We are delighted that you have chosen the InSinkErator®Instant Hot Water Dispenser
to be a part of your home. This unique appliance will save you time and effort in the
kitchen, and you’ll enjoy discovering new uses for it each day. That’s exactly why
millions of people are now using an InSinkErator Instant Hot Water Dispenser.
We are confident that by following our step-by-step instructions, you’ll soon be enjoying
the convenience of instant hot water.
For your satisfaction and safety, read all instructions, cautions, warnings and dangers before installing
or using this instant hot water dispenser.
This particular unit is not intended for commercial use.
Make sure that all electrical wiring and connections conform to local codes.
A standard 120-volt grounded electrical outlet is required under the sink for the dispenser’s electrical power.
The wall outlet powering your dispenser must have power supplied to it continuously.
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®.
It is recommended that a dedicated control valve be installed on the cold water line supplying water
to this system.
If you suspect elevated levels of chlorine in your water, it is recommended to use our water
filtration system.
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.
Moving parts inside the tank causing a rattling noise is normal.

WARRANTY INFORMATION
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.
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.
11
Electric Shock Hazard: To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before
servicing unit. Use only a properly grounded and polarized electric outlet.
CARE AND USE
Scalding Hazard: Do not allow

200˚F. To reset the thermostat
to 200°, turn the indicator two
notches to the right of vertical.
Adjust the thermostat
slowly, turning the dial
clockwise to increase
temperature or 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.
ADJUSTING THE THERMOSTAT
Only use mild cleaners to clean the faucet
and plastic components.
Cleaners with acids, abrasives, alkaline or
organic solvents will result in deterioration of
the plastic components and void the warranty.
CLEANING THE FAUCET AND TANK
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.
