We are delighted that you have chosen the InSinkErator® Instant Hot Water Dispenser to be a part of your home. This unique appliance will save you time and effort in the kitchen, and you’ll enjoy discovering new uses for it each day. That’s exactly why millions of people are now using an InSinkErator Instant Hot Water Dispenser.
We are confident that by following our step-by-step instructions, you’ll soon be enjoying the convenience of instant hot water.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN
■For your satisfaction and safety, read all instructions, cautions, warnings and dangers before installing or using this instant hot water dispenser.
■This particular unit is not intended for commercial use.
■Make sure that all electrical wiring and connections conform to local codes.
■A standard 120-volt grounded electrical outlet is required under the sink for the dispenser’s electrical power.
■The wall outlet powering your dispenser must have power supplied to it continuously.
■This outlet must be fused and should not be controlled by the same wall switch that operates the disposer, unless you have a SinkTop Switch™ from InSinkErator®.
■It is recommended that a dedicated control valve be installed on the cold water line supplying water to this system.
■If you suspect elevated levels of chlorine in your water, it is recommended to use our water filtration system.
■The use of a water filter should NOT result in the water pressure to drop below 30 psi (207kPa). If it does, this will prevent your unit from operating properly.
■Moving parts inside the tank causing a rattling noise is normal.
WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED
Equipment Required:
■ Drill |
■ Phillips and flat blade screwdrivers |
■ T-fitting |
■ Pencil |
■ Dedicated control valve |
■ Tape measure |
■ Adjustable wrench |
■ Level |
Equipment You May Need:
■ Anchors for drywall |
■ Basin wrench |
■ Hole saw |
■ Hole punch |
If you intend to use the sprayer hole in your sink for your dispenser, you may need a basin wrench and a 1/8" plug or a 1/4" cap (not supplied) for the faucet spray hose line. See Step 1-B.
If you need to cut a mounting hole in your stainless steel sink, you may need a 11⁄4" - 11⁄2" hole saw made for cutting stainless steel or a hole punch. Consult a professional if you are drilling into a surface other than stainless steel.

Property Damage: A standard grounded outlet within 30" of the dispenser is required under the sink. Do not use an extension cord set with the dispenser.
■Check all connections to ensure they are tight and that there are no leaks.
■Plug in instant hot water tank.
Water will be cold at first.
Allow 12-15 minutes for water to reach target temperature.
Gurgling or hissing is normal during the initial heating cycle.
11
Electric Shock Hazard: Using an ungrounded or improperly connected appliance can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
This appliance must be grounded. This instant hot water dispenser is equipped with a cord that has a grounding conductor and a grounding pin. The plug must be connected to an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the instant hot water dispenser is properly grounded.
Personal Injury: This tank is a non-pressurized tank. DO NOT modify this system.
DO NOT close vent tube or connect other type dispensers or valves to the tank. Use only the InSinkErator dispenser faucet supplied. Use only parts provided. Contact an authorized InSinkErator Service agent for repairs or replacement components.
Fire Hazard: To minimize possibility of fire, DO NOT store flammable items such as rags, paper or aerosol cans near the tank. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Property Damage: To avoid water damage, replace any loose or split tubing. Periodically inspect the unit for any signs of leakage and immediately remove from service any unit suspected of leaking.
An instant hot water dispenser, like any water heater, has a limited life and will eventually fail. To avoid possible property damage, this instant hot water dispenser should be regularly examined for leakage and replaced when necessary. 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.

When service is required, and for the location of your nearest factory authorized service center, call toll free 1-800-558-5700.
The foregoing warranty does not apply to damage or inoperation resulting from accident, alteration, misuse, abuse, improper installation, installation not in accordance with these instructions or local electrical and/or plumbing codes. We do not assume any responsibility for consequential damage. Install using genuine InSinkErator® manufactured components only. Use of non InSinkErator components will void your warranty.
