4.0 - INSTALLATION
a) WATER CONNECTION
Connect the WRAS approved hose (supplied) to the back of the boiler and the other end to the
mains water supply, via an accessible isolating tap with a ¾”BSP thread.
The hose supplied with the machine is manufactured from materials which have been approved for drinking water.
Do not use washing machine hoses (usually red, black or blue) as they are not suitable for drinking water and will
cause a bad taste.
The water supply must have a pressure not exceeding 7 bar (96psi), and no lower than 2 bar
(28psi).
 If your water pressure exceeds 7-bar, fit a suitable pressure reduction valve.
INSTANTA CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MACHINE MALFUNCTION IF THE WATER
PRESSURE EXCEEDS THAT STATED. IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT YOUR WATER SUPPLY COMPANY.
Water purification filters are available to ensure fresh water. Also, scale reduction filters are
available for hard water areas. Fitting a scale reducer will help minimise scale but will not
eliminate scale completely. Please contact Instanta Spares Department 01704 502905) for
details.
b) 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 outlet
using the fitting kit provided.
If preferred, and as an alternative, the overflow can be connected from the back of the
machine using an optional rear-overflow kit (Pt No: ROFK1, available from Instanta Spares
Department 01704 502905).
IMPORTANT: Whichever overflow connection is chosen, the diameter of the pipe used must be
no less than 15mm.
Whilst 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.
c) ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your machine is supplied with a standard 3-pin bonded plug and lead with 13amp fuse.

- Switch on machine - AMBER LIGHT will illuminate to indicate that the boiler is filling
with water.

- When the boiler reaches the correct temperature the GREEN LIGHT will show that the
boiler is ready. (on initial prime, wait 10 minutes before drawing water)
