Installation
The boiler must be installed on a horizontal work
surface with sufficient strength to support its weight.
Locate in an area where there is adequate space to
use the boiler safely (e.g. free from risk of congestion
and tripping hazards).
Connection to Mains Water Supply:
Connect the WRAS approved water filling hose
(3/4”BSP) to the inlet connection point on the back
of the boiler and the other end to the mains water
supply, via an accessible isolating tap with a ¾”BSP
thread.
IMPORTANT: If micro-bore pipe is used instead of
the inlet hose supplied, the size must be minimum
OD 3/8”(10mm).
The water supply must have a pressure not
exceeding 7bar (96psi), and no lower than 2bar
(28psi) NOTE: If your water pressure exceeds 7bar,
fit a suitable pressure reduction valve.
We regret that Instanta cannot be held responsible
for any machine malfunctions if the water pressure
exceeds that stated. If in doubt, consult your water
supply company.
Electrical Connection:
The boiler must be Earthed.
Your machine is supplied with a standard 13amp
bonded plug with a 13amp fuse.
Overflow:
The drip-tray has a limited capacity and
is designed to handle small spillages and drips.
Wherever possible, we strongly recommend that it is
connected to a permanent waste.
We have provided two overflow outlet/connection
points to choose from;
1). The normal overflow is directed to the
drip-tray.
2). Alternative overflow is at the back of the
machine.
If the drip-tray option [1] is to be used for the
overflow, we can supply a 15mm fitting kit
(Pt. No:
DTK2) available from Instanta Spares Department
(01704 502905).
This can be fitted into the base of
the drip-tray in place of the rubber blanking plug.
If the rear overflow option is chosen [2], the front
overflow-pipe [behind curved-front panel], must be
blocked-off using the tapered-rubber blanking bung
provided. Pipe-work should then be provided
between the rear-overflow connection
[1/2”bsp-15mm] and a suitable waste/drain
[NOTE: Whichever overflow connection is chosen,
the diameter of the pipe used must be no less than
15mm and an air gap provided within 300mm of
the connection point. Failure to provide an air gap
within this distance could cause an air lock which
would stop the water discharging in the event of an
overflow].
Whilst every reasonable precaution is taken to prevent
an overflow, Instanta cannot be held responsible
for any damage caused as a result of incorrect
installation or blockage of the overflow or failure to
direct the overflow to a safe outlet.
Operation
First Use
(once water and electrical connections
have been made);
Switch boiler on.
The screen will run through an initial self-diagnostic
check before starting to fill with water (screen reads;
“BOILER FILLING”).
Once primed with water, the boiler will begin to heat
(screen reads; “BOILER HEATING”).
When the correct temperature has been reached, the
display will simply read “BOILER READY”.
The boiler will then continue in a heat/fill cycle until the
tank is at full capacity. (During the heat/fill cycle, small
amounts of water are added to ensure the water at
the tap is always at the correct temperature).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In normal daily use, the boiler
may be used as soon as the “BOILER READY”
message is displayed, but on first install, wait at
least 15 minutes before starting to use.
Regular Daily Use
Switch boiler on and wait for the screen to show
“
BOILER READY
”. The water will then be at the
correct temperature.
Dispense water by pressing button.
(CAUTION: Boiler dispenses near-boiling water).
Eco Mode / Power Saving
The ECO mode is activated by pressing the ECO
button. The screen reads “ECO MODE ACTIVE”.
This saves energy by switching the boiler operating
capacity to half volume, ideal on quiet days in the
season. Simply push the ECO button again to revert
to full capacity.
