Installation Instructions

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only 15 or 20 amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your hot water dispenser be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned on/off by a switch.

Recommended ground method

This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into mating, 3 prong, ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with all national and local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Water Supply Requirements

If local codes permit, the hot water dispenser feed line should be connected to the cold water supply line using a saddle valve or another means for providing a 1/4" tube to connect to the dispenser. If a saddle valve is used, do not use a piercing type or 3/16" saddle valve, which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

IMPORTANT: If local codes do not permit the use of saddle valves, special feed valves can be obtained from your local plumbing supply distributor.

Connection to hot water line is not recommended. Energy will be wasted in heating the water twice and may produce an undesirable taste.

A water filter is recommended if your water supply contains sand, grit or other particles, or has a known taste or odor issue. If a water filter system is used, the water pressure to the hot water dispenser system from the filter needs to be a minimum of 20 psi (138 kPa) for proper operation. If the water pressure to the hot water dispenser system is less than 20 psi (138 kPa), a booster pump can be added.

IMPORTANT: If the water pressure to the hot water dispenser system is less than 20 psi (138 kPa), performance may be affected.

Please complete the “Record your model’s information” section on the front cover before beginning installation.

This hot water dispenser is not a water purifier. Some installations may require a water filtering system to improve the quality of water.

Installing the Faucet

1.Determine where you will install your hot water dispenser. Check below sink to assure that reinforcing ribs, support brackets or cabinet construction will not interfere with faucet.

2.Knock out plug from hole in sink or cut a hole in sink or countertop.

NOTE: It is recommended that only a licensed plumber or professional installer cut an opening in the sink or countertop.

3.Carefully straighten tubing so that it will go through hole in sink or countertop.

4.Remove nut, metal washer and rubber washer from faucet. Do not remove rubber o-ring in bottom of faucet base.
