INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a boiler from the Calomax Eclipse range.
All our products are designed to give years of simple, reliable
operation. To ensure this, it is important that the installation and
subsequent servicing and maintenance is carried out by a suitably
qualified engineer in accordance with these instructions. For
assistance in finding a suitable engineer in your area, visit our
website www.calomax.co.uk, contact our service department on
0113 249 6681 or e-mail: [e-mail]

CHECK LIST counter top models

Before commencing installation, check that the following parts have
been supplied with the boiler:

1. Wall mounting bracket

This product conforms to the CE marking directive 93/68/EEC
through compliance with the following standards:

Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC in accordance with:
BS EN 60335-2-75:2004. Compliance with these standards
has been confirmed through testing by an independent NAMAS
approved body

APPROVALS

CHECK LIST wall mounted models

Before commencing installation, check that the following parts have
been supplied with the boiler:

1. WRAS approved flexible water inlet hose suitable for
potable water.

2. Drip tray kit

The tap handle and drip tray (part ref: MDTBK
where supplied) have been treated with Steritouch
additive and independently tested to prove
the effectiveness of the surface hygiene.

LOCATION

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

All metallic 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

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 floor to the draw-off tap handle of
1200mm +/- 100mm. Consideration should also be

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.

Calomax products have been tested and found
to comply with the requirements of the Water
Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999
for England and Wales Water Bylaws 2000,
Scotland and the Water Regulations Ireland.

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 on a surface or wall
suitable for the working weight of the boiler. Allow clearance for
ventilation and for the easy removal of the outer casing lid and front
panel. Calomax ltd recommend a minimum clearance of 50mm on
all sides of the boiler. A suitably qualified engineer must install this
unit. Plumbing and electrical installation work may be involved.

COLD WATER INLET

TO COMPLY WITH U.K. WATER SUPPLY

REGULATIONS A SINGLE CHECK VALVE MUST
BE FITTED. 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 using the
food grade hose where provided, or rigid 15mm pipe in a manner
which complies with UK water regulations via an appropriate
isolating valve. Always use the new hose supplied (counter-top
models only). Do not reuse old hoses. 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 fine mesh “in line” water filter is fitted in the
pipe work. Failures due to scale and sediment are not covered by
the warranty.

3 point fixing wall bracket
.for wall mounted range

Hang the boiler on the wall bracket
and secure into place with 4th fixing.
The electrical cable should be
routed as shown.
The use of 6mm Rawl-Bolts is
recommended to secure the
bracket to a wall of appropriate
construction to support the
working weight of the boiler.

ACCESS INSTRUCTIONS

Access to the internals of the machine is gained by the removal of
the front panel. Prise off the outercasing lid from its mounting clips.
remove the top two panel mounting screws, and the third bottom
mounting screw (where fitted). Remove the cover.
The 3C5C model does not have the third screw, it is fitted with two
more clips at the bottom of the panel which can be prised off.

VENT & OVERFLOW

The vent / overflow 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.15mm copper or
‘Speedfit’ pipe should be used. The drip tray kit provided with the counter
top models allow the option of plumbing the overflow pipe to discharge
into the drip tray and then plumbing the drip tray to a safe and visible
point of discharge. If the machine is operated without the overfill pipe
being extended as advised, any subsequent damage incurred will be the
responsibility of the installer.

If the boiler is required to
drip or overflow into the
drip tray, the configuration
of pipework may be altered
as follows. Remove the
machine front panel and
unclip the pipework elbow.
Carefully pull the elbow
in the direction of the
arrow, out of the silicone
connecting tube on the
end of the main water pipe.
The silicone connecting
tube will now direct water
into the drip tray.

This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance

In the event of the power supply lead to the boiler becoming damaged,
the appliance must be removed from service. A replacement genuine part
is available from Calomax Ltd, and must be fitted by a suitably qualified
engineer

Commissioning

Turn on the water supply and then switch on the electrical supply.
When the power switch is pressed on the front fascia the Wait light
will illuminate and the unit will fill with water (1.3 L/Min). When water
reaches the low water level sensor, the element will be energised and
the solenoid will continue to fill the boiler to the normal operating water
level. When the water has reached the normal operating temperature,
the Wait light will extinguish and the ready light will illuminate. At this
time the full light will be illuminated indicating that the machine has
reached full capacity of boiling water.

Subsequent Use

After the boiler has finished the commissioning cycle, and water is
drawn from the tap, water will be replenished 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

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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The boiler should be connected to a 240v ac 13A electrical supply,
capable of carrying a load of 3kW. The installation of a residual current
device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30 mA is advisable.
