WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• 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.

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

• 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.

• In Australia and New Zealand, all plumbing and electrical work must be completed by a qualified tradesperson. The installation
must conform to AS/NZS3500.4 and AS/NZS3000.

• 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). If your water pressure exceeds 550 kPa (80 psi), you must install
a pressure limiting valve. In Australia and New Zealand, a Watermark certified AS/NZS2845.1 350 kPa (50 psi) set pressure
limiting valve and dual check valve must be used.

• 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).

CARE AND USE

CAUTION: Electric Shock Hazard. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before servicing unit. Use only a

properly earthed and polarised electric outlet.

!

NOTICE

• Regularly inspect the unit for any signs of leakage. If there are signs of water damage, immediately remove the unit from service.

• An instant hot water dispenser, like any water heater, has a limited life and will eventually fail. To avoid possible property
damage, the instant hot water dispenser should be regularly examined for leakage and replaced when necessary.
A drainage 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.

CLEANING THE TAP

• Use only mild cleaners to clean the tap and
plastic components.

CAUTION: PERSONAL INJURY

!

• Regularly check for signs of corrosion by examining the
appearance of the dispensed water.

• Cleaners with acids, abrasives, alkaline or organic solvents
will result in deterioration of the plastic components and
void the warranty.

• If the water discolouration remains after draining and
refilling the unit, discontinue use and contact an authorised
InSinkErator service agent.
