Read These Warnings First
Please read all installation requirements, installation procedures and
precautions before installing any Zip Hydroboil instant boiling water heater.
Never attempt to install any Zip Hydroboil instant boiling water heater without
reading all of the applicable instructions.
In some hard water areas where mineral scale accumulation in the boiling
chamber of the Zip Hydroboil may become a problem, consideration should be
given to the maintenance required. A suitable form of water treatment may be
necessary.
All plumbing connections must be made in accordance with local regulations.
The Zip Hydroboil instant boiling water heater is not intended for use by young
children or infirm people without supervision.
Young children should be prevented from having access to ensure that they are
not able to use or play with the heater.
If the installation site is located more than 1000 metres above sea level, the
installer should contact a Zip authorised agent for high altitude settings.
This appliance must be earthed. If the power supply cord is damaged it must
be replaced by a Zip authorised agent or a qualified electrician.
Do not remove the cover of the heater under any circumstances without first
isolating the heater from the power supply.
Do not use strong, corrosive or abrasive cleaners to clean the case of the
heater.
Frost protection: If this heater is located where ambient air temperature could
fall below 5ºC when the heater is not in use, do not turn off the appliance
electrically. This safeguard does not offer the same protection to the
connecting pipework and fittings.
The ambient temperatures this unit should operate with is 5ºC - 50ºC.
This heater is intended only for indoor use and should never be installed
outdoors or be exposed to the elements of nature.
This unit must not be positioned in an area that may be cleaned by a water jet.
This unit must not be cleaned by a water jet.
Before installing, ensure that the following are available:
a) Sufficient space to position the heater so there is at least 150 mm
clearance above the heater for service access,65 mm to its left and
20 mm to its right – the tap outlet usually should be positioned at least
200 mm above a draining board or drip tray.
b) Standard 13 amp fused spur power outlet positioned as shown on the
paper mounting template for connection from the rear of the heater to the
terminal block within the heater, OR a standard 13 amp double pole fused
spur power outlet on the wall within 1500 mm of the heater. For units with
3.6 Kw element (25 ltr) or multi element units (40 ltr) an isolating switch in
the fixed wiring and attached to a secure surface is required. This switch
must provide all -pole disconnection and a contact seperation of at least 3
mm installed in accordance with wiring rules.
Installation Requirements

Page 5 of 12 Zip Hydroboil - Installation & Operating Instructions - 85264 - May 2012 v1.00
c) Cold water supply with a minimum working pressure of 1 bar (100 kPa)
and a maximum working pressure of 7 bar (700 kPa) connected via an
isolation valve.
d) Outlet drainage to a sink draining board or to a drip tray.
e) Access to drainage from a vent situated at the base of the heater.
If the water pressure is likely to exceed 7 bar (700 kPa), a 3.5 bar
(350 kPa) pressure reducing valve must be installed in the cold water
supply line.
f) In all installation instances the walls of the heater must be vertical and the
base horizontal, there can be no exceptions to this rule.
Before You Begin
Locate the paper mounting-hole template packed with the heater.
Read the installation and operating instructions completely.
Decide whether to install with concealed or exposed plumbing and/or electrical
connections. Concealed connections are preferred for superior appearance.
Step 1 – Positioning
Position the heater so the tap will drain on to a draining board or drip tray.
Position the base of the tap to be not less than 200 mm above the draining
board (height should be increased only if essential for filling larger vessels).
Provide clearance for service access of not less than 150 mm top, 65 mm left,
20 mm right.
Mark corner positions for the heater on the wall so as to position the paper
mounting-hole template.
Step 2 – Fastening
Position mounting-hole template on wall and drill holes where shown.
Drill holes for water inlet, vent outlet and wiring if rear access is intended.
Remove cover fastening screws from heater and lift whole cover off heater.
Install plumbing and wiring and prepare pipe ends and wiring ends as shown.
Screw heater chassis to the wall using screws or bolts suited to the wall.
Screws or bolts must be capable of supporting the heater weight when filled.

Step 3 – Connecting
a) Plumbing
For exposed plumbing connection, connect the cold water inlet pipe from the
base of the heater directly to the 15 mm or half-inch compression fittings with
the nuts and olives provided.
For concealed plumbing connections, connect the cold water pipe through the
rear of the chassis using a 15 mm or half-inch capillary elbow.
Cold water pipes must be flushed before connection to the inlet. Any clogging
due to sediment or fines will adversely affect the operation of the heater.
It is recommended that the heater be installed with a stop cock which allows it
to be isolated from the mains supply for servicing.
Water pressure requirements:
Minimum - 1.0 bar, (100 kPa) maximum - 7 bar (1000 kPa).
Warning: If pressure is likely to exceed 7 bar, a pressure limiting valve must be
installed in the cold water supply line. Zip recommends a valve rated at 3.5 bar
(350 kPa) for this application.
b) Venting
A vent at the base of the heater must be plumbed to a safe visible location as,
under certain conditions, it may discharge cold or boiling water and/or steam.
For exposed vent plumbing, connect vent outlet from the base of heater to a
15 mm or half inch OD pipe which has a continuous fall, is no more than 3
metres long, has no more than 3 right angle bends, and discharges to a waste
water drain.
For concealed vent plumbing, connect plumbing to the vent outlet from the
heater rear using a capillary elbow protruding 45 mm from the wall.
Alternatively attach a tun dish to the wall as shown and plumb away to waste.
d) Electrical
For concealed electrical connection, connect a power cable through the rear
access opening of the heater to the terminal block within the heater as shown.
For exposed electrical connection, connect a flex to a standard 13 amp double
pole fused spur power outlet on the wall within 1500 mm of the heater.
All isolation switches must have a contact seperation of at least 3 mm in all poles.
Do not turn the power ON until the heater is filled with water.
Step 4 – Assembling
Place the heater case back on to the heater and secure the top 2 case screws.
Secure two bottom case screws.
Step 5 – Commissioning
Check previous steps. Turn water supply ON. Water is now flowing into heater,
check connections for leaks. Wait approximately 5 minutes and check outlet
tap for water. This is acheived by pulling the tap handle forward.
Power is only to be turned on when water is available from this outlet.
Turn power ON. After a short period, boiling water will be available and will be
maintained close to boiling point thereafter. Initial heating periods are shown in
the table on the left.

Warning: this appliance must be earthed.
Following remedial service the earthing continuity of the heater must be
checked by a qualified technician using an appliance tester, or continuity tester
of accuracy Class 5 or better. Class 5 denotes an accuracy of 5% full scale
deflection.
1. Isolate power supply.
2. Set meter to 0 ohm with leads connected together.
3. Connect one test lead to the earth pin on the three pin plug.
4. Connect the other test lead to a bare patch of metal (preferably on the edge)
of the top of the cover, then to the front cover of the unit, and then to the tap
top under the plastic paddle. This can be achieved by inserting the probe up
from behind the paddle without losing water.
Warning- the water may be boiling - show extra care.
5. Test that in every instance the electrical resistance does not exceed 1 ohm.
Earthing Continuity Verification
If required, an earth continuity test can be
performed by testing between the earth pin on
the products lead and a exposed piece of metal
on the case and the tap body.

Tap Operation
Boiling water
Zip Hydroboil is fitted with a two-way cool-touch safety tap for filtered instant
boiling water.
For instant boiling water, gently pull the top of the tap forward.
Boiling water will flow until the tap handle is released.
This operation gives fingertip flow control for safe filling of cups and mugs.
To fill larger vessels such as teapots and saucepans, rotate the tap 180
degrees and depress it until it locks into a horizontal position.
Boiling water will flow until the tap is returned to its normal vertical position.
This operation allows the vessel to be filled without holding your hand where it
may be affected by steam.
