INSTALLING THE VAPOS 3IN1 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.

VAPOS 3IN1 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.
»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 onto the sink or the worktop as shown below, and tighten the fixing screw.
Diameter of cut out = 35mm

2. Screw the 3 flexible hoses into the base of the tap. The red hose connects to the hot water,
the blue hose connects to the cold water, and the longer plain steel hose (1 meter) connects
to the boiling water.
3. Attach the T-piece connector to the Cold mains water supply,
to allow a seperate flow to go direct to the water filter. Using
the Blue tube supplied with the filter, cut it to the appropriate
length and connect this to the T-piece connecter via the push fit
connection. The opposite end can then be attached to the inlet
on the filter head.
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 flexi tail can connect to the outlet on the top of the boiler.
6. Attach the Boiler inlet flexi tail onto the valve on the side of the
boiler, and finally, using the remainder of the blue tube, connect
this to the filter head outlet and then to the end of the Boiler
inlet flexi tail using the push fit to threaded adaptor.

7. 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.
8. Once all of the connections have been made, turn on the standard cold/hot water supply by
using the right hand lever on the tap to test the cold water (blue colour indicator) and hot
water (red colour indicator). Switch it off after the flow becomes normal.
9. Turn on the left lever of the tap (with child safety lock, push the lever down and backwards),
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.

10. 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.

Please keep this instruction manual for future reference Instruction manual VAP2/3IN1, VAPQ2/3IN1, JOY3IN1 13
11. Connect the boiler to the power supply.
(PLEASE ENSURE THE BOILER TANK IS FULL OF WATER BEFORE SWITCHING ON,
ANY DAMAGED CAUSED BY NOT FOLLOWING THIS INSTRUCTION WILL NOT BE
COVERED BY THE GUARANTEE).
12. 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.

Please keep this instruction manual for future reference Instruction manual VAP2/3IN1, VAPQ2/3IN1, JOY3IN120
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.
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.
