4 Operation
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with physical,
mental and/or visual limitations, or lack of knowledge and experience, unless
supervised by a suitably qualified person.
Please note that this appliance is not a toy! Parents and/or carers should prevent
children from playing with it.
Do not use plastic (disposable) cups to collect the boiling water. These cups are
often not resistant to high temperatures!
If you fill a cup, glass or pan with the HotSpot Titanium boiling water tap, it will quickly
become very hot! Please take this into account and use oven mitts or oven cloths
as protection.
You must always be careful with the boiling water that flows from the tap!
Scalding hazard when in direct contact with skin!
Cups with concave bottoms should be placed carefully under the flow in order to
prevent the boiling water from flowing over the rim.

4.1 On/o button
You switch the water heater on or o by press-
ing the on/o button for at least 2 seconds.
When the water heater is switched on, all LEDs
will light up briefly. When the water heater
is switched o, it will keep using a minimum
amount of electricity (less than 1W).
4.2 IntelliProtect control button®
The HotSpot Titanium boiling water tap is
equipped with the IntelliProtect®safety system.
This system ensures that you are aware of how
you use the HotSpot Titanium.
The IntelliProtect®system allows you to set
three dierent safety levels:
Safety level 1:
As soon as the electronic control button is
pressed, the light at the base of the tap will
illuminate to indicate this. After 0.5 seconds
the valve will open and boiling water will flow
from the tap.
This setting provides optimal convenience
thanks to the quick and easy operation. The
waiting time prevents unintended use. Rec-
ommended in a closed environment without
children where the HotSpot Titanium is used
by experienced persons. The flow of boiling
water stops as soon as the button is released.
Safety level 2:
The system dispenses boiling water when the
electronic control button is pressed twice in
succession:
1 x short, immediately followed by keeping
the button pressed down. The flow of boiling
water stops as soon as the button is released.
This is the default setting, a good compromise
between safety and user-friendliness.
Pan-filling function
The pan-filling function is convenient when
you regularly require larger amounts of boil-
ing water. You do not need to keep the button
pressed down.
At this level, the HotSpot Titanium will keep
dispensing boiling water when the tap button is
kept pressed for longer than 10 seconds. Even
when the electronic control button is released.
As soon as the control button is pressed again,
the water flow will stop immediately.
F
How to use the pan-filling function:
You can select the safety level and pan-filling function by repeatedly pressing the IntelliProtect®button .

F F F F F
Fig. 4.2 Control buttons on the pan-filling function
Please note: the factory default setting for
IntelliProtect®is level 2. The pan-filling
function is switched o.
Safety level 3:
Almost identical to safety level 2, but the
system dispenses boiling water after you have
pressed the electronic control button 3 times
in succession: 2x short, immediately followed
by keeping the button pressed down.
This IntelliProtect®level oers maximum safe-
ty. Recommended if there are small children
about, in (semi) public spaces, etc. The flow
of boiling water stops as soon as the button
is released.
If you press the control button
within 2 seconds after releasing
it, water will immediately start
flowing again. This way, you can
add a small amount of water if the
required level has not been obtained.
After stopping the pan-filling
function, it is possible to immedi-
ately dispense water again within
2 seconds. This way, you can add
a small amount of water if the
required
level has not yet been obtained. The pan-
filling function is restarted after 10 seconds.

5Maintenance
When installing the HotSpot Titanium water
heater, be sure to check the quality of your
water. If you live in an area with hard water
(more than 12 °dH), we recommend using
awater filter (see Warranty section).
5.1 Cleaning
Both the water heater housing and the tap body
can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth. Do not
use aggressive or abrasive detergents.
5.2 Legionella
Since the HotSpot Titanium water heater
stores the water at a very high temperature, it
is not necessary to take preventive measures
against legionella infection. Legionella cannot
survive at this temperature.
6Malfunction
The HotSpot Titanium boiling water tap is a
Dutch quality product developed on the basis
of many years of experience, and it is made
of first-class materials. In the unlikely event
of a malfunction, you can rectify it by using
the table below. If the action described does
not have the required eect, pull the plug out
of the wall socket and notify your fitter. First,
note the product name, model number and
serial number of your HotSpot Titanium water
heater. You can find this information on the
back of the appliance.
4.3 How to use the tap
The HotSpot Titanium uses an electronic con-
trol button on the tap to let water flow from
the tap. Using completely safe low-voltage, the
IntelliProtect® system guards over the safety of
you and your family members. The tap body
and spout will always have a pleasant low
temperature, even when dispensing water for
a longer period. Read the user and installation
guide of your tap for further information.
Your HotSpot Titanium boiling
water tap may only be repaired by
a registered professional. Do not
repair it yourself, as this may lead
to dangerous situations. Repairs
by non-qualified persons render your war-
ranty invalid.
If the power cable is damaged, it
may only be replaced by our In-
ventum Technologies B.V. technical
repair service in order to prevent
dangerous situations.

1. Position the HotSpot Titanium boiling
water tap according to the accompanying
tap instructions. The maximum length of the
connecting hose is 1 metre. Position the water
heater under the boiling water tap such that
the tap does not touch the water heater when
you adjust the height of the boiling water tap
(only applicable for Solo taps).
2. Turn o the mains stopcock.
3. Before using the (obligatory) inlet com-
bination: Saw through the drain pipe at least
70 mm above the bottom of the kitchen cabi-
net. Saw through the drain pipe again 40 mm
above the first saw cut. Position the supplied
water-expansion T piece and screw the swivel
nuts down tightly.

The following points must be taken into
account during installation:
• The pressure relief device (inlet combina-
tion) must be able to drip water. Do not do
anything to prevent this!
• The inlet combination must be operated
regularly to remove impurities and scaling
so that clogging is prevented.
4. Make a connection to the cold water con-
nection of the kitchen mixer tap by making a
junction with the supplied T-piece. Extend it
with the supplied straight copper part.
5. Install the inlet combination to the pipe-
work in the correct direction of flow, making
sure that there is enough distance between
the T-pipe expansion water hose (see Fig 8.2).
The direction of the flow can be identified by
the arrow on the brass part.

6. If a filter is to be used, it must be installed
before the inlet combination is installed. So
the inlet combination fits between the filter
and the water heater (see Fig. 8.4).
7. Position the flexible black expansion wa-
ter hose between the funnel of the inlet com-
bination and the T-piece in the drain pipe.
Make sure that the expansion water hose
hangs loose.
Make a syphon in the expansion water hose
and attach it with a tie-wrap.
PLEASE NOTE: when the water heater is in
use, water will drip from the inlet combination.
Do not do anything to prevent this! The drain
pipe must be in contact with the open air.
8. Optional: The warm water hose from
the water heater (with red marking) can, in
the case of a HotSpot Titanium 8-litre water
heater, be connected to the hot water con-
nection of the kitchen mixer tap. In such cas-
es, the dummy plug for the red hose must be
removed.
9. Connect the hose from the HotSpot Tita-
nium boiling water tap to the connector at
the back of the water heater (hook pointing
downwards).
Fig. 8.3 Connecting boiling water tap
connector
11. Open the water mains stopcock and the
water heater will partly fill with water. Check
the system for leakages.
12.Insert the plug for the water heater in the
earthed wall socket.
Do not use an extension cord!
13. Switch the water heater on by pressing
the on/o button for 2 seconds. After warm-
ing up, the water heater is ready for use. It
takes approximately 15 minutes in a 4-li-
tre water heater and 21 minutes in an 8-litre
water heater for the water to reach the right
temperature. If the tap is used before the wa-
ter has reached the right temperature, the in-
dicator lamp on the HotSpot Titanium boiling
water tap will start to flash rapidly.
14. Open the HotSpot Titanium boiling water
tap by operating the round button (1x short,
release, then immediately press in again and
hold). Again, wait until this flow of water is
constant and without air bubbles (system is
completely bled).
15. Now you can set the required IntelliPro-
tect®level and the pan-filling function.

10. Fit the water heater in the kitchen cabinet.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses
or that they are not crushed.
PLEASE NOTE: The water heater must be in-
stalled vertically. The back of the housing may
be positioned tightly against the back wall of
the kitchen cabinet. The water heater requires
no extra space at the sides either.
