First Use

Only qualified or trained personnel should use this appliance.
Switch on the water and electricity supplies. Leave the boiler to fill for 30 minutes.
Drain off approximately 5 litres of water to remove any loose carbon particles from the

filter.

Regular Operation

The boiler starts automatically when the water supply is turned on. During the heating
cycle, only small quantities of water are added to ensure hot water is always available
at the dispenser.

The boiler is designed to be permanently switched on: it is only necessary to turn it off
for de-scaling or maintenance.

Water is drawn off through the dispenser (G).

EB3F/PBM PROGRAMMING GUIDE
The PBM version of the EB3F has the option to preset upto 3 measured dispense sizes.
This quick guide shows the procedure for programming the water boiler.

The measured dispense can only be set when the unit is full and upto temperature. So
connect the unit to the water supply and electric, allow 30 minutes for the unit to fill and
heat.

To enter the programming mode, turn the electric off to the unit.
Press and hold the “power button” and turn the electric on. After a
few seconds the programming mode is entered.

Push the “Fn” button until the Use dispense screen is visible.
Pressing set turns off the timed dispense and the unit changes to
Push and hold for dispensing
Press next.

IS425 ECN 3607 Page 8 of 13

The unit also has some built-in safety features when in measured dispense mode. These
are

 Pressing the “Hot water” button at any time during the filling will stop the fill cycle.
 Other size receptacles can be filled be pressing and holding the “Hot Water” button

until full, similarly under-filled receptacles can be topped up in this way.

Standby

If the boiler is left unused for any length of time, turn the element off by pressing the

power button.
Filter replacement

The filter display shows the estimated life remaining in the filter cartridge (Fig 2). A
reminder message is displayed when the filter needs changing. The boiler can be
used without a filter, but scale will quickly build up and water taste may be affected.

Fig 2

To replace the filter

Remove the drip tray from the appliance. Pull the bottom of the lower panel (Fig 1 (F))
outwards and release the two spring pins. Slide the panel downwards to remove.

Twist the base of the filter 90 degrees to the left and lower the cartridge out of the
appliance. It will contain a small amount of water,

Remove the black cap and place it on the new filter.
Re-insert the filter into the recess and lock into place by twisting to the right.
Refit the lower panel.
For EB3F/PB, hold the Fn button for 10 seconds to reset the filter life. For EB3F/PBM

hold the Fn and On/Off buttons down simultaneously for 10 seconds.
Drain off approximately 5 litres of water to remove any loose carbon particles from the

filter.

CLEANING

Do not use a water jet or steam cleaner, and do not immerse this appliance.

Clean all panels with warm water and mild detergent, do not use abrasive

materials. Dry with a soft cloth.

Slide out and empty the drip tray regularly, and wipe the dispensing nozzle daily to

remove limescale deposits.

De-scaling

The boiler should be de-scaled regularly to maintain efficient operation and water

quality. The frequency depends on the hardness of the water and timely

replacement of the filter.

The de-scaling procedure must be performed by trained personnel as it
requires the removal of panels from the boiler giving access to live electrical
components.

De-scaling the boiler at the end of the working day gives the de-scaling agent

several hours to work. Lincat recommend our own de-scaling agent MS19,

available from our Spares department.

Wear protective clothing.
Isolate the boiler from the electrical supply.
Turn off the power and allow the water to cool to 60 Deg C.
Using a 3mm allen key, remove the screw in the top of the boiler.
Remove the insulation from the top of the tank. Unscrew and remove the tank lid.

Add the de-scaling agent slowly to avoid eruption of the water, following the

manufacturers instructions.

Replace tank lid and outer lid and attach an „Out of Use‟ notice to prevent use

during de-scaling.

Turn on the electricity and run the boiler normally for 30 minutes. Isolate the boiler

and allow the water to cool.

Remove both outer and tank lids again. Inspect the tank and level sensor housings

for scale deposits. If necessary, repeat the de-scaling process.

Drain and flush de-scaling agent as follows:

IS425 ECN 3607 Page 10 of 13

Remove the drip tray, lower panel, silicone dispense hose and the inner cover.

Connect a hose from the overflow pipe to a bucket and open the service valve to

drain the water from the tank.

Flush the tank with clean water, shut the valve and replace the covers.

Replace the drip tray and tank lid, ensuring the gasket is sealing the top of the tank

correctly. Re-fit the outer lid and turn on the boiler.

SERVICING, MAINTENANCE AND
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT

Other than replacing the filter, all servicing, maintenance and component

replacement on these appliances should be carried out by one of our recommended

service engineers.

The control panel displays information that can help with fault diagnosis. Before

calling for service, draw off a litre of water, clear the fault code by pressing the Fn

button and turn the boiler off and on again at the supply. If the fault persists, call

service for advice.
