Safety Instructions & Requirements

Important Information

IMPORTANT! This hot water dispenser produces instant hot water of 60oC - 98oC (temperature inside of tank) as dispensed from the faucet.

• This product is not intended to produce a continuous ow of hot water. The SPARQ H2

will produce up to 60 cups of water per hour at 60 tank). Due to high water temperature, for safety reasons, the tank is not under pressure.

Consequently, there is a slight delay of water ow aer the faucet has been turned on.

This is normal and indicates that the priming chamber is functioning properly.

Important Safety Instructions

When using all electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed

including the following:

• Read all instructions within this user guide.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord, plug, or aer the appliance

malfunctions.

• Do not use outdoors or in damp area.

• Do not expose cord to hot surfaces.

• Do not use appliance for any use other than the intended household use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

The alert symbols displayed below point to important safety information to make you aware of potential hazards that can cause serious injury or death. These symbols can be found on a label attached to the unit. Please pay special attention to the information following these alerts and warning. Failure to comply with these instructions can result in property damage, serious injury or death.

Requirements & Overview

Electrical Requirements

• For your personal safety, the hot water dispenser is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3‑prong ground plug. To minimise possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3‑prong, ground type outlet, grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• If a suitable electrical socket is not available, contact a

qualied electrician to install one.

• A 10 amp grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit service to your hot water dispenser be provided.

Pressure Free Hot Water Dispenser Concept

Unlike other household water dispensers, this dispenser tank is not pressurized for safety reasons. For a conventional

household water heater, the faucet valve is placed aer the

heater tank resulting in a pressurized tank. For a hot water dispenser, the faucet valve is placed before the tank, creating an "open vent" style faucet and consequently, no pressure is built up inside the tank.

Overview

1. Determine a convenient location to mount your faucet. Location of the hole should also provide easy access for tank connections.

2. The thickness of the mounting position must be less than 70mm thick.

3. Before connecting to the power source, the dispenser must be lled with water and the thermostat turned to the OFF position.

4. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Appliance must be within 914 mm of the power source.

5. Plumbing connections must comply with all local codes and ordinances.

6. Do not use any pipe sealing compounds as they may get inside the dispenser causing an objectionable taste and odour.

Installation

Before You Begin

• Determine where you will install your hot water dispenser. The faucet can be mounted in an existing hole in the sink, or drill a 35 mm hole in your sink or bench top.

• Stainless Steel: You need a 35 mm screw punch available at most hardware stores or drill a hole with an expandable drill. Proper tools are required to drill through a porcelain, granite or cast iron sink. If you are not familiar with this process you should consider having this done by a professional plumber.

Do not attempt to drill without these special tools as you may severely damage your sink or bench top.

Installation Instructions

1. Select Faucet Location: Choose a suitable location that is close to where the hot and ltered water will be delivered (e.g. sink).

2. Connect the Smart TeeTM: Isolate water supply. Uninstall the connections on the cold water line and connect the Smart TeeTM. Reinstall the previous connections to the tee valve.

3. Connect the Multivalve: Connect the pressure limiting multivalve to the Smart TeeTM with a piece of 1/4" Tube (White Tank Inlet Line) provided.

4. Select location for the Z1 Ultra Z Filtration System: Select suitable location that is

close to the existing tap. Remember to allow access room for changing lter and a

suitable place where water spillage will not cause damage. Location should not be in direct sunlight.

5. Install the Z1 Ultra Z Filtration System: Install Z1-R cartridge to the head assembly. Please note arrow on cartridge. Install system assembly by positioning it in the desired

location, marking the position of xing holes and xing with mounting screws (Z1 can

be mounted horizontally and vertically). Allow room for the connecting tubes and for removing the cartridge (70mm).

6. Connect the Z1 Ultra Z Filtration System: Connect the Multivalve to the KRR64 attached on the Z1‑R inlet with the 1/4" Tube (White Tank Inlet Line) provided.

7. Prepare Faucet Location: Choose the best position for the faucet, taking into consideration height of jugs etc. and also the draining of any spills. Then drill a suitable 35 mm hole to install the faucet.

WARNING: Special tools may be required to drill the hole in some sinks or

benchtops. To avoid damage, consult a qualied plumber or installer for the proper

method of drilling holes in porcelain, granite or stainless steel.

Sparq H2 User Guide

Installation

8. Install Faucet: To install faucet, place the small rubber washer, dress ring (chrome

washer) and large rubber washer onto the threaded end of the faucet. Insert the faucet into the hole in the sink or bench. Slip the large plastic washer and lock washer onto the threaded end of the faucet, screw on the nut and tighten, making sure the faucet is correctly positioned on top.

9. Mounting Tank: Position tank vertically beneath faucet so exible tube from the faucet

reaches the centre faucet supply tube on the tank. Keep the tank 10 mm away from the wall. Be sure dial is in OFF position during installation.

Note: The tank must be positioned so the hose to the faucet does not twist or kink.

10. Connect Faucet to Tank: Connect the White Tank Inlet Line hose to the rear top corner

of the tank with the quick-connect tting supplied. Connect the Beige Silicone Hot Water

Line tube to the centre outlet tube on top of the tank, using the hose cla

Note: DO NOT lengthen the hose - dispenser performance will be impaired and warranty will be void.

11. Connect Cold Water Supply: Connect the 1/4" Tube (Blue Filtered Water Line) from the

faucet, to the reducer attached on the outlet of the Z1 Ultra Filtration System.

Note: Connection to a hot water supply is not recommended. If the water lter is used,

water pressure to the tank should not drop below 240kPa.

12. Install Filter Assembly: Position the lter assembly in the desired location, marking the

position of xing holes and xing with mounting screws supplied. Allow room for the connecting tubes and for future lter changes.

13. Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.

14. Run the System: Pull the cold faucet lever down and run the system for at least 5

minutes, to remove carbon nes. Tiny air bubbles in the water may cause the water to appear milky, but will clear aer a short period.

15. Prepare the Power: Double check the thermostat control dial, on the front of the unit,

is in the OFF position. The thermostat control dial controls the water temperature, not

the water ow or delivery.

16. Test Installation: Plug electrical cord into a ground 3-prong outlet. Turn thermostat

control dial clockwise to the highest position. Maximum temperature will be reached in about 15 minutes and dispenser will be ready to use. Lower the temperature setting by turning thermostat control dial counterclockwise if you notice vapour coming from the faucet or a boiling noise. To raise or lower the water temperature, rotate the thermostat dial. At the LOW setting of thermostat dial, water temperature will be approximately 60°C and at the HIGH setting of the thermostat dial, water temperature will be approximately 98°C.

Operation, Cleaning & Maintenance

Important Information

This dispenser is equipped with a self re‑setting thermal fuse. Turn the thermostat

to OFF position and ll tank with water before plugging the power cord from the tank

into an electrical outlet. If tank is empty and the thermostat set in the ON position when the power cord is connected, the self re‑setting fuse in the heater control will

disconnect the current to the heater aer approximately one minute, thus protecting the heater from a "dry start" failure. The fuse in the heater control will self reset aer

approximately 30 minutes. Turn on the water supply to the tank and continue the installation. Continued misuse will cause damage to the appliance and is detectable thus, voiding the warranty.

6. Restore water supply.

7. Check for leaks, if any, rectify them before leaving the unit.

8. Aer installing cartridges ush unit for 5 - 10 minutes.

Troubleshooting

1. Water is not hot (assuming cold water supply is connected properly and valve is open):

This tank is capable of supplying 60 cups of hot water over an hour (approximately

2.4L), however, the volume of water that can be drawn o immediately is

approximately 1.6L.

• Check if dispenser is plugged in.

• Turn thermostat control dial fully clockwise. This may produce boiling water in approximately 15 minutes and possibly be accompanied by a gurgling sound in the tank and/or water "sputtering" from the faucet.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

• If the water boils, turn thermostat control dial slightly counterclockwise until the gurgling and/or "sputtering" stops. This should take place within 20 seconds. Turn control dial an additional 3mm counterclockwise at the tip of the dial. Wait 15 minutes and check the temperature of the water.

• Check for blown fuse or circuit breaker is tripped (also see IMPORTANT NOTE explaining the self re‑setting thermal fuse in step 12 of installation, pg. 10).

NOTE: The thermostat activates the heater aer water temperature in the tank drops

approximately 8°C from the maximum setting. The dispenser does not produce a

continuous ow of hot water.

2. Hot water drips or sputters from faucet:

• Turn thermostat control dial counterclockwise.

• Check that the hose connecting the faucet to the dispenser tank is not clogged, twisted or kinked.

• Check for proper installation of tubing from faucet to dispenser tank and faucet to water line. If cross‑connected, valve may be damaged.

3. Water does not ow right away or at all:

• Due to high temperature and for safety reasons, the tank is not under pressure causing

a slight delay in water ow.

• Make sure all valves on water supply are open.

• Check hose from faucet for twisting or tight bending.

4. Water boils or vapour appears:

• Lower temperature setting by turning thermostat control dial counterclockwise.

Note: If lowering the thermostat setting does not stop the boiling, unplug the power supply cord and contact customer service.
