IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

!

!

WARNING: Personal Injury/Property Damage. To reduce
the risk associated with hazardous voltage due to an
installer drilling through existing electric wiring in the area
of installation: Do not install near electric wiring or water
pipes which may be in path of a drilling tool when selecting
the position to mount the system bracket.

WARNING: Electric Shock Hazard Using an ungrounded
(no earth ground) or improperly connected appliance can
result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.

Important: Always arrange the power cord so that it cannot come in
contact with hot surfaces.

• Do not disconnect the product from the power supply by pulling on
the cord.

• The use of accessory attachments other than those recommended
by the manufacturer may cause safety hazards.

CAUTION: Personal Injury/Property Damage. This tank is
a non-pressurised tank. DO NOT modify this system. DO NOT
close vent tube or connect other types of taps or valves to
the tank. Use only the InSinkErator tap supplied. Use only
parts provided. Contact an authorised InSinkErator Service
agent for repairs or replacement components.

NOTICE: Property Damage. To reduce the risk associated
with property damage due to water leakage or flooding, and
to ensure optimal performance:

WARNING: To reduce the risk associated with the
ingestion of contaminants: Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.

WARNING: Fire Hazard. To minimise possibility of fire, DO
NOT store flammable items such as rags, paper or aerosol
cans near the tank. DO NOT store or use petrol or other
flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.

WARNING: Leak Hazard. Regularly inspect tap and
plumbing fittings for leaks, which can cause property
damage and could result in personal injury.

• Read and follow all instructions before installation and
use of this system.

• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local
plumbing codes.

This appliance must be earthed (grounded). This steaming
hot water tank is equipped with a cord that has a grounding
conductor and earth ground pin. The plug must be connected
to an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed
(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 tradesman if
you are in doubt as to whether the steaming hot water tank is
properly earthed (grounded).

A steaming hot water tank, like any water heater, has a limited
life and will eventually fail. To avoid possible property damage
and personal injury, this steaming hot water tank should be
regularly examined for leakage and/or corrosion 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.

Tape measure, Level, Tube Cutter

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED

Equipment Required:

• Anchors for plasterboard, Basin wrench,
Teflon tape, Hole Saw, Hole Punch

Equipment You May Need:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (HOT WATER TANK, FILTRATION SYSTEM AND TAP):

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION WHEN UTILISING FILTRATION SYSTEM:

• Make sure that all electrical, plumbing and connections conform to local codes.

• A standard, earthed (grounded) electrical outlet, with continuous supplied power, is required under the sink for the tank.

• 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®. Fuse/circuit breaker required is 10 amp for 230 or 220-240 volt and 15 amp for 120 volt.

• Do not install the filter on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this system is 38°C (100°F).
Attach the filter to the cold water supply only.

• The hot water supply should not exceed 65ºC (149ºF)

• It is recommended that a dedicated control valve be installed on the cold water line supplying water to the filter system.

• To prevent damage or unit not operating properly, the water pressure must be between 210 kPa –860 kPa (2.1 bar - 8.6 bar; 30
psi - 125 psi). Ambient (room) temperature between 4°C (40°F) and 43°C (110°F).

• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 860 kPa (125 psi).

• The use of a water filter should NOT result in the water pressure dropping below 210 kPa (30 psi).

• Do not install where water hammer conditions occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer
arrester.

• The flexible vent and outlet tubes must be correctly connected to the tap supplied by the manufacturer. They must not be
obstructed or connected to a normal type tap or any other type.

• Protect from freezing, shut off water supply, remove filter cartridge, drain hot water tank and tubing when temperatures are
expected to drop below 4°C (40°F).

• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near system, cartridges, plastic fittings or plastic plumbing.

• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount components.

• Mount system in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation.

• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed and full of water.

• When mounting components, screws provided are for use in wood studs or cabinets only. Use wall anchors (not supplied) for
installation into plasterboard.

• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.

• Do not install using rigid piping. System intended for use with plastic water lines (such as PEX tubing, PE tubing, PP tubing).

• Do not install this system if any of the quick connect collets are missing from the filter head or Quick Connectors. Contact an
authorized InSinkErator Service agent if collets are missing from any fittings.

• Important: Do not allow the unit to continuously boil.

• Regularly inspect the system. If there are signs of water leakage, turn off the water supply and contact an authorised
InSinkErator Service agent.

• 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.

• If you suspect elevated levels of chlorine in your water, or your water has a rusty appearance before the installation of this unit,
use of our water filtration system is recommended.

• This product contains stainless steel. The manufacturer cannot guarantee against rusty water because of the number of factors
that are involved beyond the manufacturer’s control. However, the sudden appearance of rusty water discharged from the hot
water tap may indicate the need for service or replacement of this product.

• Moving parts inside the tank causing a rattling noise is normal.

• For questions or concerns, please contact an authorised InSinkErator Service agent (see back page for contact information).

• The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced every 6 months, at the rated capacity or sooner if a noticeable reduction in
flow rate occurs.

• Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter performance and cracks in
the filter housing, causing water leakage or flooding.

• Protect from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 4°C (40°F).

• Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 43°C (110°F).

• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.

!

• Please refer to the Installation, Care & Use manual packaged with your hot water tank and filtration system for additional
Important Safety Information and installation instructions.

For your satisfaction and safety, read all instructions, cautions and warnings before installing or using this tap.

• This particular unit is not for commercial/industrial use.
