Operating Instructions
Your Hanstrom 3-in-1 tap provides three types of water:
- Cold Filtered Water: Operate the right-hand lever forward for cold filtered water.
- Hot Filtered Water: Operate the right-hand lever backward for hot filtered water.
- Boiling Water: For safety, the boiling water function typically requires a two-stage operation. Push the left-hand lever down and then twist or pull it forward/backward (refer to specific tap mechanism for exact action) to dispense boiling water. Release the lever to stop the flow.
Boiling Water Safety
- Always exercise caution when dispensing boiling water.
- Keep hands and face clear of the spout during operation.
- Ensure children are supervised and educated about the dangers of boiling water.
- Do not obstruct the spout.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Hanstrom boiling water tap system.
Cleaning the Tap
- Clean the tap exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- For brushed finishes, wipe in the direction of the grain.
Filter Replacement
The water filter cartridge should be replaced periodically, typically every 3-6 months, depending on water hardness and usage. Refer to the filter image in the Package Contents section for identification.
- Turn off the water supply to the filter.
- Depressurize the system by opening the tap.
- Twist and remove the old filter cartridge.
- Insert the new filter cartridge, ensuring it clicks into place.
