Please also fully read and understand the boiler user instructions before use. er instructions before use. It is normal for the hot water to take a moment to both dispenses upon each use and stop fully after the handle is closed as water remains within the product. The 98°C handle is also supplied with a red plastic safety clip which prevents the handle lock from opening when clipped under the operating lever. Do not add to, exchange or modify any component of the boiler or mixer tap, only genuine parts must be used. The spout exit or any part of the system must not include any additional third-party adaptors, components or connections that will add resistance or modify the system. The installation should be periodically checked for damage, if the property is left unattended for a prolonged period we recommend isolating water supplies and switching off the boiler at the mains socket. On reconnection flush thoroughly.
Clean the tap with a damp soft cloth and mild dish soap to remove any grease marks created during installation as per the care instructions. Each time the product is used you should flush a small amount of boiled water through before use, typically this can be used to preheat your cup, if unused for extended periods then flush the product a long time.

Care instructions for your kitchen tap mixer To maintain the appearance of this tap, ensure that it is regularly cleaned only using a clean, soft damp cloth. A solution of warm water and a mild liquid detergent may be used where necessary, and then the fitting is rinsed thoroughly and wiped dry. Any other cleaning action will invalidate your warranty. Abrasive cleaners, scouring cleaners and acidic cleaners must not be used under any circumstances. Avoid contact with all solvents (including chlorinated solvents, ketones or acetones as these may result in surface deterioration or etching). Also avoid contact with any harsh household chemicals such as oven cleaners, drain cleaners, rust removers, paint strippers and toilet bowl cleaners, bar keepers friends, or Brasso. Where the tap has a removable aerator on the spout exit it can be removed and cleaned periodically to maintain optimum flow performance and remove any limescale, when reattaching please ensure to reconnec ensure to reconnect the center stem of the aerator to the center spout flexible tube fully.

---|---
Maximum operating pressure: 5.5 bar| Maximum domestic hot water temperature:
70°C
Flow characteristics: Domestic Hot, Cold & filtered cold share outer single
flow spout.
Boiled filtered water: Through centre spout channel.
| Recommended domestic hot water Temperature: 46°C
If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for short periods, damage can result. In these instances, a thermostatic mixing or pressure- reducing valve should be installed. This product is manufactured in accordance with recognized European standards. Please ensure that your kitchen mixer is fitted in accordance with Local Water Byelaws. Where hot and cold water mix within the tap, then suitable nonreturn (check) valves should be installed to both the hot and cold supplies to prevent backflow, a preinstalled nonreturn valve on the cold supply flexi hose (F1) is already supplied (see instructions key). Hot and cold supply pressures should be as closely balanced as possible for best results. Supply pipes should maintain the maximum diameter until immediately before the fitting. The differential between the hot and cold water supply temperatures should be sufficient to allow correct mixing function. These installation guidelines have been prepared for your direction and you must exercise due care at all times. We do not accept responsibility for problems that may occur through improper installation. Whilst assembling the tap take care not to accidentally loosen any factory-fixed assemblies. This tap has been 100% assembly tested; therefore you may expect a small residual amount of water to remain in the tap when delivered. Any watermarks can be removed using the care advice.
Installation Preparation
You must install the mixer tap and filter before the boiler. Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to remove any remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of the mixertap or boiler. We recommend installing particle filters (not shown) and isolation valves (G1) to both the hot and cold feed pipes in an accessible position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any future maintenance. Ensure you have suitable domestic hot and cold water pressure before installing this product (see technical data). All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage and completeness prior to installation. Loosely position the tap, pipes and other principal supply components to check if any alterations to the existing supply pipework is required, if this is the case do this now. Shut off your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is closed. Open the lowest hot and cold taps in the house and allow the water to run until fully stopped. If replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the end of the feed pipes using wire wool, the tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant. This mixertap requires a Ø35mm tap hole, as both handles rotate backward and forwards you should allow for this distance “A” behind the tap when planning the sink and tap hole location as shown. This tap is designed to be installed in a worktop This tap is designed to be installed in a worktop with a maximum thickness of 45mm. For this product “A” should be no less that 70mm (Tap hole center to tiled wall or backsplash face).

- Please refer to ‘PROBOIL.2X User & Installation Guide’ for the next steps on how to install the boiler and connect the tap and filter. connect the tap and filter.
Install the Filter: Install the Filter:
-
Find a suitable place to mount the filter cartridge (C7) under the sink, it must be mounted vertically, easily accessible (to be changed periodically), away from any heat source or electrical connections, and close enough not to exceed the available length of the ¼” plastic pipe (B4,C4, C8) supplied to reach them between the tap, filter, and boiler (place the boiler temporarily to help judge the required lengths of ¼” plastic pipe).
-
Using the self-tapping screw (C6) securely fix the filter bracket (C5) to the cabinet wall.
-
Write the installation date onto the filter label in a permanent pen.
-
Clip the filter cartridge (C7) into the bracket (C5) as shown. You must observe the direction of flow as indicated on the filter cartridge (C7).
-
Measure and then cut the required length of ¼” pipe (C4) to connect push fit (C3) to the filter cartridge (C7) outlet, allow a small amount of extra length to make it easier to change the filter.
-
Firmly push connect the ¼” pipe (C4) between the push fit (C3) and filter cartridge outlet (C7).
-
Measure and then cut required length of ¼” pipe (C8) to connect push fit (C9) to the filter cartridge (C7) inlet,
allow a small amount of extra length to make it easier to change the filter. -
Firmly push connect the ¼” pipe (C8) between push fit (C9) and filter cartridge inlet (C7).
-
Firmly push connect the remaining ¼” pipe (B4) into pushpit (B3).
After Installation
- Ensure that the isolating Tee valve (G7) is in the closed position as shown.
- Close (turn off) both handles on the tap.
- Reconnect the domestic hot and cold water supplies and open hot and cold isolation valves (G1). As the system starts to refill, check carefully all new water connections for leaks. After the product installation is complete we recommend you recheck for any slower leaks.
- Ensure that the isolating Tee valve (G7) is in the open position as shown.
- Place the ¼” pipe (B4) from the tap into a bowl or bucket.
- Turn on the 98°C forwards handle fully, keep the lever open until all air is expelled and cold (filtered) water exits the ¼” pipe (B4) into the bowl, and flush a minimum of a further 2 liters of cold (filtered) water through the ¼” pipe (B4). You may notice a discoloration to the water at first, this is loose carbon particles from the filter it is normal, harmless, and will pass with flushing. Continue to flush the filter until the water runs clear. Once complete turn off the 98°C handles.
