display “CALIBRATING DO NOT
INTERRUPT”. The unit automatically runs through a set-up cycle to detect the
boiling point of water. This will take between 18 to 30 minutes (depending on the
unit capacity) and steam will discharge from the vent pipe for a short time. Do not
operate the tap during the set-up cycle because it may affect the unit operating
temperature.
The electronic controller constantly monitors and controls the water level and water
temperature to optimise the boiling water delivery.
INITIAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
After the unit has been installed, replace the front cover and fit the tap by wrapping
a couple of turns of Teflon tape around the thread and turning tap clockwise into the
socket on the front of the unit. If the tap is not completely tight, remove it and add
more Teflon tape then repeat the procedure. Turn on the water and check for
leaks. Turn on the power and wait twenty minutes before using.
During this period the unit will function in the following sequence.
The unit will first prime itself with water up to the tap level.
The element will then be energised and that initial amount of water will be boiled,
taking approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
The unit will then start the automatic heat and fill cycle until the tank is full.
The unit will then go into “maintenance mode” keeping the water at boiling point.
Please note: The units are factory set and are not user serviceable. If the unit
malfunctions refer to TROUBLESHOOTING for advice. If that advice fails to solve
the problem, contact your distributor or our office for further help.
