4.0 INSTALLATION
Qualified personnel must carry out all installation work.
4.1
WORK SURFACES AND LOCATION:
a) Ensure that the work surface upon which the appliance is to be sited is capable of
sustaining the working weight of the appliance:
o
Total Boiler weight when full = 175kg
b) The work surface must have a minimum depth of 600mm
c)
Consideration
should
be
given
for
servicing
requirements
– If
electrical/water/waste services are brought up through the work surface, ensure
there is sufficient cable slack and movement for the flexible inlet hose/ overflow pipe,
to allow access in the event of maintenance/service work.
d) Location of boiler - Ensure that access to the appliance is unrestricted to allow
safe user operation
e) Avoid obstruction of the vent hole in the top lid. Do not site the appliance directly
beneath wall cupboards, other wall mounted appliances and low ceilings that are
susceptible to damage from steam/water vapour.
4.2
WATER CONNECTION
Your machine has been supplied with a WRAS approved non-toxic hose for
connection to a suitable drinking water supply. The fittings are ¾” BSP.
A 15mm stop valve should be fitted between the water supply and the hose so that
the machine can be isolated.
The water supply must have a pressure not exceeding 7.0bar (96psi) and no
lower than 2bar (28psi).
If your water pressure exceeds 7bar, a suitable pressure
reduction valve will need to be fitted to the water supply to bring it to a level that the
machine can cope with. If in doubt, consult your water supply company.
In hard water areas it is advisable to fit a scale reducer to limit scale deposits.
Important: We regret that Instanta cannot be held responsible for scale related
problems or for machine malfunction where the water pressure exceeds or is less
than the limits above.
4.3
OVERFLOW/WASTE
Due to advanced electronic features on the appliance it is unlikely that an overflow
will occur. However, during normal operation and under certain conditions, small
quantities of water vapour and steam are emitted from the rear vent/overflow
connection. This vent/overflow connection MUST be directed to a suitable waste.
