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.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only 15- or 20- ampere 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.

Water supply requirements

3-prong ground-type outlet

3-prong ground plug

ground prong

power supply cord

Recommended ground method

For your personal safety, the hot water dispenser must be grounded. 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.

If local codes permit, the hot water dispenser feed line should be connected to the cold water supply line using a saddle tapping valve.

If this unit is replacing a hot water dispenser connected to a hot water supply, the existing connection may be used.

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 the magnesium rod used in household heating may produce a “rotten egg” taste.

A water filter is recommended if your water supply contains sand, grit or other particles. If a filter is used, the water pressure to the dispenser should not drop below 20 psi (138 kPa).
