INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Calomax Clipper 2 range boiler. All our
products are designed to give years of simple, reliable operation. To
ensure this, it is important that the installation and subsequent servicing
is carried out by a suitably qualied engineer in accordance with these
instructions.

For assistance in nding a suitable engineer in your area, visit our website
www.calomax.co.uk, contact our service department on 0113 249 6681 or

LOCATION

COLD WATER INLET

INSTALLATION

All metalic components of the machine, in direct contact with
drinking water are manufactured from high quality 304 grade
stainless steel, or non ferrous materials, providing maximum
resistance to corrosion.

CONSTRUCTION

The boiler must be installed in a location where access is
restricted to operators that are suitably trained, or where
untrained operators of the machine can be supervised by trained
personnel.

To comply with recommendations
from the health and safety executive
it is important that due consideration
be given to safe operation of the
controls of the boiler. The boiler
should therefore be mounted in
such a manner that the operator can
stand directly facing the machine
with the controls at a recommended
height from the oor to the draw-off
tap handle of 1200mm +/- 100mm.
Consideration should also be given

to the servicing requirements of the machine. The maximum and
minimum ambient operating conditions must be between 5 °C
and 35 °C. The appliance is not suitable for installation where
a water jet could be used. Install the boiler in a position having
adequate ventilation, on a wall capable of carrying the working
weight of the boiler. A suitably qualied engineer must install this
unit. Plumbing and electrical installation work is involved.

To comply with the U.K. Water Supply Regulation a single check­valve must be tted to the supply. BEFORE CONNECTING, THE
SUPPLY PIPE MUST BE THOROUGHLY FLUSHED OUT TO
ENSURE THAT FOREIGN MATTER DOES NOT BLOCK OR
ENTER THE SOLENOID VALVE

The boiler must be connected to a potable water supply, in a
manner which complies with UK water regulations. The boiler
should be connected to a ½” (15mm) drinking water supply via an
appropriate isolating valve. The supply must provide a constant
pressure of between 20 KPa and 1000 KPa (0.2 to 10 Bar).
If the water supply contains excessive solids in suspension it is
recommended that a ne mesh “in line” water lter is tted in the
pipe work. Failures due to scale and sediment are not covered by
the warranty.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

USER INSTRUCTIONS

During normal operation some external parts will become
very hot, particularly the tap body. Care must be taken to
avoid injury, a burn or scald.

Commissioning

Turn on the water supply and then switch on the electrical supply.

The Wait/Ready light will ash yellow (indicating below temperature) and
the unit will slowly ll with water (0.5 L/Min).

When water passes the low
level sensor (just below tap level) the element will also be energised.
When the normal operating water level is reached the solenoid will be
disabled and the element will continue to heat the boiler until full operating
temperature has been reached. At this point the Wait/Ready light will show
solid orange indicating that the boiler is full and up to temperature.

VENT & OVERFLOW

The vent / overow pipe must be extended and laid with a

continuous

fall,

discharging to a safe and visible point. The pipe should not be
directly connected to a closed waste, as taste problems may occur and
should never be allowed to become blocked or restricted. One way
this could be connected is via a tundish arrangement. 15mm copper or
‘Speedt’ pipe should be used.

Note

Although the machine will operate without this pipe being extended,
failure to do so will mean the surroundings and internals of the machine
are 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 electrici

an.
This appliance must be earthed. The machine operates a nominal 3kW
element at 240v 50 Hz supply

The installation of a residual current device (RCD) having a rated

residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA is advisable.

Subsequent Use

After the boiler has nished the commissioning cycle, and water is drawn
from the tap, water will be replaced in short cycles (Small amount of water
and then heat). The solenoid and element will never be on at the same
time unless the boiler is switched off and on again (Re-setting commission
mode). In normal use the boiler will always be at operating temperature
indicated by the Wait/Ready light showing a solid (not ashing) colour.
When the boiler is full and ready the light will be orange and when the
boiler 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 showing
solid colour, the machine has been starved of water for in excess of 20
minutes and the solenoid valve has been disabled to prevent damage to
the solenoid coil through overheat. To re-energise the solenoid, the unit
must be disconnected from the electrical supply and then switched back
on, after rst reinstating the water supply.

The production of scale is a natural phenomenon and commonly occurs
in hot water systems. The nature of the scale produced and its rate of
formation varies widely throughout the country.
To ensure continuous, reliable operation, the boiler should be regularly de­scaled by a suitably qualied engineer. Suitable chemical de-scalants must
only be used if the manufacturers recommendations are strictly adhered
to. This is to prevent health and safety issues, taste problems and potential
damage to the appliance. Misuse of such chemicals is not covered by the
product warranty.

The Clipper boiler benets from an integral scale inhibitor, this is not a
scale eliminator and its effects will differ according to the water quality
in your area. To ensure trouble free operation

, periodically check for

scale inside the boiling chamber. The production of scale is a natural
phenomenon and some de-scaling may be required within the rst 12
months. This is not covered under the products warranty as it is not a
fault.
