Introduction - Blanco CHOICE Icona User Manual

Introduction

Dear User,
Thank you for deciding to purchase the BLANCO CHOICE Icona mixer tap with the BLANCO CHOICE.All
water conditioning unit. This latest generation system filters and cools tap water and can carbonate it when
required, thus providing you with appetizing sparkling water. The system also produces boiling water at the
required temperature, which you can also conveniently dispense from the mixer tap. Conventional tap water
and processed water types (still/medium/sparkling and hot) are supplied from two different dispensing
points, separate from one another in the mixer tap.
The system has been designed for use in domestic households, typically in a kitchen environment.
However, it can also be used in public places, such as an office. Such cases have additional requirements
regarding cleaning and maintenance, which the owner is responsible for. Any other usage, especially
beyond its intended use, is considered misuse. BLANCO accepts no liability for any damages caused by
misuse.
This user manual describe the system and explains all its functions to you. Read through the user manual
and, in particular, the safety instructions carefully and keep these instructions together with your system.
The images and descriptions will help you understand your system. Your system may differ from the images
in some respects.
The system is designed for Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom. Use in other countries is at your own
risk and requires a check of the legal and structural specifications at the place of use.
You will find the setup instructions and installation conditions in the separate assembly instructions booklet.
Contact BLANCO Customer Service (see page 36) if you wish to install the system in a different place or
no longer have the assembly instructions. Before transporting the system, ensure that the CO cylinder has
2
been removed and the system has been emptied completely. When the system is disconnected, it may
still contain hot water inside the system or hoses, which may leak out and cause scalding or eye injuries.
Always have a professional carry out such work!
Instructions before you use the system for the first time:
Please note that the system needs time to cool the entire system down after installation. The system will
take 1 to 2 days to achieve the required cooling and sparkling performance.
After installation the air in the system gradually work its way out over the first few days. As a result, the
spray pattern of sparkling water and hot water may not yet achieve the shape and behaviour desired during
this time. However, it will correct itself over the first few days. Be aware that there is a higher risk of
splashing from the water jet on the first day and during initial usage, especially with hot water. We
recommend opening the tap and simply letting the water run the first few times until the spray pattern
has settled.
The sparkling water provided by this system is very fine-beaded and offers a different taste compared to
usual types of sparkling water with full sparkling content. If the sparkling content is considered too low,
you should first lower the temperature in the cooling unit as cooled water can absorb more CO at a
2
reduced temperature.
