HOT WATER DISPENSER CARE

Energy-saving tips and preparation for periods of nonuse.

On average, you will use your hot water dispenser to heat 7 to 8 cups (1.7 to 1.9 liters) of water per day. This uses only 19 kilowatt-hours of energy per month. So it is not necessary to turn off the hot water dispenser each night to conserve energy.

However, if the hot water dispenser will not be used for an extended period of time, follow these instructions:

For short periods (2-30 days of nonuse).

Set the Temperature Control to the “Off” position to conserve energy.

For long periods of nonuse (winterizing, seasonal storage or protection from freezing):

1.Turn Temperature Control to the “Off” position.

2.Unplug hot water dispenser power supply cord.

3.Turn faucet cap, hold and run water until water is cold.

4.Turn supply valve off.

5.Remove the copper faucet tube by pressing the collet down and pulling the copper faucet tube up. It is easier to push the collet down if a 1/4" or 7 mm open-end wrench is used as shown.

9.When the hot water dispenser tank is empty, reinstall the tank on the mounting bracket.

10.Reconnect the copper faucet tube and the flexible tube (See “Installing the faucet” steps 5-7).

When ready to use the dispenser again, follow “Complete Installation” steps 1-5. Do not turn unit on if tank is empty. Damage to the unit will result and is not covered by the warranty.

Cleaning the Faucet Screen

If you have very hard water, and you notice that the water flow is reduced or has become uneven, it may be necessary to clean the faucet screen.

1.Turn Temperature Control to the “Off” position. Push down and turn faucet cap clockwise and run water until it is cold to avoid possibility of burn.

2.Use a small brush and vinegar to remove hard-water deposit from the faucet screen.

3.Push down and turn faucet cap clockwise to run water briefly to remove vinegar and deposits from screen.
