• 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.

• 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).
