A switched socket outlet is required to power up the boiler tank, this must be fitted in accordance with the current IEE Wiring Regulations.This electronic instant hot water appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the electronic instant hot water appliance or instant hot water tap, a safety spring back is used to control the flow of the near boiling water for additional safety.
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
Installation
- When installing the electronic instant hot water appliance, provide approximately 10cm to 15cm of air space on the sides of the unit for air circulation and approximately 2.5cm from the mounting wall.
- The environment humidity should be in the range of 10% to 60%. Be sure there is no dew.
- Do not power up the boiler tank until all pipework is complete and checked to ensure there are no leaks.
- It is recommended that a qualified person installs this system.
- Install the tap using the instructions provided with the tap.
- Position the boiler tank in a suitable position close to the tap, ensuring that the silicone hose (10) can be connected without being stretched, restricted, or twisted.
- Make sure the filter is fitted close to the boiler tank allowing space for a small amount of pipe between the filter and the boiler tank.
- The boiler tank is fitted with a 3/8” male thread for outlet and a 1/2” male thread for the inlet.
- Fasten the 1/2” Female BSP to 6mm Push Fit (6) to the to the inlet of the boiler tank (Blue). Do not over tighten as this will cause the washer to split and the system will leak.
- Fasten the 3/8” to Barb (8) to the outlet of the boiler tank (Red), making sure to include the washer (9). Do not over tighten as this will cause the washer to split and the system will leak.
- The incoming mains cold & domestic hot water supplies should have isolation means and terminate with ½” BSP male threads, close to the tap flexible tails.
- Fasten the Flexi Hose (Blue Stripe (Max 3Bar)) (1) to the incoming main cold with a wrench.
- Fasten the Flexi Hose (Red Stripe (Max 3Bar)) (2) to the incoming domestic hot with a wrench.
- Fasten the Flexi Hose (Blue Stripe (Water to Boiler)) (3) to the 1/2” Male BSP to 6mm Push Fit (4).
- Ensure the hoses have no twists or kinks and do not overtighten when fastening.
- The 1m PE Pipe (5) must be cut into two lengths before installation. The length will depend on your positioning of the filter and boiler tank. When cutting the PE pipe make sure there is no swarf in the pipe as this will restrict flow through the boiler tank.
- You will need to run the first length of the PE pipe from the 1/2” Male BSP to 6mm Push Fit (4) to the filter.
- Then run the other length of the PE pipe from the filter to the 1/2” Female BSP to 6mm Push Fit (6) on the boiler tank.
- To secure the PE Pipe into the push fit pieces, push into the hole until it stops. Then pull it to make sure it is fitted properly.
- Attach the Pre-Installed Silicone Hose (10) to the Barb Fitting (8). Make sure the hose is snug around the fitting and secure by sliding the fixing clip (9) over the barb.
Priming
- Before powering up the boiler tank you must first prime the boiler tank and make sure there are no leaks.
- Open the isolation valves attached to the mains supply to allow water flow. Then press and turn the hot water handle on the tap until water beings to flow from the spout. This may take around 90 seconds. The water will not be hot as we haven’t supplied power to the tank yet. The boiler tank is now primed.
- Check all connections for leaks. If there is a sign of leakage make sure the connection has been tightened sufficiently. Press and turn the hot water handle again to ensure all leaks have been dealt with.
- If you try to power on the tank before priming the display will read an ‘E3’ error message. This is because there is no water in the tank.
Powering On
- Connect the plug to a nearby power socket and turn on at the switch.
- Touch the illuminated, red on/off button
- You should begin to see activity on the display of your boiler tank.
- The left of the display will show the current temperature of the water inside the tank. The right of the display will show the temperature it is set to heat up to.
- As a safety feature, the tank will not begin heating up until you chose a desired temperature by toggling the illuminated red ‘Set Temp.’ button until you reach the temperature you want. Available temperatures are, 75°C, 85°C, 90°C, 95°C or 98°C. This will only be required during set up or when it is powered on again.
- Once heating has started the display will flash, the left-hand temperature will rise until it matches the set temp.
- If you see an error message on the display ‘E4’ then please unplug and plug the boiler back into the power socket. If the issue persists, please contact the service centre.
- If the tank is left on but has no water inside, then the boiler tank will automatically shut off after 5 minutes until it has been primed again using the instructions set out earlier.
- When the water inside the boiler tank drops 2° below the temperature threshold, it will automatically begin to reheat the water till it reaches the set target.
- If the electronic instant hot water appliance is not being used for long periods of time i.e.:
- Over 7 days, to save power we recommend you switch off using “ON/OFF” switch.
- Prior to turning back on, operate the handle for 3 minutes to allow fresh water to flow through the system.
- Over 14 days, follow the Environment guidelines and disconnect the tank.
Environment
- The boiler tank must not be exposed to below freezing temperatures. If for whatever reason, there is a possibility of this happening you must drain the system of water. Shut off the mains and isolate the boiler tank system. Disconnect from the power supply and allow the tank to cool for at least 1 hour. Once cooled, disconnect the inlet supply and tip upside down into the sink to empty of water.
- To reinstall, repeat installation instructions above.
- You should regularly perform visual checks on the operation of the tank and look for any leaks in the system. If you find a leak you may either need to re-tighten the connections or replace any split rubber washers, silicone tubes, or flexi tails that may be causing the leaks.
TROUBLESHOOTING
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUASE | WHAT TO DO |
| Water and Steam is spitting from the instant hot water tap spout | Unit is boiling | Turn the instant hot water tap handle on and release the water |

| Make sure that the circuit breaker and fuse are working correctly | ||
| Water is too hot | Water temperature setting is set to high temperature | Re-set the temperature to the lower temperature |
| Water is dripping from the instant hot water tap spout | The expansion chamber isn’t draining the system correctly due to very small draw off water | Draw off 05L of water to clear and prime the system. Avoid less than 150ml draw offs of water |
| The spout is blocked | Remove and clean the aerator | |
| Slow flow from the spout | Water filter may be clogged from impurities in the inlet mains water | The water filter must be changed every 6 months, or this will void guarantee |
| Water does not flow straight away | The electronic instant hot water appliance is designed for non-pressurised operation and there will be a slight delay till the near boiling water appears | After a large volume of water has been drawn off there may be a slightly longer delay in the water appearing from the instant hot water tap spout |
| No water flowing | Water valves have been turned off | Turn on all water valves |
| No water flowing | Inlet pipes have been blocked or twisted | Ensure the pipes are non- twisted or kinked to restrict flow |
| Remove and clean the aerator | ||
| Remove the electronic instant hot water appliance as per the descaling instructions and flush through all pipes to ensure water flow |
