INSTALLING THE FOSSO 4IN1 STEAMING HOT WATER TAP
1. In order to prevent an electric shock, do not place electrical wires, plugs or the dispenser in a
wet or damp location.
2. If any cables or sockets have signs of damage, do not connect the appliance to the power
supply. These should be replaced by a Caple Service agent.
3. When installing the dispenser, you should allow 10 to 15cm of space around it for ventilation.
4. You must never use a spare part which is not recommended by Caple.
5. The temperature adjustment controls the water temperature, not the water flow.
6. Do not ‘dry heat’ the water tank as this can cause heating of the pipes and the water tank
will become damaged. You must ensure the tank has been filled with water before switching
the boiler on at the mains.

Please keep this instruction manual for future reference Instruction manual FOS/4IN110
FOSSO 4IN1 INSTALLATION
› The power outlet must be correctly earthed and also be able to be isolated by a switch.
› Use a separate circuit for the boiler, which is also correctly earthed.
› The tap can be installed into the sink or the worktop using a 35mm hole.
› The handle and electronic buttons will each require a 35mm cut-out into the worktop.
› Install the water boiler vertically, it must not be placed on its side. It can be stood on the base
of the cabinet, but it is recommended to fix the boiler in position using the brackets provided.
INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Install the tap, hot/cold handle and electronic buttons onto the sink or the worktop as shown
below, and tighten the fixing screw.

Please keep this instruction manual for future reference Instruction manual FOS/4IN1 11
2. Screw the Hot & Cold flexi hoses into the base of the hot/cold handle. The red hose connects
to the hot water, the blue hose connects to the cold water. The boiling water flexible hose and
the filtered water flexible hose connect to the base of the spout. The handle then needs to be
connected to the spout via the additional flexi hose, as shown in the diagram here:
3. Attach the T-piece connector to the Cold mains water supply,
to allow a separate flow to go direct to the water filter. The
Blue tube supplied with the filter, will need to be cut into 4
appropriate pieces. Connect one piece to the T-piece connecter
via the push fit connection. The opposite end can then be
attached to the inlet on the filter head. The filter comes
supplied with a splitter. Using another piece of the blue piping,
connect the filter head outlet to the splitter.
4. Follow the instructions supplied with the filter and filter head
to ensure it is installed correctly, and set to the correct setting for the water hardness in your
area. Failure to do this will invalidate your guarantee.
5. The hot & cold tap tails can be connected directly to the hot & cold mains water, and the
boiling water and filtered water flex tails can connect to the outlets on the top of the
electronic valve. The boiling water tail connects to the red ‘Out’ and the filtered water tail
connects the blue ‘Out’ on the electronic valve.

Please keep this instruction manual for future reference Instruction manual FOS/4IN112
6. Attach the Boiler inlet flexi tail onto the valve on the side
of the boiler. Connect the other end of the tail to one of the
remaining blue tubes using the push fit to threaded adaptor.
Connect the other end of the blue tube to one of
the connections on the push fit splitter.
7. Attach the cold valve inlet flexi tail to the blue ‘In’ on the
electronic valve. Connect the other end of the tail to the
remaining blue tube using the push fit to threaded adaptor.
Connect the other end of the blue tube to one of the
connections on the push fit splitter.
8. Attach the hot valve inlet flexi tail to the red ‘In’ on the electronic valve. Connect the other
end of the tail to the outlet on the top of the boiler.
9. The clear silicone hose connects to the steam release
valve on the side of the boiler, and can then be
attached to the existing plumbing using the threaded
metal connector.
10. Once all of the connections have been made, turn
on the standard cold/hot water supply by using the
hot/cold handle to test the cold water (blue colour
indicator) and hot water (red colour indicator).
Switch it off after the flow becomes normal.
11. Before powering on the boiler, turn on the boiling
water supply (with child safety lock, press the boiling
water button twice and then hold), until the water
completely fills the boiler tank and begins to flow from
the tap continuously. Let the water flow for at least
5 minutes in order to flush the tubes, boiler and filter.
WARNING:
Ensure this is done before the boiler is turned on to avoid dry boiling the tank and damaging the
boiler. Only once the boiler has been flushed and is full of water should it finally be switched on.
12. Check all connections to ensure that no tubes are stretched or twisted and there are no
leakages, then fix the boiler in the final location using the brackets supplied. The boiler must
be installed upright.

13. Connect the boiler to the power supply.
(PLEASE ENSURE THE BOILER TANK IS FULL OF WATER BEFORE SWITCHING ON,
ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY NOT FOLLOWING THIS INSTRUCTION WILL NOT BE
COVERED BY THE GUARANTEE).
14. Test the dispenser. Adjust the temperature of the boiler to the highest setting, wait for 10
minutes until you can hear the water boiling. The ‘HEATING’ light will illuminate whilst the
boiler is heating. Once it has reached the desired temperature, ‘READY’ will be displayed.
NOTE:
It may take a few seconds for the water to begin to flow as it makes the way up the tube (the time
will vary depending on the length of the tube). Always allow the water to run for a few seconds
before using the steaming water to make a drink. This will ensure any water which may have
cooled in the tube has been expelled first, allowing for a steaming hot beverage to be made.
To fix the boiler to the cabinet, remove the hanging plate from the packaging:
› Mark the fixing location of the hanging bracket on the inside of the cabinet and install the
bracket fixing screws into the cabinet.
› Using the nut and thread on the top of the boiler, fit the bracket.
› Fix the boiler in position by locating the bracket on the screws previously fixed into
the cabinet.
› Tighten all screws to securely fix in place.

OPERATION
Turn on the boiler press the button. To adjust the water
temperature, press the and arrows on the control panel
to increase and decrease the temperature. The temperature
can be adjusted from approximately 25°C to 98°C.
Once the required temperature has been selected, ‘HEATING’ will illuminate until the boiler has
reached the set temperature. Once the set temperature has been reach, the ‘HEATING’ light will
turn off, and ‘READY’ will illuminate to show the boiler is now ready to use.
To begin using the boiling water:
NOTE:
Due to a safety feature, the boiling water will not start with a single press of the button.
Press Boiling water button twice and then hold. Release the button to stop the boiling water.

In order to guarantee the performance and quality of your steaming water tap, do not stretch the
tubes after installation, take extreme care not to touch any of the tubes or fixings.
If the flow reduces this may be due to the filter needing replacement. The water filter must
be replaced at least once every 6 months, failure to do this may invalidate the
guarantee.
If the boiler is not going to be used for a long period of time, please turn it off, and disconnect it
from the power supply. Allow the steaming water to flow from the tap until it runs cold.
When you are ready to use the boiler again, ensure you fill the tank completely before connecting
the boiler to the power supply and setting the temperature control to the desired temperature
setting. Failure to fill the tank prior to switching on may cause damage and invalidate the
guarantee.
It is important that the water filter is replaced at least every 6 months and installed according to
the instructions supplied with the filter. Failure to correctly set the filter head to the correct setting
or replace the filter when required will affect the boilers performance and cause scale build-up,
this may invalidate the guarantee.

Please keep this instruction manual for future reference Instruction manual FOS/4IN116
NOTE:
The above data is based on tested water taken directly from the boiler tank, not the tap. The water
temperature from the tap will be different dependent on the length of the hose between the boiler
and the tap.
BOILER HEATING TIME
The below table shows the effect on the temperature of the water as water is drawn from the
boiler. For example, if you take 1250ml of boiling water (enough for around 9 cups of tea) in one
go, the remaining water in the boiler will drop to 96˚C and take around 245 seconds to heat back
to 98˚C. ‘HEATING’ will illuminate on the temperature adjustment screen when the temperature
drops below the set temperature. ‘READY’ will illuminate when it has heated back to the desired
temperature.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
You must not perform any care or maintenance on this product without first switching off the
power supply and disconnecting the boiler from the mains.
CLEANING
This product can be cleaned by simply using warm water with a small amount of mild detergent
added. Use a soft cloth (not a scouring pad as this will damage the surface) and wipe the exterior
of the boiler and tap. DO NOT use any abrasive cream cleaners (including Cif and Cillit Bang),
these cleaning fluids can also damage the surface and remove the markings on the tank and
tap surface.
REPLACING THE FILTER
Replacing a filter cartridge:
1. Slowly unscrew the used cartridge by turning counter-clockwise. This will unlock it from the
filter head and enable it to be removed. During this process, incoming tap water supply and
outgoing filtered water valves in the filter head shut-off automatically.
The system will expand and a small amount of expansion water may escape from the flush
hose due to peaks in pressure. Please keep this in mind and place a suitable container
underneath the flush hose.
2. Open the flush/pressure release valve (see figure 1) and lead the rinsing hose into a suitable
container (e.g. bucket) or to the drain.
Figure 1

Please keep this instruction manual for future reference Instruction manual FOS/4IN120
Figure 2
NOTE:
The flush water will be milky or cloudy at first. This is due to the dispersing air and will clear
up quickly after flushing the cartridges with appropriate volume of water. Now check that the
cartridge position is correct by ensuring the mark on the filter cartridge aligns with the larger
recession of the wall mounting bracket. When inserting the cartridge, check the position of the
cartridge label. This should face forwards once in the end position so that all of the necessary
information is visible.
For further information please refer to the manual supplied with your filter.
3. Remove the new filter cartridge from its packaging and check for any damage.
4. Insert the filter cartridge into the filter head and turn the cartridge clockwise until it stops and
end position is reached. The flow in the filter head is reopened and the system vented and
flushed via the flush/ pressure release valve. Flush filter for 10 litres.
5. Close the flush/pressure release valve (see figure 2) - the system is now ready for use.
6. After replacing the filter cartridge, check all components for seal integrity, water must not
escape from any point.
