Welcome to the world of filtered hot water convenience,

from In-Sink-Erator Hot Water Dispensers

Congratulations on the purchase of your new In-Sink-Erator Series 1100 Hot
Water Dispenser! This system will provide safe, filtered hot water on demand for
the ultimate in sinktop convenience.

How it works: A small tank, mounted neatly under the cabinet, maintains a 1/2 gallon

of water at near-boiling (up to 212˚F) temperature.Cool tap water is plumbed into a
valve in the dispensing faucet.When the valve is opened,the cool tap water flows
into the tank displacing the near-boiling water, which flows out of the faucet.The hot
water dispenser can be less costly than heating water on a stove-top or microwave
because the only water heated is that which is consumed!

The HC System dispenses fresh,filtered,
near-boiling water and cool drinking water.

Know what these safety symbols mean:

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which,if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

The GN System dispenses fresh,
filtered,near-boiling water only.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

The Installation, Care and Use of your new 1100 Series

In-Sink-Erator Hot Water Dispenser

Save this important safety information!

This product dispenses water at temperatures up to 212˚F,which
is hot enough to cause severe burns.Caution should be exercised
when installing and using this product. Under no circumstances is
this product to be altered in any way other than that which is
specifically addressed in these instructions. Doing so may void
your warranty.

Premature connection of the unit to an electrical supply could
result in a “dry start” condition, which could damage the unit and
void your warranty.The unit must be completely installed and the
tank must be completely full with water running from the
dispenser before plugging the unit in to an electrical supply.

Do not under any circumstances use bleach, abrasive liquids,
powders or scouring pads to clean the faucet as doing so could
void your warranty. Occasional cleaning with a soft cloth and
warm soapy water is sufficient.

A hot water dispenser,like any water heater,has limited life and
will eventually fail.To avoid possible property damage, a hot water
dispenser should be regularly examined for leakage and replaced
when necessary.A drain pan plumbed to an appropriate drain is
highly recommended in those applications where any leakage
could cause property damage.

Parts & Components

In general, you'll be installing a faucet above-sink, with a filter assembly and a heating
unit below-sink.You'll also be connecting all of the plumbing.Under the sink you'll
need a grounded electrical service outlet, a connection to the cold water line (not
included), and enough space to install the filter and tank assemblies.

Planning, Preparation and Tools

Things to check before you begin:

Can you make the cold water connection?

If not, you may want to consult a qualified plumber, and have
an appropriate plumbing fitting installed.

Do you know where you want to locate the faucet and
tank? If you have to drill through the sink or countertop, you

will need to rent or purchase the appropriate tools.
(See Step 3)

Do you have a grounded electrical outlet under the sink?

If not, you will need to have electrical service installed by a
qualified electrician. For safety, GFCI’s (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) are recommended.

Make sure you have room. Ensure that the area where you
install the dispenser allows room for the handles to actuate
fully and for the neck to swivel.About 3" of clearance behind
the dispenser faucet should be enough.

This installation should take 2 hours and be accomplished
easily,even if you have no prior electrical or plumbing
experience. Read the installation manual first, and be sure to
plan ahead for any tools or parts you may need.

To ols you may need include:

A pan or tub to catch drips, a rag or towel,a cordless drill,
phillips and flat head screwdrivers (or phillips and flat head
screwdriver bits for your cordless drill),an adjustable wrench,
pliers, a utility knife, a pencil, a ruler,a tube bender, a tube cutter, and finally cord ties
or wraps to keep the tubing and cabling tight and out of the way.
