Installation Procedures Continued
c) Electrical
This unit is designed for connection to 220-240 volt AC power supply via either a
concealed electrical connection or an exposed electrical connection.
For exposed electrical connection the unit may be fitted with a power cable
connected directly to the terminal block through the heater base.
For concealed electrical connection, fit a power cable from the rear through the
chassis opening provided directly to the terminal block as shown.
Step 4 – Assembling
Without the cover on, turn the water on to check for any leaks. These should be
apparent in a couple of seconds. If all is dry then isolate water and replace cover.
If there are any leaks re-visit plumbing instructions.
With the cover on, fit the red escutcheon over the outlet tube and apply PTFE
tape to the threaded portion of the outlet tube.
Screw the tap assembly clockwise onto the outlet tube until it touches the
escutcheon without pressure. Continue to turn the tap one full rotation until the
handle is fully vertical. If the tap still “feels loose” continue to rotate one further
turn leaving the tap in a vertical position.
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 below.
Operating Procedures

and must be
manually
returned.
Tap Operation
Zip Econoboil is fitted with a two-way safety tap for 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 pull down 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.
Pull handle
down for water
flow than
release.
