1. Important safety points
This appliance is only intended to be used for household and similar applications
such as, staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, by clients in hotels/bed and
breakfast etc.
Parts of this appliance – especially the vent pipe – can become very hot in
use and can also generate steam. Take adequate precautions to avoid injury
or damage to property.
For indoor use only.
This unit is intended to be permanently connected to the water mains and
should not be connected by a detachable hose-set.
The unit MUST BE VENTED and will malfunction if steam cannot easily escape
via the vent pipe. Please follow the installation instructions.
Do not confuse the vent and the inlet pipe – serious damage may result.
Any plastic pipework or fittings connected to the vent pipe must be rated to
100°C minimum.
This unit must be installed by a suitably qualified person in accordance with the
latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations and the UK Water Fitting Regulations.
This appliance MUST BE EARTHED.

If the power cord is damaged, discontinue use immediately. Replacement of the
power cord must be carried out by the manufacturer or their service engineer.
Children shall not play with the appliance.
This appliance can be used by children aged 12 and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
the use of this appliance in a safe way.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without

It is recommended that a filter is installed in the pipework to protect against
lime-scale build up, reduce service costs and extend product life.

Step 1 - Removing the cover
Lever the outlet nozzle away from the surround as shown (fig 1). A click indicates the
nozzle is successfully detached from the surround. Lower the outlet nozzle to unhook
it from the surround (fig 2).

Release the main cover from the back plate by removing the two screws at
the base and top of the unit (fig 3).

The cover can now be lifted away
from the back plate. It may be
necessary to apply a small amount of
pressure to the grey section to
facilitate removal of the cover (fig 4).

Step 2 - Selecting a mounting position
Position the unit bearing in mind it will contain scalding hot water and should not be
accessible to children or the infirm.
Units are typically mounted above a sink or a draining board in a kitchen or similar
setting. The tap height should be convenient for the operator. Consider the possibility
that the user may wish to fill large pots as well as cups or mugs. It should be possible
to see the water level of the container being filled.
At least 110mm clearance must be left above the unit to allow later removal of the
cover for service.
Step 3 - Fastening to the wall
Ensuring a level, mark the two upper screw
positions onto the mounting surface, drill
and plug the holes with the provided plugs.
Insert the provided screws into the plugs
leaving around 3-4 mm of the thread
exposed.
Offer the unit onto the two screws and then
mark the two lower mounting holes onto the
mounting surface. Remove the unit from the
wall and drill and plug the two holes. Offer
the unit back up to the top two screws locate
and tighten the two lower screws and finally
tighten the upper screws.

It is recommended the supplied 15mm compression fittings are used.
Inlet connection
Connect the cold water supply to the inlet connection below the solenoid valve
(marked INLET).
•
This unit is intended to be permanently connected to the water mains and
should not be connected by a detachable hose-set.
•
It is recommended a service valve is fitted close to the unit to aide future
maintenance.
Connect the vent pipe to the vent connection
(marked VENT). The vent pipe should be as short
as practical (max 400mm), fall continuously and
discharge to a safe and visible place.
A tundish (an inexpensive air break device readily
available from plumber’s merchants) is required
if the vent pipe would be more than 400mm in
length or contain bends.
WARNING
The unit will malfunction if steam cannot easily escape via the vent pipe.
Do not confuse the vent and the inlet pipes – serious damage may result.
Any plastic pipework or fittings connected to the vent pipe must be rated
to 100°C minimum.
The unit should only be used with the tap provided, do not attempt to
change or modify it in any way.

Electrical connection should be made via 13A
Fig 8
switched fuse spur in accordance with the
latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations:
This appliance MUST BE EARTHED.
Step 7 - Commissioning and operation
•
Turn on the water supply and ensure there are no leaks.
•
Switch the electrical power on.
Automatic commissioning will then commence. The (automatic) stages in
commissioning are as follows:
•
At first power on, the status ring and caution indicators will be illuminated
red, the water tank will completely fill with water through the solenoid valve.
This will take several minutes depending on the capacity of the unit.
•
When the level sensor detects that the tank is full of water, the heating element
is switched on.

•
When the water has reached operating temperature the commissioning
phase ends and the unit switches to normal operating mode. This is indicated
by the status ring changing from red to green.
3. Operation
Status ring and caution indicators
•
The caution symbol will always be illuminated when power is supplied to the unit.
•
The status ring will show GREEN to indicate when the unit is ready to use (boiling),
or RED whilst heating to temperature.
•
If the status ring flashes this indicates the unit has encountered a fault
(see faults below).
Dispensing water
•
The flow of water is controlled by rotating the knob in the centre of the status ring,
Anti clockwise to increase and clockwise to decrease/stop the flow of boiling water.
•
The water is dispensed from the grey nozzle at the base of the unit.
Faults - The status ring can display two severities of fault.
•
Flashing green indicates the unit has shut down because it has encountered a
temporary fault. For example the dispensing knob was left open while unattended
or the water supply had been interrupted. After the fault has been fixed, power
off and back on again to reset the unit. It may be necessary to let the unit cool for
up to 10 minutes if the fault mode will not reset.
•
Flashing red indicates a permanent fault and the unit will need to be repaired
or replaced.
4. Maintenance
•
Clean with a damp cloth only - do not use abrasives.
•
Periodically (at least every 12 months) remove internal lime-scale build up using
a standard domestic kettle de-scaling compound. Access to the tank is via the lid
at the top of the unit. You may wish to remove the unit from the wall to aid access
to the unit for de-scaling. We recommend that this is done by a competent person.
•
To aid the removal of de-scaling solution and scale, a drain plug (marked DRAIN)
can be found at the base of the unit (behind the hot water outlet).
