The operation of the Quooker COMB E
The Quooker COMB 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. nside 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. f 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.
n addition to boiling water, the COMB E also supplies instant hot water.
The Quooker COMB 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.
ncorrect use can lead to injury. Therefore always read the manual carefully
before use.
nstallation, 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. f 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. f 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. t does not
cover labour costs or issues resulting from insufficient lime scale maintenance.
Introduction

Users
The Quooker tap can be used by children above the age of eight and people
with diminished physical, sensory or intellectual abilities provided they are
supervised or have been instructed on the safe use of the device. nform people
who are unfamiliar with the Quooker system about safe use and the possible
dangers associated with the use of the boiling-water tap. Please note: incorrect
use may result in injury. Prevent children from using the tap as a toy and do not
allow children to clean or maintain the product unsupervised. Keep the plug out
of reach of small children.
The Quooker system is suitable for household use and commercial use such as
in staff kitchens at shops, offices, farms and other business premises and for
use by visitors at hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts and other residential accom-
modation.
Always follow the installation method described in the manual. Avoid spilling
water on the plug. f defective, the power plug may only be replaced by a
qualified technician. Water may drip from the pressure relief valve. This is
normal. Always leave the grey funnel of the pressure relief valve open.
The pressure relief valve must be serviced regularly to prevent lime scale build-
up and to check that the valve has not blocked up. Make sure you let the tank
cool off adequately before disconnecting it. The fastest way to do this is as
follows: turn off the Quooker, but leave the plug in the socket. Then open the
boiling-water tap and turn it off once the water is cold. You can find a more
detailed explanation for disconnecting the tank in chapter F.

Overview of Fusion tap installation

Drilling hole
•Note: 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.
•Note: t 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.

Connecting water
•Note: The COMB E operates under mains water pressure and must always be
fitted with the supplied inlet combination and pressure reducing valve.
• The boiling-water tap must be installed according to the locally applicable
regulations.
• The inlet combination will release drips of expansion water while the water in
the tank is heating up in order to regulate the pressure inside the tank.
• Position the inlet combination as high as possible to create a sufficient height
distance between the inlet combination and the point where the waste hose
connects to the waste pipe. This is necessary to allow the expansion water to
flow away and to prevent water from backing up from the waste pipe (see
figure at step D4).
1 Fitting pressure
reducing valve
Close the main shut-off valve. Fit the
pressure reducing valve to the T-joint
and subsequently to the cold water pipe
(Ø 15 mm). NOTE: The pressure reducing
valve must be fitted in the correct direc-
tion (see image). Fit the cold water inlet
hose of the mixer tap or the Fusion tap
to the T-joint with the inlet hose screen.
2 Fitting inlet
combination
Connect the inlet combination to the
pressure reducing valve with a piece of
copper piping (Ø 15mm).
3 Fitting mixing
valve
Connect the mixing valve to the inlet
combination with the large fibre washer
supplied. Allow for the temperature
setting knob. Connect the hot water
inlet hose of the mixer tap or the
Fusion tap to the mixing valve with the
inlet hose screen.
4 Temperature
setting
Turn the temperature setting knob of
the mixing valve to the temperature
you require (between 50°C and 60°C).

Connecting waste
The Quooker tank releases expansion water via the inlet combination which is
fed into the grey funnel. The funnel is connected to the waste pipe via the
supplied waste hose. The drilling kit, also supplied, can be used to make a
connection to the waste pipe.
t is important to keep the height distance between the inlet combination and
the connection to the waste pipe as large as possible to prevent waste water
from flowing back.

1 Drilling hole
sing the drill bit supplied, drill and
tap in one operation a threaded hole
in the waste pipe. Drill slowly so that
the PVC does not melt. Turn back anti-
clockwise to preserve the thread.
2 Fit connector
First try to screw the PVC connector in
the hole before fitting permanently
with PVC glue.
3 Connect hose
to waste pipe
Slide the waste hose over the PVC
connector.
4 Connect hose to
inlet combination
Create a u-bend (or loop) in the hose
and connect it to the funnel of the
inlet combination. The u-bend will
create a water lock to block smells
from the waste pipe. As the water is
being heated, the inlet combination
will release drips of water into the
grey funnel. The open funnel is
required to prevent pressure build-up.

Connecting tank with Nordic tap
• The Quooker tank is supplied with a UK 3 pin plug and requires a standard
13 amp earthed socket.
• f the mains lead is damaged it should be replaced by the manufacturer, their
agent or a qualified technician to prevent hazard.
• The light ring on the boiling-water tap will light up to indicate when the
water is being heated inside the tank. t will also light up when the tap is
being touched to indicate that it is a boiling-water tap.
• The Q-shaped button on top of the tank is the on/off switch. Once the water
is up to temperature the light on the tank will fade in and out.
• Ensure that the tank has sufficient height clearance to avoid pinching the hose.
• Do not use any other washers or sealants than the ones supplied.

1 Connecting tank
Place the tank in position and connect the
tank hoses to the mixing valve. NOTE:
The hoses have flare fittings and should
not be fitted with any seals or washers.
Connect the tap hose to the fitting at the
top of the tank using the small washer
and size 10 and 14 spanners.
2 Electrical
connection
Connect the boiling-water tap by plug-
ging the LED cable into the hole provid-
ed at the back of the tank cover.
Connect the tank to the socket. Switch
the socket on but not the tank yet.
3 Filling tank
Open the boiling-water tap and the stop
valve on the inlet combination. Check for
leaks. Flush the tank through until the
water is clear. Black water will flow out
initially. This is Norit carbon from the
filter and completely harmless.
4 Switching on
tank
Switch on the Quooker. After the water
has heated up, the entire content of the
Quooker must be flushed out once
before use.
