Before you begin

1. Check the mains water pressure. The pressure must not
be below 1.5 BAR (22 psi) or above 5 BAR (73psi),
measured during a low demand period – (mid-morning or
mid-afternoon). If the pressure exceeds 5 BAR a pressure
reducing valve must be installed in the cold mains supply
to protect both the boiler and the water filter housing. A
suitable pressure reducing valve can be purchased at
www.frankefilterflow.co.uk.

2. The unit must be installed in a frost free environment.

3. Ensure that the cabinet is well ventilated. If in doubt it is
advisable to improve the circulation of air by drilling some
holes in the top and bottom of the rear panel.

4. Be careful when making the various connections to the
mains water stop valve and the boiler. Do not be tempted
to over-tighten the connections. It is only necessary to
firmly hand tighten the nuts using the patented
NutRunna

®

plastic tightening devices provided to make a

secure watertight seal.

5. Locate the existing hot and cold water supply pipes.

6. Shut off the mains water supply.

7. Switch off the mains electricity supply at the socket.

Safety

Remember: Boiling water is potentially dangerous and great
care should be exercised when using the Franke Omni tap.

The installation must be carried out by a suitably qualified
professional in strict accordance with the instructions
provided and comply with the UK Water Supply (Water
Fittings) Regulations 1999 and safety standards.

• If a new electrical power supply is required you must
seek the ser vices of a qualified electrician.

• The boiler must only be connected to the 230V mains
electricity supply through either an earthed independent
wall socket or a fused spur.

• The boiler is fitted with an electrical lead terminating in
a UK 3 pin fused plug for connection to the 230 volt 13
amp domestic electricity supply. It is impor tant to use a
socket with a built in switch and position it to provide
convenient access to switch off the boiler.

• Turn off the mains water supply before commencing
installation.

• Never lift the boiler by the flexible connector hoses.

• The power to the boiler must only be switched on once
the installation is complete and the tank is full of water.

• Always turn off the electricity supply to the boiler before
you close the mains stop valve. Restore power to the
boiler after the mains stop valve has been opened.

• Young people and potentially vulnerable users must
be instructed how to operate the boiling water function
safely by a responsible adult.

• This is a domestic appliance and must not be installed in
a commercial environment.

• If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, an official ser vice agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Install the Franke Omni 4in1 kitchen tap

Carrying out this operation first will make it easier to plan
the layout inside the cabinet. For safety, it is advisable to
locate the tap at, or towards, the back of the sink out of
reach of smaller children.

1. The tap will require a standard 35mm diameter hole

drilled in the kitchen work surface. Important note:
before drilling the hole make sure that there is enough
clearance between the tap handles and the back splash
when the handles are in the fully open position.

2. Insert the flexible hoses and the wire lead through the
35mm hole.

Position the tap for the owners convenience. (The tap
can be rotated 180° for left handed operation of the
boiling water function).

3. Working inside the cabinet, slide the gasket (8) and the
clamp plate (5) over the hoses and the two studs at the
base of the tap. Screw the two clamp nuts (6) on to the
studs using the box spanner (7).

4. Check the alignment of the tap then tighten the two
clamp nuts using the box spanner to firmly secure it on
the work surface.

Plan the layout inside the cabinet

• Determine the best positions for the hot and cold mains
water supply.

• Determine the best positions for the boiler and the filter
unit, making sure that the boiler power cable, the flexible
hoses, and the filter cartridge change indicator cable, are
all within comfortable reach of their respective
connection points without them being compressed,
stretched or kinked.

• The boiler must be installed upright with the hose
connections at the top, never on its side.

• Allow a minimum clearance of 80mm at the top of the
boiler for the connecting hoses.

• Choose a location for the filter unit (21) and the stop
valve (23) to allow convenient access for future filter
cartridge changes.
