Before You Start
Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. 
42" (106.7 cm) max. — electrical outlet to hot water dispenser tank.
Check location where hot water dispenser will be installed. Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with installation specifications and with state and local plumbing codes.
Spout requires a 1-1/16" (2.7 cm) to 1-3/8" (3.5 cm) diameter opening in sink or countertop. Spout can be installed in place of sink spray hose. For other installations, contact a qualified installer for best procedure to drill a hole through your type of sink or countertop. Thickness of sink or countertop hole must not exceed 1-1/8" (2.9 cm).
Cold water supply connection must be available. (See “Water supply requirements,” Page 5.)
Grounded electrical outlet is required. (See “Electrical requirements,” Page 5.) The outlet should be located within 42" (106.7 cm) of hot water dispenser tank.
If spout is not to be installed in sink spray hose opening, contact a qualified installer for the best procedure for cutting a spout opening in your type of sink or countertop.
Plumbing connections must comply with all sanitary and plumbing codes.
Do Not store or operate hot water dispenser below 32°F (0°C).
Do Not use pipe sealing compounds. They may get inside dispenser and cause an unpleasant taste or smell.
Water connections use quickconnect fittings which Do Not require sealing compounds to keep them from leaking.
Temperature Control must be turned to “Off” position and the dispenser tank filled before connecting to electrical supply.
This hot water dispenser is Not a water purifier. Some installations may require a water filtering system to improve the quality of water.

Electrical requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only 15or 20ampere fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your hot water dispenser be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned on/off by a switch.
Water supply requirements
If local codes permit, the hot water dispenser feed line should be connected to the cold water supply line using a saddle tapping valve.
Important: If local codes Do Not permit the use of saddle valves, special feed valves can be obtained from your local plumbing supply distributor.
Connection to hot water line is not recommended. Energy will be wasted in heating the water twice and the magnesium rod used in household heating may produce a “rotten egg” taste.
3-prong ground-type outlet
3-prong ground plug
ground prong
power supply cord
Recommended ground method
For your personal safety, the hot water dispenser must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into mating, 3-prong, groundtype outlet, grounded in accordance with all national and local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
If this unit is replacing a hot water dispenser connected to a hot water supply, the existing connection may be used.
A water filter is recommended if your water supply contains sand, grit or other particles. If a filter is used, the water pressure to the dispenser should not drop below 20 psi (138 kPa).

NOTE: Turn Temperature Control to “Off” position before plugging hot water dispenser into power supply. If tank is empty and thermostat is in an “On” position when the
power supply cord is connected, the heater will overheat causing an unpleasant taste, black specks in the water, and permanent damage to the heater seals.
16.Plug power supply cord into grounded 3-prong outlet.
Turn Temperature Control clockwise to highest position.
Water in tank will reach maximum temperature in approximately
15 minutes.
When water is heating, you may hear gurgling noises coming from the tank. There may also be some spitting or
hot water flow from the faucet. This is normal for the initial heat-up of the dispenser.
Turn Temperature Control to lower temperature setting if you notice vapor or hear boiling noise.
NOTE: Temperature Control controls tank heater, not water delivery. Rotate Temperature Control clockwise to raise water temperature, counterclockwise to
lower water temperature. |

Using Your Hot Water Dispenser
Before using the first time
Check that installation steps 14-16 were completed.
The hot water dispenser can be permanently damaged if these steps are not followed.
Temperature control
The water temperature is thermostatically controlled. It can be adjusted from “Off” to approximately 190°F (88°C).
To raise or lower the temperature, turn the Temperature Control. The “Max” setting is recommended for
best performance. However, under certain conditions, it is possible for the water to boil when the Temperature Control is set at “Max.” If you see any vapor or hear boiling, turn Temperature Control to lower temperature as necessary.
Dispensing hot water
Push down and turn the On/Off Cap clockwise and hold until desired amount of hot water is obtained. You can control the flow of water by how
far you turn the cap. For maximum flow, turn cap until it stops. Release the On/Off Cap to turn off water.
Hot water dispenser uses
Regardless of what food you are preparing, you’ll appreciate the convenience and time saved by your hot water dispenser. The dispenser allows you to draw the amount of hot
water you require [up to 2 quarts (1.9 liters) at one time]. It eliminates the need to heat a full teakettle for a cup of hot water.
Preparing instant foods and drinks
Instant foods that require only 190°F (88°C) water for complete preparation include:
|
coffee |
|
soup or bouillon |
|
frosting mix |
