LAZER BOILING WATER UNIT INSTALLATION AND OWNERS GUIDE
Thank you for choosing our Lazer Boiling Water Unit. Please take a few minutes to read this booklet because it contains important information about the correct installation and operation of your Lazer unit.
C. MINIMUM CLEARANCES
For ventilation reasons, all units require a minimum clearance of 50mm on all sides. For ease of servicing (where there is sufficient space) we recommend 300mm clearance from the top of all units.
For
element replacement reasons we recommend clearance of 150mm from the right hand side of 3 to 10 litre units and 300mm from the left hand side of the 15 to 40 litre units.
1. WARNING:
This Lazer unit produces boiling water (third degree burns may occur) and care should be taken at all times when using it. This unit is not intended for use by infirm persons and young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the unit.
D. MOUNTING
The Lazer when installed is suspended from mounting screws located into keyhole slots at the back of the unit (refer to the Mounting Dimension Specification on page 6).
2. WATER QUALITY
Caution is suggested if the Boiling Water Unit is to be connected to a water supply with a high content of silica or calcium. Water supplies of this nature may be detrimental to the unit’s operation and may cause the warranty to become void. For further information relating to the guidelines of water quality, contact your local Rheem office for advice.
Be sure that the mounting screws are securely inserted into the keyhole slots. The screws MUST be anchored in such a way, that they will hold the weight of the unit when filled with water, (refer to the specification table on page 5).
WARNING:
Before drilling into the wall make sure that the screw positions avoid any pipe- work or electrical cables. Allow 4 mm clearance between the screw head and the wall for locating the unit.
3. INSTALLATION
This boiling water unit shall be inst alled by a qualified service person. The installation must comply with AS/NZS
3500.4 and all relevant statutory and local body requirements of the state in which the Boiling Water Unit is installed.
E. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
Cold mains pressure water (refer to specification table on page 5 for minimum water pressures) must be piped and connected to the ½” BSP inlet fitting located on the left hand side underneath the unit. An accessible isolating valve must be installed near the unit.
A. LOCATION
This unit is designed for interior installation only.
B. OPENING THE UNIT
This unit contains an inlet strainer on the water inlet connection (refer to figure 1). To ensure continuing satisfactory operation, it is suggested that the inlet strainer be serviced every six months by a qualified service person. Where poor water quality is present it is recommended to install an additional auxiliary filter.
To remove the jacket from models 3, 5,
7.5 & 10 L remove the 4 retaining screws at the top and bottom and pull the jacket forward. For models 15, 25 and 40 L unscrew the lid at the top and service plate on the left hand side.
3.
For rear entry connection on 3-10 Litre models, we recommend that you use a braided flexible hose with a 90° elbow for ease of connection.
F. OVERFLOW / VENT CONNECTION IMPORTANCE
Connect a 15 mm (½”) pipe to the overflow/vent connection (½”BSP nipple). This pipe is to be made of a material such that continuous steam will not degrade it (i.e. copper). This pipe must have a continuous fall, not exceeding 3 metres in length and / or contain no more than 4 bends ( refe r to figure 2).
Figure 1: Water Connection
If the site situation requires a pipe length exceeding 3 metres, then discharge the overflow/drain into a tundish. The drain pipe work must not exert a pressure of more than 1 metre of head on the Lazer boiling unit (refer to figure 2).
During normal operation of the Lazer, the overflow/vent connection may discharge small quantities of steam and condensate, so it is ESSENTIAL that the drain pipe is attached to the overflow vent connection. This drain pipe must discharge to waste at a point where no scald injury, nuisance n or inconvenience is caused to people in the immediate vicinity.
WARNINGS:
Ensure the overflow/vent line remains open because the Lazer’s tank is not designed to be pressurised. Where freezing may occur, protect the pipes and install an air break. It is recommended to install an air break in the overflow/vent drain line, no more than 300 mm from the Lazer unit. Also it is important to connect the overflow/vent and water inlet correctly. Incorrect connection of pipe work may damage the unit.
G. DRAIN
WARNING:
Before drainin g the unit, ensure t he appliance has been switched off, and water is not hot enough to scald.
To drain 3-10L models, turn unit off and open tap until no water flows out. Remove unit from wall and tip over with tap open until unit is empty. For 15-40L units. A drain plug is accessible from the bottom of the unit (note switch unit off before draining)
IMPORTANT
Installation and maintenance of the Lazer Boiling Water
unit shall be carried out by a qualified service person.

H. TAP OUTLET
4. OPERATION
To prevent damage during transport the tap is wrapped and placed inside the carton.
When the installation is complete, first turn on the water supply before switching on the power. The unit is programmed to automatically operate 24 hours a day, 7 da ys a week. It is highly recommended for the user to program the timer (if the unit supplied has one), as this will increase the life of the unit,
The tap is connected to the tap extension by a chrome-plated nut and tightened using a 29 mm AF spanner.
J. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
WARNING:
If this boiling water unit is to be installed in a newly constructed building, ensure that all electrical tests including insulation tests have been performed prior to plugging in and switching on your new Boiling Water Unit. Failure to do so could damage the electronics.
and consume less power (see Section 5 for how to program the timer). The electronic controller constantly monitors and controls the water level and water temperature to optimise the boiling wate delivery.
