Overview of Installation

There are three main components to the system, the
dispensing head, the canister and the heating tank. The

dispensing head comes with thr ee 1/4” copper tubes and
one silicone tube. The two shorter (12”) copper tubes are

connected to the incoming water supply via the canister.
The supply to the cold side may be diverted through a

chiller before the dispensing head, if required. The
longer (18”) copper tube is connected to the inlet of the

tank. The silicone tube is connected to the outlet of the
tank using the hose connec tor.

Preparing for the Installation
As with any sink related device, it is much easier to

mount the dispensing head of this system onto the sink
before the sink is mounted into the countertop. A

mounting hole of 1 3/8” diameter (standard si nk ledge
drilling) is required.

It is always recommended to take the c omponents and
locate their optimum positions before starting the

installation.

IMPORTANT: Do not plug in the unit until all water
connections have been made an d the tank is filled

completely.

Making t he Supply Provision

Provide a branch compressi on connection for a 3/8”
supply tube. This should be done wi th a conventional tee

and the shut-off valve provided. Flush the pipework
before installing.

Mounting the Dispensing Head

The copper tubes are coiled for packing and must be
carefully straightened before installation. Feed the tubes

and shank through the hole in the sink ledge or counter.
Assemble the clamp plate locking washer and backnut

(hexagon to the top for thin sinks) fingertight. Turn the
dispensing head and the spout until the handles and

spout are in the required position for use and fully tighten
the backnut, this will lock the spout i n position.

Seasonal Shutdown
If you plan to be away from home for extended periods

the following procedure must be carried out:

1 Operate the hot lever until the water runs cold.

Spare Parts

For out-of-warranty maintenance and repairs, we recommend you employ
a Registered Plumber.

Before ordering spare parts, determine the correct reference number from
the exploded di agram. Quote this number, and where appropriate, the

color of your faucet.

Installation, Care and Maintenance

2 Shut-off the main water supply. A stop valve was

supplied with the system for this purpose, and will be
found located on the adjacent pipe work.

3 Operate both levers to confirm that the water supply is

turned off, and to release the pressure in the system.

Troubleshooting

Should your dispenser not work correctly, check the list
below before calling for service. The following things are

not covered by the warranty.

[WARNING! Do not operate both levers at the same
time as this can build up pressure in the heating

tan k causing the bladder to expand and eventually
burst. Such damage is not covered by the warranty]

Water is not ho t:

Check if electrical supply to heating tank is plugged in.
Tur n temperature control knob clockwise as far as

possible.

Test the temperature again after 15 minutes.
Check if fuse is blown or circuit breaker is open.

Hot water con tinuously drips or sputters from spout:

For safety reasons this faucet may drip or splutter after
use. This venting prevents a build-up of pressure in the

heating tank. If this becomes excessive; Turn the control
knob counter-clockwise to lower temperature. Check the

tubes connecting the faucet to the storage tank are not
kinked.

Check the condition of the canister and clean or
replace if necessary.

Check the shut off valve is open.
Check if supply tube is kinked.
