TROUBLESHOOTING

ADJUSTING THE THERMOSTAT

Factory temperature pre-set	approx. 200°
is 200˚F. To reset the
thermostat to 200°, turn
the indicator two notches
to the right of vertical.

■Adjust the thermostat slowly, turning the dial clockwise to increase temperature or counter clockwise to decrease temperature, then activate faucet handle for 20 seconds to bring in fresh water to be heated at the new setting. Allow 5-7 minutes for water to reach new temperature.

Scalding Hazard: Do not allow water to boil. May result in severe burns.

SEASONAL STORAGE/DRAINAGE

Anytime the instant hot water dispenser is not used for extended periods of time, unplug and drain unit. If it is below freezing you will need to unplug the unit and drain it.

■Disconnect power from unit.

■Push hot water dispenser faucet lever and allow water to flow until it is cool.

■Shut the cold water supply off at the valve.

■Locate and remove drain screw from bottom center of water tank and drain the water into empty pail.

■Empty the tank and then reinstall drain screw into the bottom of tank, turning until snug. Do NOT over tighten.

■If filter system installed, remove and discard filter cartridge.

■To put back into working order, install new filter cartridge (if required), fill tank with water and reconnect the electrical cord. (Refer to Page 10, Step 6)

CLEANING THE FAUCET AND TANK

■Only use mild cleaners to clean the faucet and plastic components.

■Cleaners with acids, abrasives, alkaline or organic solvents will result in deterioration of the plastic components and void the warranty.

PROPERTY DAMAGE

■Regularly inspect the unit for any signs of leakage. If there are signs of water damage, immediately remove the unit from service.

■To avoid water damage from leakage, replace all cut, loose or split tubing.

■A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage.

PERSONAL INJURY

■Regularly check for signs of corrosion by examining the appearance of the dispensed water.

■If there is any discoloration or rusty appearance, unplug and drain unit as described in the Seasonal Storage/Drainage section on this page of the manual.

■If the water discoloration remains after draining and refilling unit, discontinue use and contact an authorized InSinkErator service agent.

For fresher tasting water, add filtration to your instant hot water dispenser system. InSinkErator offers the only water filtration system designed specifically for instant hot water dispensers. For more information, visit www.insinkerator.com.
