WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Q For your satisfaction and safety, read all instructions, cautions, warnings and dangers before installing
or using this instant hot water dispenser.
Q This particular unit is not intended for commercial use.
Q Make sure that all electrical wiring and connections conform to local codes.
Q A standard 120-volt grounded electrical outlet is required under the sink for the dispenser’s electrical power.
Q The wall outlet powering your dispenser must have power supplied to it continuously.
Q 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
Q It is recommended that a dedicated control valve be installed on the cold water line supplying water
to this system.
Q If you suspect elevated levels of chlorine in your water, it is recommended to use our water
filtration system.
Q 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.
Q Moving parts inside the tank causing a rattling noise is normal.

and that there are no leaks.
Water will be cold at first.
Allow 12-15 minutes for water to reach
target temperature.
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.
Gurgling or hissing is normal during the
initial heating cycle.
If the water coming from the faucet is not hot 15 minutes after the unit
has been plugged in – or for other issues related to the operation of your
instant hot water dispenser – refer to the “Troubleshooting” section on Page 14.
10
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.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Dispenser: 5-year warranty
Stainless Steel Tank: 3-year warranty
Filtration System: 1-year warranty (excluding replaceable filter cartridge)
Covers all replacement parts and labor to correct defects in material or workmanship in the
dispenser system, excluding the replaceable filter cartridge, for the full warranty period from
the date of installation in your home. If warranty service is required during the warranty period,
contact an authorized InSinkErator service agent to replace or repair the unit in your home at
no cost to you. If your dispenser is replaced rather than repaired, the warranty on the new unit
shall be for the duration of the remaining portion of the original dispenser’s warranty. Note:
Warranty is determined by unit serial number and/or date of installation. Purchase or
installation receipt may be required to verify warranty status. 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.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the
exclusion or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or
exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights which vary from state to state.

counter clockwise to decrease temperature, then
activate faucet handle for 20 seconds to bring in
fresh water to be heated at the new setting. Allow
5-7 minutes for water to reach new temperature.
Scalding Hazard: Do not allow
water to boil. May result in
severe burns.
approx. 200°

Q
Cleaners with acids, abrasives, alkaline or
organic solvents will result in deterioration of
the plastic components and void the warranty.
FILTER GUIDE AND REPLACEMENT
Replace filter cartridge when there is an obvious
decrease in water flow to the faucet or if there is an
objectionable taste or odor to the water.
When the inlet and outlet ports have been closed
and the filter’s internal pressure has been relieved,
water (about 2 oz) will discharge from vent line.
If the new filter cartridge cannot be inserted,
insert the old one and turn until it stops, remove it
and then retry the new cartridge.
Carbon filters should be replaced within 12 months.
Filter replacement instructions:
Q
Replace with an InSinkErator®filter.
Q
Place pan or dish towel under the filter to
catch water drainage during change.
Q
Slowly turn the cartridge counter-clockwise
completely until it stops (1/4 turn).
Q
Pull cartridge straight down and discard.
Q
Insert new cartridge into filter head.
Q
Top surface of cartridge will become flush
with the bottom of the filter head when
fully engaged.
Q
Turn the cartridge clockwise until it stops
(1/4 turn).
Q
Align the in/out arrow on the head and
bracket assembly to the in/out arrow on
the cartridge.
QQ Open faucet to expel trapped air.
QQ Run water for 3 minutes before usage.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Q
Regularly inspect the unit for any signs of
leakage. If there are signs of water damage,
immediately remove the unit from service.
Q
To avoid water damage from leakage,
replace all cut, loose or split tubing.
Q
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.

FILTRATION INFORMATION
The InSinkErator®Instant Hot Water Dispenser Filtration System is intended for use in filtering
sediment, chlorine taste and odor from drinking water, and has not been evaluated for other
uses. The system is typically installed (near or beneath a sink) where filtered drinking water is
desired, and must be installed, operated and maintained as specified in the installation and
use instructions.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop below 40°F (4.4°C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (828 kPa). If your water pressure
exceeds 120 psi, you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer
conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature
of this filter system is 100°F (38°C).
• The disposable filter cartridge must be replaced every twelve months or at the
specified service cycle.
• Read and follow instructions before installation and use of this system.
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminates due to use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality, do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
