INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Calomax Quantum-e boiler. All our products are designed to give years of simple, reliable operation. To ensure this, it is important that the installation and subsequent servicing is carried out by a suitably qualified engineer in accordance with these instructions.
Allow adequate clearance for ventiation and for the easy removal of the outer casing lid and rear panel. Calomax ltd recommend a minimum clearance of 50mm on all sides of the boiler A suitably qualified engineer must install this unit.

It will allow only a limited amount of water to enter the unit at any one time and then switch off the solenoid and energise the element. Note: When the green service indicator light on the front of the boiler is showing solid colour, the machine has been starved of water for in excess of 20...
