INSTALLATION


  1. 1.Choose a suitable site for your machine taking into consideration its use and any heat that may be generated whilst in service. Allow a minimum of 800mm above the unit to permit steam to escape once the lid is opened.


  1. 2.Remove any protective film and packaging material and inspect for any damage which may affect the electrical safety of the heater.

  2. Green/Yellow wire to EARTH terminal of the new plug

  3. Brown wire to the LIVE (L) terminal of the new plug

  4. Blue wire to the NEUTRAL (N) terminal of the new plug


Always fit the same value fuse that was originally supplied with your heater (13 amp - brown - fuse) . Only use BS1362 approved fuses.



DO NOT PLUG IN OR SWITCH ON YET

Read the instructions below and make yourself familiar with the operation of the heater. You should be fully aware of the dangers involved in incorrect operation or cleaning, especially the risk of burns and scalds from the hot water.


We advise that this heater should not be left unattended when switched on.


The "dry pot" may be removed by sliding it to the left and then lifting upward. Reverse this procedure to fit the "dry pot" back into position. Please note that the pot is designed to work ONLY in one position within the tank i.e. clipped onto the slotted shelf at the right hand end of the main tank.



TANK FILLING, HEATING & EMPTYING


BEFORE SWITCHING ON POWER SUPPLY:

Ensure that the drainage tap is in the closed position before commencing filling.


Partially fill the tank using water not hotter than working temperature. Allow for the increase in water height once objects are introduced. Do not overfill.


The water level should be monitored during use and should always be sufficient to cover the element.


  1. 1.Switch on power supply. The digital display will flash for several seconds.


  1. 2.Press button "P" briefly. Use the "Up arrow" and "Down arrow" buttons to set the required temperature within the range 50 - 75 deg. C.


N.B. The temperature selected before last disconnecting the heater will automatically be set from the memory unless an alteration is made at this time.


After the initial heating up cycle the digital display will show the temperature of the water. A small "dot" illuminating above the word "out" (output) indicates that the unit is currently heating the water.


  1. 3.Use industrial rubber gloves when removing heated articles from the tank.


  1. 4.DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE EMPTYING


  1. 5.Put drain tap in vertical position and drain water into a bucket or soakaway.


  1. 6.Perform cleaning (see below) at  end of each session/day.
