Plumbing installation procedure:

•  Mains water pressure required (limits): 5-50psi (35-345kPa)
•  Fit a stop Valve on a cold water line and attach a 3/4″ BSP male fitting, (e.g. 3/4″ x 1/2″ 311 or washing machine type stop valve).
• For US versions use 3/8” NPT male fitting
•  Connect straight tailpiece of the hose to the stop valve fitting. Make sure that the pre-attached sealing washer is fitted.
•  Turn on the water to flush any impurities, dust etc from the inlet hose and water pipe. Allow several gallons through.
•  Connect right-angled tailpiece of the hose to the inlet valve of the boiler (again 3/4″ BSP).
• Make sure the sealing washer is fitted here also.
•  Turn on water and check for leaks.
•  If the overflow vent is plumbed it must be plumbed with a tundish device.
•  This equipment must be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with all applicable federal, state and local codes.

Operating boiler for the first time:

•  Check that all installation procedures have been carried out.
•  Ensure water valve is on.
•  Plug boiler appropriate electrical supply and press power button on the front of the machine marked ‘Power’. Refer to Figure 1.
•  The “power on” light will glow green and the machine will fill to a safe level, above the elements, before heating.
•  The “Ready/Status” light will cycle two red flashes while the machine is filling to the safe level.
•  After this amount of water has heated to about 95ºC the boiler will draw more water in until the temperature drops by 1 or 2 degrees. The boiler will then heat again. This heat fill cycle continues until the boiler is full.
•  Whilst the machine is above the safe level and filling, the “Ready/Status” light will remain blank.
•  The “Ready/Status” light will glow green when the machine is both full and up to normal operating temperature.
•  The boiler is now ready for use.

ECO Mode Operation (10L machines only):

•  All ECO Boilers use high grade insulation and it is applied to give a significant energy usage improvement over a standard water boiler.
•  All under counters incorporate a ½ tank ‘ECO mode’ function.
•  To enable the ‘ECO Mode’ press the button located below the ‘Ready’ indicator so that the leaf symbol illuminates green.
•  This mode saves energy by minimising the energy wasted during machine down-time.
•  NOTE: The ECO mode is most effective in installations where the machine has a regular ‘off’ period.
•  To achieve the most benefit from the energy saving ‘ECO Mode’ on your ECO boiler unit (10L variants only), the following method should be employed:
• Towards the end of the boilers operating period for a given day, switch the machine to
• ECO Mode. Whilst maintaining water at 95 , the machine tank will slowly drop to half full, where it will remain.
•  At the end of the machines operating period it should the be turned ‘off’.
•  During the ‘off’ period as there is less water in the tank there will be less energy lost to the surrounding environment resulting in an energy saving.
•  To disable simply press the ‘ECO Mode’ button again so that the leaf symbol is not illuminated

EcoSmart Features (ECOSMART MACHINES ONLY)

The EcoSmart Ecoboiler has many settable features which gives the operator great flexibility in choosing how the unit will operate. The following explains how the various features may be changed and their function. There are two Menus in the EcoSmart Boiler One is to set the USER SETUP and One is to set the SERVICE SETUP parameter.

Modes of Operations [Service setup setting 5 ]: Modes of OPERATION – This boiler can operate in 3 different modes.

HEAT FILL

Standard operation the boiler will take in water until th  temperature in the tank drops, the inlet will close and the heating element isactivated. When the temperature reaches the set temperature the inlet will reopen to take in more water. This cycle will continue until the Tank is Full.This mode is used to ensure that the water temperature is controlled within set values.

CONTINUOUS MODE

In this mode, the boiler will take in water and activate the element until the tank is full and the temperature has reached the set temperature. Typically used in high-demand situations where the temperature stability is not a primary concern. COOL Mode –In this mode, the temperature can be adjusted up or down [function 1.] while in operation. Depending on the water level in the tank selecting a lower temperature will cause either a message to “DISPENSE WATER TO COOL THE TANK” or will automatically take in cooler water to reduce the temperature to the new set temperature. In applications where selecting different temperatures frequently is required this Cool Mode is best selected. Note in the Cool Mode will cause the 10L boiler to operate as a 5L boiler and cause the 4L boiler to operate at 2L.

MANUAL FILL

if the boiler is not plumbed into a water supply the operator must select Manual Fill mode for best operation of the boiler. In this mode the water is added manually by the operator

ECO Mode Operation

• Note In the COOL FILL mode [see Service setup setting 5] the ECO Mode is automatically selected.
•  All ECO Boilers use high-grade insulation and it is applied to give a significant energy usage improvement over a standard water boiler.
•  The under-counter range incorporates a ½ tank ‘ECO mode’ function.
•  To enable the ‘ECO Mode’ press the button located below the ‘Ready’ indicator so that the leaf symbol illuminates green.
•  This mode saves energy by minimizing the energy wasted during machine downtime.
•  NOTE: The ECO mode is most effective in installations where the machine has a regular ‘off’ period.
•  To achieve the most benefit from the energy-saving ‘ECO Mode’ on your ECO boiler unit (10L variants only), the following method should be employed:
•  Towards the end of the boiler operating period for a given day, switch the machine to ECO Mode. Whilst maintaining water at 96oC, the machine tank will slowly drop to half full, where it will remain.
•  At the end of the machine operating period it should the be turned ‘off’.
•  During the ‘off’ period as there is less water in the tank there will be less energy lost to the surrounding environment resulting in an energy-saving.
•  To disable simply press the ‘ECO Mode’ button again so that the leaf symbol is not illuminated

TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE

This machine has been designed to give many years of trouble free service. The only regular maintenance required is occasional de-scaling.

Descaling Procedure:

•  Isolate machine from power supply.
•  Isolate machine from water supply.
•  ALLOW TO COOL COMPLETELY!
•  Drain water from machine.
•  Remove all lids.
•  Remove as much scale as possible by hand, paying particular attention to level probes (White plastic with steel tab). Be very careful not to damage any attachments.
•  Use ScaleKleen, Marco part No. 8000270 or similar. Follow instructions carefully.
•  Thoroughly clean and flush the machine before re-use.
•  Follow installation and first time operation instructions.

ACCESS TO INTERNAL COMPONENTS

•  Disconnect the machine from the electrical supply.
•  Allow to cool sufficiently.
•  On the 10L machine insert a flat headed screwdriver at the four locations indicated on the picture above and rotate. Note: – There is no need to ‘lever’ the screwdriver – a small rotation is all that is required.
•  In the case of the 4L machine remove the 4 screws on the service panel located on the right hand side.
•  Place the panel to the side of the machine. This allows access to most of the internal components and the machine does not need to be drained for most maintenance or service operations.
•  The Tank can be drained by removing the plug from the end of the drain hose, and draining into an external drain or a large enough container.

FONT INSTALLATION:

The font is connected to the machine by a silicone hose and a control wire. The button on the font triggers the pump in either push and hold or push and release mode. Please refer to separate calibration instruction for setting of these modes. The calibration should only be conducted by a trained service engineer. The font’s silicone hose should be connected to the boiler hose adapter and secured with the supplied hose clip. The Boiler ideally should be positioned directly below the font installed position. To help prevent heat loss between the tank and the dispense font, the silicone hose should be insulated with the supplied hose insulation. Simply cut the insulation to the correct length required.

Standard Font Connection

NSF Approved Font Connection In order to comply with NSF 4 requirements, when installing an NSF listed undercounter boiler with an NSF listed Uber Font, The Vent pipe on the boiler MUST be connected to the Font Vent hose (grey coloured hose).

CLEANING

The exterior of these machines may be cleaned with a damp cloth and a light detergent. Do not use abrasive cloths or creams, as this will spoil the finish of the machine. Do not use a water jet or spray. NB: Beware of accidentally operating the draw off tap or push button when cleaning the front of the machine.

LIMESCALE

In common with all water boiler manufacturers, service calls resulting from lime scale are not covered by warranty. Fitting a scale reducer is recommended, especially in hard water areas. This can reduce the build-up of scale but may not stop it altogether. The frequency that descaling is required depends on the local water supply; hard water areas need more attention. Descaling of the machine should ideally be carried out by qualified service personnel.
