3.Release faucet cap. Check for leaks.

NOTE: Make sure the Temperature Control is in the “Off” position before plugging hot water dispenser into power supply. If tank is empty and thermostat is in an “On” position when the power supply cord is connected, the heater will overheat causing an unpleasant taste, black specks in the water, and permanent damage to the hot water dispenser.

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.

4.Once water is flowing from faucet, the water heating tank has been filled with water. Plug power supply cord into grounded 3 prong outlet.

5.Turn Temperature Control clockwise to highest position.

Water in tank will reach maximum temperature in about 15 minutes.

NOTES:

•When water is heating, you may hear gurgling noises coming from the tank.

•There may also be a small amount of spitting or hot water flow from the faucet. This is normal for the initial heat-up of the dispenser.

•The Temperature Control controls tank heater, not water delivery. Rotate Temperature Control clockwise to make water hotter, counterclockwise to lower water temperature.

•Turn Temperature Control to lower temperature setting if you notice vapor or hear boiling noise.

HOT WATER DISPENSER USE

Before first use:

After the tank has been in operation for a minimum of 15 minutes, push and turn the faucet cap and allow water to flow for about 1 minute. Release the faucet cap and allow the water to reheat for about 15 minutes prior to use.

Check that all installation steps were completed.

The Whisper Quiet® System helps to maintain a quiet home environment during the operation of the hot water dispenser.

Temperature control

The water temperature is thermostatically controlled. It can be adjusted from “Off” to about 190°F (88°C).

To raise or lower the temperature, turn the Temperature Control. The “Max” setting is recommended for best performance. However, under certain conditions, it is possible for the water to boil when the Temperature Control is set at “Max.” If you see any vapor or hear boiling, turn Temperature Control to lower temperature as necessary.

Dispensing hot water

Push down and turn the faucet cap clockwise and hold until desired amount of hot water is obtained. There is a small delay from the time the faucet cap is turned until hot water is dispensed. This delay is normal.
