OPERATION
First use
1 Switch on the mains water supply and the electricity supply
2 Leave the boiler for 30 minutes to allow it to fill completely
3 Drain off approximately 5 litres of water to remove any loose carbon
particles from the filter.
Regular operation
The boiler starts automatically when the mains water supply is turned on. After
a short delay it fills with water and heats up. During the heating cycle small
quantities of water are added to ensure that hot water is always available at
the tap.
The water temperature, screen backlight and screen contrast can be adjusted
as required.
The boiler is designed to be left permanently switched on: it is only necessary
to turn it off for descaling or maintenance.
Changing water temperature, screen backlight and contrast.
1 Turn power off and on again. The Filter Flow screen is displayed
2 Press and hold the power button until the software version is displayed.
Press Fn and the temperature will be displayed
3 Press the power button to cycle through the values 70 to 96 deg C.
Press the Fn button to select the required value
4 The backlight adjustment screen is displayed next
5 Press the power button to cycle through the values 1 to 25. Press the Fn

Filter replacement
The FILTER display shows the estimated remaining life in the current filter
cartridge. When the filter needs replacing, a reminder message is displayed.
This is followed by the change filter screen.
The boiler can be used without a filter but scale may build up more quickly
and water taste may be affected.
Replace the filter as follows:
1 Twist the base of the filter 90 degrees to the left and carefully lower the
filter cartridge out of the unit. It will contain a small amount of water
2 Remove the black cap and place on the new filter
3 Insert the filter fully into its recess and twist to the right to lock in place
4 Press and hold the “Fn” button for 5 seconds to reset the filter life
monitor
5 Drain off approximately 5 litres of water to remove any loose carbon
particles from the filter

CLEANING
Clean the external surfaces of the unit regularly to maintain hygiene.
Empty the drip tray regularly.
Wipe the dispensing tap daily to remove any limescale deposits and check
that the water outlet is clear.
Wipe the unit down with a damp soft cloth.
Do not allow excess water to run into the unit.
Do not use abrasive creams or scourers.
MAINTENANCE
Drip Tray: Slide tray out to remove and empty
Filter: Twist to the left and remove. See section on filter
replacement.
Descaling
The descaling procedure must be performed by trained personnel as it
requires the removal of panels from the boiler and access to live
electrical components.
The boiler should be descaled regularly to maintain efficient operation and
water quality. The frequency depends on the hardness of the local water and
timely replacement of the filter.
The boiler is best descaled at the end of the working day to allow the
descaling agent several hours to work. Lincat recommends its own descaling
agent, available from Lincat spares department, part code MS19.
1 Wear protective clothing
2 Isolate the boiler from the electricity supply
3 Turn off the power and let the water cool to approximately 60ºC to avoid
injury
4 Using a 3mm Allen key, remove the screw on the top of the boiler
5 Remove the insulation on top of the tank, then unscrew and remove the
tank lid
6 Add the descaling agent a little at a time as some types can cause hot
water to erupt. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions
7 Replace the tank lid and outer lid, and attach an “Out of Use” notice to
the boiler to prevent use during descaling
8 Turn on the electricity and allow the boiler to heat and run normally for
approximately 30 minutes
9 Isolate the boiler and allow the water to cool

IS339 ECN3539

10 Remove the outer and tank lids again and inspect the tank and level
sensor housings for scale deposits. If necessary repeat the descaling
process
11 Drain and flush all descaling agent from the tank completely as follows
i Remove the two screws behind the drip tray that secure the lower
front panel
ii Connect a hose from the overflow pipe to a bucket and turn the
service valve to drain the remainder of the water from the tank
iii Flush out the tank with clean water
iv When empty shut the valve and replace the cover
12 Replace the tank lid, ensuring that the gasket is sealing the top of the
tank correctly
13 Fit the outer lid and turn on the boiler.
