IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety

This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children without supervision.

Qualifications
If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by a qualified technician. To avoid hazards, all installation procedures must be carried out by a suitably qualified tradesperson.

Venting
Occasionally steam and/or boiling water may discharge through a vent outlet or the tap. Ensure the tap body is located so the tap outlet safely dispenses into the drip tray or sink bowl area, and the vent is plumbed to a safe location.

Lifting
Take care when lifting. The appliance may exceed safe lifting limits. If you feel this is beyond your capabilities, please seek assistance with the lift. Do not lift the appliance by the tap or any of its connections. Refer to the Technical specification for the weight of the product.

Positioning
Ensure the appliance is positioned in an accessible area. The appliance must be installed upright, with its base in a horizontal position.

Frost protection
If the appliance is located where ambient air temperature could fall below 5ºC when the appliance is not in use, do not turn it off electrically. This safeguard does not offer the same protection to the connecting pipework and fittings.

Warning: This appliance must be earthed
Do not turn ON electrical power until instructed. Water must be available from the tap outlet to prevent damage. Water dispensed during commissioning may be boiling.

Check to earth
Earthing continuity must be tested by a qualified technician using a resistance meter with a minimum accuracy of 5% full-scale deflection.

• Ensure electrical power is OFF.
• Verify meter ohms range, and connect leads, the reading should be 0 ohms.
• Hold one test lead to the earth of the power lead.
• Hold the other test lead on a cover fixing screw, then the tap.
• Verify that in every instance the electrical resistance does not exceed 1 ohm.

Check water connections

• Turn ON the mains water supply. Water will flow into the
• Hydrofoil. Check connections and repair any leaks.
• Depress the tap lever into the locked open position. Allow the tank to fill until water flows from the tap outlet.
• Once water is available from the tap, close the tap to stop the water flow.

Turn ON the electrical power
Boiling Calibration will commence. The tank will fill and heat. Allow 15-30 minutes for the water to reach boiling set temperature.
