Installation g ide PRO3-VAQ B
Before installing read this guide first

The operation of the Quooker VAQ B
The Quooker system consists of a vacuum-insulated tank, which is connected to
the cold water supply under the sink and to the Nordic boiling-water tap or
Fusion tap. Both boiling water and mixed water can be drawn off from the
Fusion tap.
Inside the tank the water is heated electrically to approx. 110°C and is kept at
this temperature. The Quooker PRO3-VAQ B has a capacity of 3 litres. Before
the water leaves the tank it is purified by the HiTAC®water filter. (High
Temperature Activated Carbon)
The Nordic boiling-water tap and the Fusion tap are fitted with a childproof
push-and-turn handle (see ‘Tips for use‘), which is clearly recognisable by its
industrial ribbing. When the tap handle is touched the underside lights up red
to alert the user that it is a boiling-water tap. The Nordic boiling-water tap is
height adjustable to guarantee safe use. Both it and the Fusion tap are well
insulated. Despite all the safety precautions incorporated in the product, users
of the Quooker system must bear in mind the general hazards inherent in the
use of boiling water. Never allow children to use the water tap unsupervised and
refer people who are unfamiliar with the device to the usage instructions.
Installation, maintenance and warranty
Installing the Quooker requires connections to the water supply pipe and the
electrical system. The Quooker is supplied with a handy connection kit
(including the required Quooker inlet valve) for simple installation. For optimally
purified Quooker water, we recommend changing the HiTAC®filter cartridge
every 5 years. If necessary, the tank can be descaled. In areas with hard water
this should be performed more regularly.
You must not connect the Quooker to a deionised water device or to a water
softener that reduces the pH value.
The warranty period is two years, according to our General Terms of Business.

Overview of F sion tap installation

Drilling hole
• The tap hole for the Nordic boiling-water tap should be 32 mm in diameter.
The Fusion tap hole should be 35 mm in diameter.
• For drilling the hole for the Fusion tap, see step 3 below.
• The Nordic boiling-water tap should ideally be positioned at the corner of
the sink to enable use above the sink or the work top.
• It must be possible to move the spout of the Nordic boiling-water tap freely
up and down. When the spout is in its lowest position it projects ca.
25 cm below the work top. Bear this in mind when fitting the inlet combination,
sockets and the like.
• The Nordic boiling-water tap has a reach of 16 cm from the centre of the tap
hole – keep this in mind when choosing the tap position.

1Select position
boiling-water tap
Select a suitable position for the
Nordic boiling-water tap based on the
type of sink and position of the mixer
tap.
2 Drilling hole for
boiling-watertap
Using the correct drill bit, drill a hole
of 32 mm through the work top for
the Nordic boiling-water tap.
NOTE: For the Nordic mixer tap
please refer to the separate guide.
In the case of a hole of 35 mm or
larger, use the centring ring provided.
3Drilling hole for
Fusion tap
Select a suitable position for the
Fusion tap. Using the correct drill bit,
drill a hole of 35 mm through the
work top.

1 Tap through
work top
Push the tap through the hole in the
work top. Use the black ring (supplied
with the tap rings) when the tap hole is
bigger then 35 mm to center the tap.
2 Securing the tap
Set the tap to the desired position and
secure it with the metal ring and screw
ring supplied.
3 Securing tap
screws
Tighten the screws in the screw ring.

Fitting Nordic tap
• The total length of the hose between the boiling-water tap and tank is only
70 cm. The tank must therefore be fitted close to the tap. Extension hoses
are available in different lengths but are not normally required.
• The small fibre washers supplied with the tap rings are not required yet at
this point. One will be used for connecting the tap and tank hose (see
section E), the second one is a spare.

the hoses. Screw the fixing nut onto
the tap thread. Adjust the position of
the tap to ensure that the Quooker
logo is facing the user. hen the
handle is in the cold position, it will
be parallel to the edge of the work
top. Tighten the fixing nut with a pipe
wrench, socket wrench or spanner.
3 Fitting to thin
work top
hen fitting to a thin work top, use
the white tap support underneath the
brass fixing plate.

If necessary
If only a G1⁄2"connection is present,
use one of the G1⁄2"couplings with the
supplied packing rings.

Connecting tank to Nordic tap
• The Quooker tank is supplied with a U 3 pin plug and requires a standard
13 amp earthed socket.
• If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their
agent or a qualified technician.
• The Nordic boiling-water tap is equipped with a light ring that shows whether
the heating element is in operation or not. When touched the ring lights up
to draw attention to the fact that boiling water can be released.
• The ‘Q’ on the lid is the on/off switch.
1 Connecting
tank and tap
Position the tank and connect to the
inlet valve using the washer provided.
Using size 10 and 14 socket spanners,
connect tap hose to fitting at the top
of the tank.
2 Electrical
connection
Insert the LED cable into the relevant
opening. Connect the tank to an
earthed socket. Do not switch on until
the tank is filled with water.
3 Filling tank
Open Nordic tap and angle stopcock.
Check for leaks. Rinse Quooker for
a few minutes, until the water is clear.
The initial black colouring is activated
carbon from the filter and completely
harmless.
4 Switching on
Switch the tank on. After the Quooker
has heated up, the entire content of
boiling water must be flushed out
once before use.
