The operation of the Quooker COMBI E
The Quooker COMBI E supplies boiling water and hot water. The tank is vacuum-
insulated and is connected to the cold water supply via an inlet combination
valve. Inside the tank the water is heated electrically to approx. 110°C and is
kept at this temperature. When boiling water is drawn off, cold water flows into
the tank at the same time and is heated automatically. If the entire content of
boiling water is used in one go, the heating time is ca. 20 min. Before the water
leaves the tank it is purified by the HiTAC
®
water filter (High Temperature
Activated Carbon). To extend the life of the filter, the water used for mixing
the hot water is not filtered.
In addition to boiling water, the COMBI E also supplies instant hot water.
The Quooker COMBI E supplies hot water by mixing boiling water from the
Quooker tank with cold water from the water mains inside the mixing valve.
A thermostatic control element inside the valve keeps the outgoing water
temperature constant. This temperature can be set between 40°C and 60°C
with the grey knob on the mixing valve. The mixing valve is suitably protected
against a loss in water pressure, preventing any boiling water from flowing out
of the mixer tap.
The grooved handle on the tap lights up when the water is running to warn the
user that the water is boiling. As an additional safety feature, the Nordic single
tap is height-adjustable and the Nordic single tap, the Fusion tap and the Flex
tap are fully insulated.
Despite all the safety features incorporated in the product, anyone using the
Quooker system must keep in mind the risks of using boiling water in general.
Incorrect use can lead to injury. Therefore always read the manual carefully
before use.
Installation, maintenance and warranty
The Quooker can be installed in almost any location provided there is sufficient
space for the tank as well as a 13 amp socket, water supply and waste pipe.
The Quooker tank must be fitted in an upright position. If the tank is to be fitted
in a cabinet with drawers, an optional bracket can be purchased to suspend the
tank from the cabinet wall.
The HiTAC
®
filter inside the tank should be changed once every 3-5 years
depending on your water hardness. If you live in a hard water area, lime scale
will collect at the bottom of the tank and will need to be cleaned out by one of
our engineers approximately once a year depending on usage and the quality of
the water in your area. Alternatively, you can install a suitable descaling system.
This system must not reduce the pH level of the water below 7 or remove all the
minerals from the water (reverse osmosis) as this can be harmful to the tank and
would void the warranty. Suitable descaling systems are also available directly
from Quooker as an optional extra.
The warranty period is two years and covers supply of parts only. It does not
cover labour costs or issues resulting from insufficient lime scale maintenance.
