Troubleshooting
No hot or cold water from the tap.
Check that the main water supply valves are open and that the hot and cold water pipes are correctly connected to the tap.
Boiling water is not dispensing or is not hot enough.
Ensure the boiler unit is switched on and has power. Check the temperature setting on the boiler. Verify that the boiler is not experiencing scale buildup; refer to the care section for descaling.
Leaking from the tap or under the sink.
Turn off the water supply immediately. Check all plumbing connections for tightness. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.
Boiling water dispensing is slow.
This could be due to low water pressure or scale buildup in the system. Ensure your water pressure meets the minimum requirement and consider descaling the boiler unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation involves fitting the tap into your sink or worktop and connecting it to your existing hot and cold water supply. The integrated boiler unit requires a connection to a suitable electrical power source and must be plumbed into the cold water line. Professional installation is recommended to ensure all connections are secure and the system operates correctly.
Compatibility: This tap is compatible with standard kitchen sink installations. Ensure you have adequate space beneath your sink for the boiler unit and its connections. It requires a minimum water pressure of 1.5 bar for optimal performance.
Care: To maintain the Matt Black finish, clean the tap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the PVD coating. Periodically check the boiler unit for any signs of leaks or scale buildup, especially in hard water areas. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific descaling instructions if required.
