Installation
The boiler must be installed on a horizontal work
surface with sufcient strength to support its
weight.
Locate in an area where there is adequate space
to use the boiler safely (e.g. free from risk of
congestion and tripping hazards).
Connection to Mains Water Supply:
Connect the WRAS approved water lling hose
(3/4”BSP) to the inlet connection point on the
back of the boiler and the other end to the mains
water supply, via an accessible isolating tap with
a ¾”BSP thread.
IMPORTANT: If micro-bore pipe is used instead
of the inlet hose supplied, the size must be
minimum OD 3/8”(10mm).
The water supply must have a pressure not
exceeding 7bar (96psi), and no lower than 2bar
(20psi) NOTE: If your water pressure exceeds
7bar, t a suitable pressure reduction valve.
We regret that Instanta cannot be held
responsible for any machine malfunctions if
the water pressure exceeds that stated. If in
doubt, consult your water supply company.
Electrical Connection:
The boiler must be Earthed.
Your machine is supplied with a standard 13amp
bonded plug with a 13amp fuse.
Overflow:
The drip-tray has a limited capacity and is
designed to handle small spillages and drips.
Wherever possible, we strongly recommend
that it is connected to a permanent waste outlet
using the tting kit provided.
If preferred, and as an alternative, the overow
can be connected from the back of the
machine using an optional rear-overow kit
(Pt. No: ROFK1) available from Instanta Spares
Department (01704 502905).
IMPORTANT: Whichever overow connection is
chosen, the diameter of the pipe used must be
no less than 15mm.
Whilst every reasonable precaution is taken
to prevent an overflow, Instanta cannot be
held responsible for any damage caused as a
result of incorrect installation or blockage of
the overflow or failure to direct the overflow
to a safe outlet.

Operation
First use (once water and electrical connections
have been made);
• Switch boiler on. The screen will light up red
and will run through an initial self-diagnostic
check before starting to ll with water
(screen reads; “NOT READY FILLING”).
• Once primed with water, the boiler will
begin to heat (screen reads; “NOT READY
HEATING”).
• When the correct temperature has been
reached, the display will change from Red to
White and will simply read “READY”.
• The boiler will then continue in a heat/ll
cycle until the tank is at full capacity. (During
the heat/ll cycle, small amounts of water
are added to ensure the water at the tap is
always at the correct temperature).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In normal daily use, the
boiler may be used as soon as the “READY”
message is displayed, but on rst install, wait at
least 15 minutes before starting to use.
• Drain off approximately 10 litres of water (to
ush the new lter cartridge through).
• The boiler is now ready for use.
Regular Daily Use
Switch boiler on and wait for the screen to turn
white and show “READY” message. The water
will then be at the correct temperature.
Dispense water via the lever tap. (CAUTION:
Boiler dispenses near-boiling water).
AQ35 Multi-Filter
Instanta’s new built-in ltration system ensures
that water is always to the highest standard,
whilst delivering lower maintenance costs and
improved energy efciency.
Quick and easy to change, the new lter reduces
sediment, chlorine taste & odour, and lime-scale
via a slow release scale inhibitor, providing
better water and therefore, better quality drinks.
Filter Replacement:
A series of bars on the FILTER display shows
the estimated remaining life in the current lter
cartridge. When the lter has just 200 Litres
remaining, the lter icon will begin to ash as
a reminder. When the lter needs replacing,
the screen will show the message; “CHANGE
FILTER”.
The boiler will continue to operate with the
CHANGE FILTER screen but scale may build
up more rapidly and the water taste may be
affected.
Replace the lter as follows;
1. Switch boiler off and draw water down to
tap level.
2. Grip cartridge and rotate a quarter-turn to
the left and pull forward. CAUTION: A small
amount of water will drain from the head

3. Align a at screw-driver or similar with the tab
on the lter and gently push.
4. With one tab loosened, pull the lter cap off
the old cartridge.
5. Align the shape on the inside of the lter cap
(highlighted above) with the shape on the end
of the new lter and push the two together
until it clicks rmly in place.
6. Remove protective cap from the top of the
new cartridge and ensure the two rubber
seals are in place.
7. Insert new cartridge and turn until it locates.
Install with a quarter-turn to the right until
cartridge comes to a complete stop (Inlet
water will automatically turn on).
8. Switch boiler back on and allow to ll
(15 minutes)
5

9. Drain-off approximately 10 litres of water.
10. TO RESET FILTER MONITOR: …Press and
hold “On/Off” button, screen will go blank
but continue to hold, until “READY” message
is displayed on a red screen.
The boiler is now ready for use.
Adjusting Filter Monitor
(Optional):
The lter monitor is factory-set to “medium”
(default) which is suitable for most parts of the
UK with average or medium water hardness.
Hard and Soft Water: The effectiveness of
the lter will be reduced in hard water areas
(and should be replaced more frequently), or
extended in soft water areas where scale is less
of a problem.
If in doubt as to the hardness of water supplied
in your area, consult your local water authority or
Instanta Technical Support.
The lter monitor on the boiler can be changed
from the default “medium” setting to “hard” or
“soft” setting as follows;
Replace the lter cartridge (as steps 1 to 9
“AQ35 Filter Replacement” above). Then;
• Turn machine off.
• Press & hold “on/off” button (for
approximately 12 seconds) until red screen
shows “PR” in top-right corner, then release
button. Temperature setting is displayed.
• Press & hold button (long push) for
approximately 5 seconds until screen
changes to show “medium” (default lter
setting).
• Press button (short push) to scroll between
the different lter settings;
SOFT
MEDIUM
HARD
EMPTY FILTER SYMBOL (No Filter monitor)
• With the required lter setting selected,
Press & hold button (long push) for 4
seconds to save.
• Press & hold button (long push) for
approximately 6 seconds until display goes
blank.
• Turn machine back on again.
• TO RE-SET & CONFIRM NEW SETTINGS;
…Press & hold button, screen will go
blank but continue to hold, until “READY”
message is displayed on a red screen (See;
Step 10 above).
Cleaning
• Clean the external surfaces of the boiler
regularly to maintain good hygiene
• Empty the front drip-tray regularly
• Wipe external surfaces of the boiler with a
damp cloth. Do not use abrasive materials
on the outer surfaces.
• Wipe the draw-off tap each day to keep
clean and also prevent lime-scale deposits
from building up around the tap-outlet.

Maintenance & Service
Information
Filter:
Twist to the left and remove. See “AQ35 Filter
Replacement” section above.
Descaling:
The boiler should be periodically checked for
scale build-up…see below:
In hard water areas, the boiler should be
descaled on a regular basis to maintain efcient
operation, minimise energy consumption, and
also retain the water quality. The frequency
depends on the hardness of the local mains
water supply and the regular replacement of the
AQ35 lter cartridge.
To de-scale:
• Disconnect machine from power supply
• Empty the machine through the draw-off tap
and allow to cool
• Lift off the outer-lid.
• Remove tank-lid (four xing screws).
• Lift out the evaporation plates (inside of tank
– Remember order of removal)
• Remove as much scale as possible by hand.
Any scale which is difcult to remove can be
dissolved by using a de-scaling solution.
• Wipe clean the level sensing probes.
• Flush with copious amounts of cold water to
ensure all traces of de-scaler are removed
before using the boiler again.
• Replace evaporation plates, tank-lid and
outer lid.
Draw-off tap:
The tap spring and washer components are
subject to wear & tear. It is advisable to keep
a spare tapspring and washer in case of
emergencies.

Service Warnings And Fault
Diagnosis
Your boiler is tted with an intelligent fault
diagnosing system and is able to detect various
fault conditions. Some of these are less serious
and the machine will continue to operate as
normal, while others are more serious and will
disable the unit.
Before calling for service, switch the machine off
at the mains supply. Draw-off a small amount of
water and then switch back on after 10 minutes.
If the fault does not clear, call technical support
for advice.
