Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the tank and body construction?
A: The R38 uses 304-grade stainless steel for both the internal water tank and external housing. This grade resists corrosion from heated water and cleaning chemicals used in commercial kitchens.
Q: What is the power consumption and electrical connection requirement?
A: Power specifications are confirmed at time of order based on destination market voltage standards (UK 230V / US 120V). Typical consumption ranges from 2.5 to 3.5 kW depending on thermostat setting and ambient temperature.
Q: Can the unit be plumbed for automatic refill or is manual filling required?
A: The R38 is designed for manual fill via top-mounted lid. Plumbed conversion requires aftermarket float valve installation and compliance review with local health authority codes.
Q: How long does the unit take to heat 50 litres from cold to serving temperature?
A: Heat-up time from 15°C to 95°C is approximately 45-60 minutes depending on mains voltage and element wattage. Recovery time after partial dispensing is 8-12 minutes per 10-litre draw.
Q: What descaling schedule is recommended for hard water areas?
A: Monthly descaling is recommended in areas with water hardness above 200 ppm calcium carbonate. Use food-safe citric acid solution or commercial descaler suitable for stainless steel beverage equipment.
