Page 6 Page 7ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONSUSER INSTRUCTIONSDuring normal operation some external parts will becomevery hot, particularly the tap body. Care must be taken toavoid injury, a burn or scald.CommissioningTurn on the water supply and then switch on the electrical supply.The Wait/Ready light will Àash yellow (indicating below temperature) andthe unit will slowly ¿ll with water (0.5 L/Min). When water passes the lowlevel sensor (just below tap level) the element will also be energised.When the normal operating water level is reached the solenoid will bedisabled and the element will continue to heat the boiler until full operatingtemperature has been reached. At this point the Wait/Ready light will showsolid orange indicating that the boiler is full and up to temperature.VENT & OVERFLOWThe vent / overÀow pipe must be extended and laid with acontinuousfall, discharging to a safe and visible point. The pipe should not bedirectly connected to a closed waste, as taste problems may occur andshould never be allowed to become blocked or restricted. One waythis could be connected is via a tundish arrangement. 15mm copper or‘Speed¿t’ pipe should be used.NoteAlthough the machine will operate without this pipe being extended,failure to do so will mean the surroundings and internals of the machineare susceptible to damage from any discharge.The installation must comply with the current I.E.E. Wiring regulations.If in doubt consult a quali¿ed electrician.This appliance must be earthed. The machine operates a nominal 3kWelement at 240v 50 Hz supplyThe installation of a residual current device (RCD) having a ratedresidual operating current not exceeding 30 mA is advisable.Subsequent UseAfter the boiler has ¿nished the commissioning cycle, and water is drawnfrom the tap, water will be replaced in short cycles (Small amount of waterand then heat). The solenoid and element will never be on at the sametime unless the boiler is switched off and on again (Re-setting commissionmode). In normal use the boiler will always be at operating temperatureindicated by the Wait/Ready light showing a solid (not Àashing) colour.When the boiler is full and ready the light will be orange and when theboiler is only part full and ready the light will be yellow.Note:When the green service indicator light on the front of the boiler is showingsolid colour, the machine has been starved of water for in excess of 20minutes and the solenoid valve has been disabled to prevent damage tothe solenoid coil through overheat. To re-energise the solenoid, the unitmust be disconnected from the electrical supply and then switched backon, after ¿rst reinstating the water supply.The production of scale is a natural phenomenon and commonly occursin hot water systems. The nature of the scale produced and its rate offormation varies widely throughout the country.To ensure continuous, reliable operation, the boiler should be regularly de-scaled by a suitably quali¿ed engineer. Suitable chemical de-scalants mustonly be used if the manufacturers recommendations are strictly adheredto. This is to prevent health and safety issues, taste problems and potentialdamage to the appliance. Misuse of such chemicals is not covered by theproduct warranty.The Clipper boiler bene¿ts from an integral scale inhibitor, this is not ascale eliminator and its effects will differ according to the water qualityin your area. To ensure trouble free operation, periodically check forscale inside the boiling chamber. The production of scale is a naturalphenomenon and some de-scaling may be required within the ¿rst 12months. This is not covered under the products warranty as it is not afault.SCALE
