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 50°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 to warn the user that the water is
boiling. As an additional safety feature, the Nordic boiling-water tap is height-
adustable and both the Nordic boiling-water tap and the Fusion 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.
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 should be changed once every five years. 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.
