Zip Autoboil may become a problem, consideration should be given to the maintenance
required. A suitable form of water treatment may be necessary.
The cold water supply to this appliance must be portable and fall within your local
authority’s guidelines.
All plumbing connections must be made in accordance with local regulations.
The Zip Autoboil instant boiling water heater is not intended for use by young children or
infirm people without supervision.
Young children should be prevented from having access to ensure that they are not able to
use or play with the heater.
If the installation site is located more than 1000 metres above sea level, the installer should
contact a Zip authorised agent for high altitude settings.
This appliance must be earthed. If the power supply cord is damaged it must be replaced
by a Zip authorised agent or a qualified electrician.
Do not remove the cover of the heater under any circumstances without first isolating the
heater from the power supply.
Do not use strong, corrosive or abrasive cleaners to clean the case of the heater.
Frost protection: If this heater is located where ambient air temperature could fall
below 5ºC when the heater is not in use, do not turn off the appliance electrically. This
safeguard does not offer the same protection to the connecting pipework and fittings.
The ambient temperatures this unit should operate with is 5ºC - 50ºC.
This heater is intended only for indoor use and should never be installed outdoors or be
exposed to the elements of nature.
This unit must not be positioned in an area that may be cleaned by a water jet. This
unit must not be cleaned by a water jet.
Before installing, ensure that the following are available:
a) Sufficient space to position the heater so there is at least 150 mm clearance above the
heater for service access, 65 mm to its left and
20 mm to its right – the tap outlet usually should be positioned at least
200 mm above a draining board or drip tray.
b) Standard local requirement power cable positioned as shown on the paper mounting
template for connection from the rear of the heater to the terminal block within the
heater, OR a standard power outlet that will adequately cater for the unit’s power needs
on the wall within 1500 mm of the heater. For units with 3.6 Kw element (25 ltr) or
multi element units (40 ltr) an isolating switch in the fixed wiring and attached to a
secure surface is required. This switch must provide all-pole disconnection and a
contact seperation of at least 3 mm installed in accordance with wiring rules.
c) Cold water supply with a minimum working pressure of 100 kPa and a maximum
working pressure of 700 kPa connected via an isolation valve.
Installation Requirements
Page 5
Zip Autoboil - Installation & Operating Instructions - 81439 - May 2012 v1.02 Page 5 of 12
d) Outlet drainage to a sink draining board or to a drip tray.
e) Access to drainage from a vent situated at the base of the heater.
If the water pressure is likely to exceed 700 kPa, a 350 kPa pressure reducing
valve must be installed in the cold water supply line.
f) In all installation instances the walls of the heater must be vertical and the
base horizontal, there can be no exceptions to this rule.
Before You Begin
Locate the paper mounting-hole template packed with the heater.
Read the installation and operating instructions completely.
Decide whether to install with concealed or exposed plumbing and/or electrical
connections. Concealed connections are preferred for superior appearance.
Step 1 – Positioning
Position the heater so the tap will drain on to a draining board or drip tray.
Position the base of the tap to be not less than 200 mm above the draining board
(height should be increased only if essential for filling larger vessels).
Provide clearance for service access of not less than 150 mm top, 65 mm left, 20
mm right.
Mark corner positions for the heater on the wall so as to position the paper
mounting-hole template.
Step 2 – Fastening
Position mounting-hole template on wall and drill holes where shown.
Drill holes for water inlet, vent outlet and wiring if rear access is intended.
Remove cover fastening screws from heater and lift whole cover off heater.
Install plumbing and wiring and prepare pipe ends and wiring ends as shown.
Screw heater chassis to the wall using screws or bolts suited to the wall.
Screws or bolts must be capable of supporting the heater weight when filled.

Step 3 – Connecting
a) Plumbing
For exposed plumbing connection, connect the cold water inlet pipe from the base
of the heater directly to the 1/2” or 12.7 mm compression fittings.
For concealed plumbing connections, connect the cold water pipe through the rear
of the chassis using a 1/2” or 12.7 mm capillary elbow (# 63 Swivel Elbows).
Cold water pipes must be flushed before connection to the inlet. Any clogging due
to sediment or fines will adversely affect the operation of the heater.
It is recommended that the heater be installed with a stop cock which allows it to
be isolated from the mains supply for servicing.
Water pressure requirements:
Minimum - 100 kPa maximum - 700 kPa.
Warning: If pressure is likely to exceed 700 kPa, a pressure limiting valve must be
installed in the cold water supply line. Zip recommends a valve rated at 350 kPa
for this application.
b) Venting
A vent at the base of the heater must be plumbed to a safe visible location as,
under certain conditions, it may discharge cold or boiling water and/or steam.
For exposed vent plumbing, connect vent outlet from the base of heater to a
1/2” or 12.7 mm pipe which has a continuous fall, is no more than 3 metres long,
has no more than 3 right angle bends, and discharges to a waste water drain.
For concealed vent plumbing, connect plumbing to the vent outlet from the heater
rear using a capillary elbow protruding 45 mm from the wall.
Alternatively attach a tun dish to the wall as shown and plumb away to waste.
c) Electrical
For concealed electrical connection, connect a power cable through the rear access
opening of the heater to the terminal block within the heater as shown.
For exposed electrical connection, run your circuit in adequately rated conduit
secured to the wall surface. Electrical access is from the rear left bottom edge of
the heater.
Do not turn the power ON until the heater is filled with water.
Step 4 – Assembling
Place the heater case back on to the heater and secure the top 2 case screws.
Secure two bottom case screws.
Fit the flow restrictor to the outlet spout of the unit by sliding it in until it’s shoulder
makes contact with the spout end. You may now fit the tap assembly.
Step 5 – Commissioning
Check previous steps. Turn water supply ON. Water is now flowing into heater,
check connections for leaks. Wait approximately 5 minutes and check outlet tap
for water. This is acheived by pulling the tap handle forward. Power is only to be
turned on when water is available from this outlet.
Turn power ON. After a short period, boiling water will be available and will be
maintained close to boiling point thereafter. Initial heating periods are shown in
the table on the left. In 25 and 40 Litre models there is a contactor fitted, when
engaging or disengaging the heating cycle you will hear the contacter “kick in”.

Tap Operation
Boiling water
Zip Autoboil is fitted with a two-way tap for filtered instant boiling water.
For instant boiling water, gently pull the top of the tap forward.
Boiling water will flow until the tap handle is released.
This operation gives fingertip flow control for safe filling of cups and mugs.
To fill larger vessels such as teapots and saucepans, rotate the tap 180
degrees and depress it until it locks into a horizontal position.
Boiling water will flow until the tap is returned to its normal vertical position.
This operation allows the vessel to be filled without holding your hand where it
may be affected by steam.
