OPERATION OF THE BOILING WATER CENTRAL KNOB
When you start using the Kettle Tap, always flush a cupful of residual water prior to making tea or coffee.
This will eliminate the air bubbles from the surface water of your drink. Caution: The tap delivers boiling
water (at 100˚C) at all times, and care should be taken to avoid scalding.
This appliance is not intended for use by children, users with a physical or mental disability or users with
insufficient knowledge, unless they have received adequate instruction on the operation of the appliance by a
person who is responsible for their safety. Children must not play with the appliance under any circumstances.
Operation of the boiling water function
1. It is advisable to hold your cup, teapot or saucepan close to the outlet of the tap spout.
This will prevent the water from splashing and enable you to operate the Kettle Tap safely.
2. Press the release button and turn the knob.
NB: Releasing the button of the handle will immediately shut off the boiling water supply.
Operation of the Hot/Cold Lever
Utilise the vertical lever in the conventional way for the supply of normal hot, cold or mixed water.
Child safety
The tap is fitted with a childproof control knob which requires a push and turn action to operate it.
Caution:
The temperature of the
water is 100°C therefore
care should be taken to
avoid scalding!
INSTALLATION OF FRANKE MINERVA 3-IN-1 KETTLE TAP
Caution: This boiling water tap must only be connected to the Franke Heating Tank.
Preparation
1. Mount the Franke Heating Tank (see separate Installation manual).
