Introduction
The operation of the Quooker VAQ E
The Quooker system consists of a small tank under the sink which is connected to the Nordic
single tap, the Fusion or the Flex tap. 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 dispensed, cold water ows back into the tank at the same time and is
heated automatically. If the entire contents of boiling water is used in one go, the heating-up time
is ca. 10 minutes (PRO3-VAQ E) to 15 minutes (PRO7-VAQ E). Before the water leaves the tank it is
puried by the HiTAC® water lter (High Temperature Activated Carbon).
The Nordic single tap, the Fusion and the Flex tap are insulated and are tted with a childproof
push-and-turn handle (see ‘Tips for use’ for instructions). The Nordic single tap is also height-
adjustable.
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 sucient space for the
tank as well as a 13 amp socket, water supply and waste pipe. The Quooker tank must be tted
in an upright position. If the tank is to be tted in a cabinet with drawers, an optional bracket can
be purchased to suspend the tank from the cabinet wall. The HiTAC
® lter inside the tank should
be changed once every 3-5 years depending on your water hardness. 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 insucient lime scale maintenance.
