supplied)
• 35mm diameter hole saw for timber bench tops (not supplied)
• Nut runner tube spanner (supplied) for fixing tap assembly.
Special tools required
Installation
Step A - Installing the tap
The vertical distance between the base of the Tap
assembly and the top of the Command Centre must be
BETWEEN 400 - 900mm. Failure to install within these
parameters may result in poor water delivery.
1. Make sure that the tap location will allow the nozzle to drain into
the sink.
2. Cut a 35mm hole in the bench / sink top.
3. Install the black plastic spacer to the base of the tap and ensure
it remains in place as this is the moisture seal against the bench /
sink top. A light smearing of silicon sealant on the underside of the
spacer will ensure a watertight fit.
4. Pass the hoses through the 35mm hole and carefully locate the
Head Assembly and black spacer on the bench / sink area.
5. From the underside of the bench / sink area re-locate the S/S
washer and “Spider Clamp” by feeding each of the tubes and
electrical cable evenly in between the legs of the “Spider Clamp”.
Slide it up to meet the “All Thread”, and pass the “All Thread”
through the centre of the “Spider Clamp”.
6. Hold the “All Thread” steady and re-fit the 6mm nut to the “All
Thread” using the tube spanner supplied in the kit. Check the Tap
Head position before securing it tightly against the bench / sink
top.
Under no circumstances should the Tap be twisted after the
installation is complete.

Installation
Step B - Installing the filter
Miniboil is supplied with an external filter (see diagram below). It is
important the filter be securely fixed adjacent to the under sink unit in
such a manner as to allow for easy access to the filter, for service and
regular replacement.
The ¼” LDPE tube supplied must be carefully measured and cut to
allow for the connection of the filter, double check valve and JG
fittings.
Step C - Installing the Command Centre
Position the Command Centre as close as possible to the tap.
The connection tubes supplied with the tap assembly CANNOT be
lengthened.
Allow at least a 50 mm air-gap to the RHS for air circulation.
Allow a 70 mm clearance on the LHS of the appliance to ensure the
power lead is free from external force.
IMPORTANT: Proper air circulation and adequate
cupboard ventilation is necessary for efficient
operation.
Adjust cupboard door hinges and attach the supplied silicone
door buffers to create a 4 mm air-gap between the doors and the
cupboard. This is the minimum ventilation requirement for low
usage installations. Failure to do this may cause the appliance to
overheat and operate inefficiently.
Step D - Connecting the water supply
To prevent sediment from the in-wall plumbing entering the
Command Centre at connection, flush water through the supply line
thoroughly before connection.
!
Filter assembly sequence: (see Fig 2)
Fit the pressure limiting valve to the outlet side of the
isolating valve (not supplied).
Mount the filter and flush valve assemblies in a convenient
position using the angle bracket supplied.
Connect the filter assembly plumbing between the
pressure limiting valve and the inlet of the Command
Centre using the ¼” JG fittings supplied (see Fig 1). Take
note of the flow direction, marked with an arrow on the top
of the filter head.
Ensure the flush valve is accessible after installation as this
will be required to flush water through the filter, when the
filter is installed or changed.

Installation
Filter insertion and replacement (Fig 3)
Align the tabs of the cartridge with the filter housing and insert it up
into the socket.
Turn the cartridge a quarter turn to the right until it locks into position.
Reverse this procedure for removal.
Step E - Connecting the tap
• Trim excess silicone tubes to ensure a continuous fall back to
the Command Centre.
• New hose sets supplied with the unit should be used. Do not
use old hose sets.
• Do not loop or allow sagging or kinking of the tubes, to
prevent water from being trapped inside.
• When connecting, slide the tube over the pipe at least 15mm.
Measure and trim the Red silicone tube and connect it to the BOILING
outlet located on the top of the Command Centre.
Measure and trim the CLEAR silicone tube and connect it to the vent
outlet located on the top of the Command Centre.
For Boiling Ambient models, measure and trim the blue LDPE tube and
connect it to the AMBIENT outlet located on the top of the Command
Centre (see Fig 4).
Connect the tap USB connector to the USB lead on the Command
Centre. It should be fitted together tightly until a "click" is felt. Failure to
fully insert the connector will prevent tap operation. Once connected,
fix the cable to the wall, ensuring it is off the floor and away from any
possible water splashes.
Turn on water and check for leaks.
Step F - Testing and commissioning
The appliance is now running in normal operating mode. The Red LED
will flash until factory set temperature is reached.
Filter flush
When commissioning, it is advisable to flush the filter for several
minutes to remove any fine filter particles. Use a bucket to collect and
dispose of the waste water.
To flush the filter, first turn on the water supply and then turn on the
flush valve (see Fig 6.). Discharge approximately 7.5L of water into the
bucket.
Once the filter has been flushed, turn the flush valve off.
Wait 5 minutes after this point to allow adequate fill time.
The unit is now ready for use. Test water delivery from the tap and
check for appropriate temperatures. Use cable clips to tidy and secure
wiring.
