Installing (All Regions)
For mobile installations the appliance must be securely bolted to a stable counter top.
1) Place the mounting plate onto the counter top ensuring that is 75mm away from
either a rear or side wall and the large 50mm hole for the water inlet and power cable
is towards the back.
2) Mark each of the holes, move the mounting plate and drill through the counter top -
50mm (2”) for the large hole at the rear, 8mm for each of the xing holes.
3) Place the mounting plate back on the counter and secure with 4 x M8 bolts and nuts,
the bolts need to be 12mm plus the thickness of the counter top. It is advisable to use
a star washer or spring washer to prevent vibrations loosening the bolts.

Connecting the water supply
Place the appliance on top of the mounting plate and attach the exible braided water
hose to the water inlet valve located on the underside of the appliance. Feed the free end
of the hose along with the mains cable (if power supply is under the counter) though the
drilled hole.
It is always recommended that a water softener is used on this appliance. If one is
used attach the free end of the water hose to a water softener ensuring the correct ow
direction is followed then attach a second 1/2” braided hose from the softener to the water
supply.
In the case of a mobile installation, the hose shall be connected to a water bottle pump
(Flojet) which draws water from a container.
NOTE: The appliance shall be installed in accordance with the regional water regulations

Securing the appliance in place.
To ensure the appliance doesn’t move when installed on a mobile unit it should be
xed to the mounting plate.
Once the appliance has been connected and functional tests have been completed it
can be secured to the mounting plate .
Align the xings on the side of the appliance with xing holes on the sides of the
mounting plate. Once these are aligned, secure the appliance to the mounting plate
using 4 M5x12mm Hex Flange Bolts (supplied with the unit).
Connecting the power supply
Take the main power cord and plug it directly into a plug socket or inverter.
Ensure that the appliance is within 1m of the power supply.
NOTE: Installation engineer must test the appliance after installation to ensure
everything is working correctly. The appliance is not to be passed o󰀨 until functional
tests have been carried out.

Turning on/o󰀨 & Operation
WARNING: Before turning on the appliance ensure electric, water and gas supplies
are turned on and kept on during operation.
1) Before igniting the Water Boiler, switch on
using the mains on/o󰀨 switch located on the
right side of the unit.
Mains on/o󰀨 switch
2) From the OFF position depress the gas valve knob and rotate to the rst position piezo
holding for 20 seconds, this is to ensure gas is purged through the system. Release the
knob and return back to o󰀨 position

3) From the OFF position depress the gas valve knob and rotate to piezo ignite position.
The valve knob should click twice and come to a stop as the piezo sparks to light the pilot.
Still holding in the valve knob, check through the pilot viewing hole that the pilot light is lit. If
the pilot light is not lit repeat this step until it is.
Note: On initial setup or after a prolonged period of not being used, repeating step 3 is
common.
Once the pilot light is lit, continue to hold knob in for 20 seconds to allow the thermocouple
to heat up, then slowly release the knob, the pilot should stay lit and the valve knob should
now be positioned at the pilot ame setting.

4) Depress the gas knob and rotate anti-clockwise until the valve is set to
the high ame position, then release the knob. The burner is now set to the
high ame and will start heating.
5) Whilst the water boiler is being lit the water tank will ll automatically with cold water which
is indicated by the blue LED positioned on the front of the machine. Once the water level has
reached the required amount the LED will switch o󰀨.
6) The red LED indicates when the appliance is heating. Once the set temperature of 92°C is
reached the LED will switch o󰀨.
Once the boiler reaches temperature it is ready to use.

Hazardous operation
1) Depress the gas valve knob and return to the OFF position this will shut o󰀨 the burner and
extinguish pilot light, to check use viewing aperture.
2) Turn o󰀨 mains on/o󰀨 switch
3) Isolate the water, gas and electricity supply
The appliance is now o󰀨 and safe.
It should not be possible to operate the appliance in hazardous conditions; however if when
lighting the appliance an excessive amount of gas has been purged then it is advised to stop
the ignition sequence and let any build up of purged gas to disperse, not doing so could lead
to combustion of the gas.
Only ignite the appliance as stated in the instructions. DO NOT use other methods to light the
appliance. If piezo ignition fails then it is recommended a service is carried out.
If the burner is extinguished whilst the appliance is in normal use the gas valve will shut o󰀨
automatically. If this fails and gas continues to be expelled manually, close the gas valve on
the side of the appliance, turn o󰀨 the mains power and isolate the appliance until any excess
gas has dispersed. if the burner contines to extinguish it is recommened the appliance is
servied by a qualied engineer.
In case of malfunction, immediately cease usage and disconnect from electricity and close
of gas supply. Do not try to solve the problem, contact your supplier or technical service
engineer.

Operating the water boiler
To operate the appliance rst ensure appliance is to temperature.
1) Place a cup/mug or tea pot on the drip tray central to the water valve, ensure
the drip tray grid is in place before use. DO NOT hold liquid vessel whist lling to
reduce the risk of scalding.
2) Pull black water valve lever forward to start ow of hot water, if required the
lever can be pulled down fully and locked into place.
3) Once required amount of hot water is dispensed then return water lever back to
the closed position to stop ow of water.
Ensure drip tray is emptied periodically to prevent overow and make sure drip
tray is tted back into place before use. Not doing so could lead to spillage of
water from overow and condensation outlet onto counter tops.
WARNING: Water from this appliance is hot and can scald, care must be taken
with using it.
