Special notices
These instructions should guide you through the fitting of the Zip Varipoint II,
however if you encounter a problem, just call 0870 608 8888 and ask for
Service Helpdesk.
■ The Zip Varipoint is an unvented water heater designed for connection
directly to the incoming mains water supply and can serve one or more
outlets using conventional taps.
■ Care should be taken that the capacity of the unit chosen is sufficient to
meet the demands of the outlets being supplied.
■ The casing is constructed from impact resistant plastic and heat losses
are minimised by the CFC free polyurethane foam insulation.
■ The inner vessel is heavy gauge copper and pressure tested to 16 Bar
■ An alloy sheathed heating element provides longer life in aggressive water
conditions.
■ A manually resettable safety cut-out automatically cuts off the electrical
supply to the heating element in the event of a malfunction.
If the hot-water system is not used for two weeks or more,
it is recommended that a hot tap be turned on for several
minutes at a sink, basin or bath, but not at a dishwasher,
clothes washer or other appliance.
