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 15or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the hot water dispenser be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned on/off with a switch.
Recommended Grounding Method
This hot water dispenser must be grounded. This hot water dispenser is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrical installer.
It is the customer's responsibility:
■To contact a qualified electrical installer.
■To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

WaterSupplyRequirements
If local codes permit, the hot water dispenser faucet tube should be connected to ¹⁄ " (6.4 mm) tube (not provided), which is connected to the cold water supply line using a saddle valve (not provided) or another means to connect the ¹⁄ " (6.4 mm) tube to the cold water supply line. If a saddle valve is used, do not use a piercing type or ³⁄ " (4.8 mm) 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 the 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), performance may be affected.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
