UNIT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
SAFETY:
•Risk of scalding. Beware of accidentally operating the water drawoff dial
or push buttons especially when cleaning. If the dial is left in the ON
position (shown later) then pressing boost will cause water to flow
immediately from the font.
•This appliance must be earthed. If the plug supplied is not used then
ensure that the green/yellow cable is connected to a suitable earth.
•Risk of flooding –inlet hose. The hose supplied with this unit is non-toxic
food quality tested to 190psi. However, a hose is not a permanent
connection. It is, therefore, advisable to switch off boiler and close the
stopcock valve when boiler is not in use, e.g. overnight, weekends etc.
•Risk of flooding –overflow hose. Water spilling in the scale platform area
will run down a waste tube which should be plumbed –this is not intended
to be used as a dedicated drain facility. If a waste bucket is used it risks
overfilling.
•The utmost care has been taken in the manufacture and testing of this
unit. Failure to install, maintain and / or operate this boiler according to the
manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions that can cause injury
or damage to property. If in any doubt about the serviceability of the boiler
always contact the manufacturer or your own supplier for advice.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance
•In the event any wires are damaged, such wires can only be replaced by
experts or professional afterservice staff from the manufacturer,
afterservice department or similiar function departments.
INSTALLATION DETAILS:
Electrical installation:
•Electrical specification: 2.8kW-230V-50Hz
•A 13A plug is factory fitted. A suitable 13A outlet is all that is required.
Plumbing installation procedure:
•Mains water pressure required (limits): 5-50psi (35-345kPa)
•Fit a stop Valve on a cold water line and attach a 3/4" BSP male fitting,
•(e.g. 3/4" x 1/2" 311 or washing machine type stop valve).
•Connect straight tailpiece of the hose to the stop valve fitting. Make sure that
the pre-attached sealing washer is fitted.
•Turn on the water to flush any impurities, dust etc from the inlet hose and
water pipe. Allow several gallons through.

•Connect right-angled tailpiece of the hose to the inlet valve of the boiler (again
3/4" BSP). Make sure the sealing washer is fitted here also.
•Turn on water and check for leaks.
CLEANING:
The exterior of these machines may be cleaned with a damp cloth and a light
detergent. Do not use abrasive cloths or creams, as this will spoil the finish of the
machine. Do not use a water jet or spray.
NB: Beware of accidentally operating the Font Dial or buttons when cleaning the
front of the machine.
LIMESCALE:
In common with all water boiler manufacturers, service calls resulting from limescale
are not covered by warranty. Fitting a scale reducer is recommended, especially in
hard water areas. This can reduce the build-up of scale but may not stop it
altogether. The frequency that descaling is required depends on the local water
supply; hard water areas need more attention. Descaling of the machine should
ideally be carried out by qualified service personnel.
Descale agents/solution should be added to the Tank via the large tube as in photo.
Follow in the descale agent instuctions.

COUNTER CUTOUT:
•NEVER lift or lower the unit by holding the font!–use the upper wide tile or lift
from the base.
•The unit requires a counter thick enough to support the weight of the machine
when full, when full it could be up to 30kg in total.
•Never overload the scale platform with a force greater than 9kg.
•Ensure the flow control dial is in the OFF position as shown below.
•Check the dimensions shown for the counter cutout and the upper tile, leave
adequate clearance on your counter top and check the space below the
counter/cabinet to ensure there is enough room.
•Cut out the counter top to be 410x195mm, this dimension includes
clearance/tolerance space for the lower part of the machine (the actual
machine is approx 405x190mm). The full dimensions are shown on the
following page.
•Hold the machine by the tile and slowly lower it down into the cutout, it is
advisable to wear thick work gloves. A second person may be needed who
could hold the machine at the bottom. Be careful not to trap fingers under the
tile as it is lowered.
•The weight of the machine when filled should be enough to ensure it is not
moving. If further fixing is required it silicone can be used to stick the tile to the
counter –but it is advisable to leave the machine free to be taken out for
servicing purposes.

Principle of Operation of the Uber Boiler
•The Uber Boiler is designed to be a highly accurate hot water delivery system.
This temperature accuracy is achieved by several features;
oIn stand-by the water is maintained at a set temperature [ Prime Mode ]
this is controlled via a thermistor in the tank,
oin the Boost Mode the hot water is circulated through the FONT (to
reduce any temperature loss)
a second thermisor located in the FONT is now used to control
the temperature of the water and therefore ensure the accuracy
of the delivered water
a specialised software algorithm is used to control the
temperature within +/- 0.2ºC,
Simplified operation :
1. The unit is preset to a Prime Temperature at the factory (this may be
changed by the user). This is the stand-by mode and the temperature
is displayed on the display panel as Tank Temp.
2. The user presses the Boost button and holds this button down until the
desired set temperature is displayed on the display panel.
3. The Uber Boiler will now ramp the tank temperature from the Prime
setting up to the Set Temp while recirculating the water through the
Font.
4. When the set temperature is reached the user will rotate the Font Dial
counterclockwise to start the flow of water.
5. To select another set temperature the user should press the Prime
button – return the unit to the Prime Mode – and repeat step 2 to the
new temperature.
FIRST OPERATION :
•Check that all installation procedures have been carried out.
•Ensure water valve is on.
•Plug boiler into 13A socket and press power switch on – located under the
bottom of the Tank unit.
•See Photo 1 for location and name of each feature.
•The boiler unit will then take in water to the high level probe and then
commence heating – this is known as a continuous fill cycle
•The display will show : PRIME FILL the TEMP : will show the temperature of
the water in the tank.

Instruction Booklet 1000680 Uber Boiler 6L 2 8kW 1000681 Uber Boiler 2L 2 8kW 18-08-06 (2).doc Page 7of 13
•Once the water level in the tank has reached the high level probe (full) the
heater will operate and it will take approximately 20-25 minutes to reach the
PRIME temperature. On the display : PRIME HEAT
•Once the PRIME temperature has been reached the display will indicate :
PRIME READY
•The boiler is now ready for use
•Use of the Time and Weigh Features:
oTime : 00:00 – when the Timer Button is pressed the display will
indicate time elapsed in minutes : seconds. This can be used to
indicate the brewing time. Pressing the button once quickly will pause
the current time which can be restarted again. Pressing the button for
more than 2 seconds resets the Timer display to zero.
oWeight : 0000 – this is in grams. Pressing the Weigh button will reset
the weighing scale. The brewing vessel can be placed on the scale/drip
tray and the display will show its weight. Pressing the Weight button
again will “zero” (tare) the scale so that when the coffee grind is added
to the basket, its weight can be displayed. This is to help control the
Coffee / Water ratio. 1ml of water weights approx 1gram.
o9kg is the max allowable weight on the scales. DO NOT OVERLOAD

MODES OF OPERATION
The uber Boiler has 2 modes of operation:
1 PRIME Mode
2 BOOST Mode, this may be operated in
•Manual Boost or
•Auto Boost mode.
PRIME MODE
After turning on or pressing PRIME button the machine goes into Prime Mode.
This is a stand-by mode when the water is prepared for final dispense.
The tank will fill to the top level probe (PRIME FILL) and heat up (PRIME HEAT) to
the preset temperature (Prime temp in calibration). Once the temperature gets above
(Prime temp - 1°C) the display will show PRIME READY message and the BOOST
button will be enabled.
Occasionally when the water evaporates the machine will refill and show PRIME
FILL message for few seconds before going back to PRIME READY again.
Prime Mode logic is based on thermostatic principal – the water accuracy is around
±2°C from the set point.
