INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
These instructions are intended as a general guide only for use by
qualified persons and do not supersede any national or local
codes in any way. Compliance with all local, state, or national
codes pertaining to this type of equipment should be determined
prior to installation.
Read this entire instruction manual, as well as the instructions
supplied in separate equipment, before starting the installation.
This hot water dispenser is not a water purifier. Some installations
may require a water filtering system to improve the quality of the
water.
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
Tools Needed
• Adjustable wrench with • Pliers
minimum opening of 1V2"
(3.8 cm) • Tube cutter
• Phillips screwdriver • 1A"or 7 mm open-end
• Tape measure • Bucket or pan
• Pencil
Faucet for the hot water dispenser requires a 1%" (3.5 cm)
diameter opening in the sink or countertop. Faucet can be
installed in the existing opening for a sink spray hose. If the
faucet is not to be installed in the sink spray hose opening or
another existing opening, it is recommended that a qualified
installer be contacted to drill the hole through your sink or
countertop. Thickness of the sink or countertop must not exceed
13/4"(4.4 cm).
Cold water supply connection must be available. See "Water
Supply Requirements."

Parts Needed
• Screws or anchors for attaching the mounting bracket to
the wall
1/4"(6.4 mm) O.D. copper or plastic tube
Saddle valve kit or other plumbing parts needed to connect
1/4"(6.4 mm) tube from the faucet easy-connect fitting to
the water supply line. If a saddle valve is used, do not use a
piercing type or 3/16"(4.8 mm) saddle valve, which reduces
water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: Saddle valve kit or other plumbing parts used must
meet all local plumbing codes and ordinaces.
Parts Supplied
Remove parts from packages. Check that all parts were included.
• Faucet assembly • Tank mounting bracket
• Water tank • Hose clamp
Grounded 3 prong outlet is required. See "Electrical
Requirements." The outlet should be located within 42"
(106.7 cm) of the hot water dispenser tank.
Plumbing connections must comply with all sanitary and
plumbing codes.
Water connections use easy-connect fittings which do not
require sealing compounds.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only the hot water dispenser be provided. Use an
outlet that cannot be turned on/off with a switch.

Recommended Grounding Method
This hot water dispenser must be grounded. This hot water
dispenser is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong
grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet,
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a
mating outlet is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to
have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified
electrical installer.
It is the customer's responsibility:
• To contact a qualified electrical installer.
• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

IM PORTANT:
• 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 the hot water line is not recommended. Energy
will be wasted in heating the water twice and may produce an
undesirable taste.
• A water filter is recommended if your water supply contains
sand, grit or other particles, or has a known taste or odor
issue. If a water filter system is used, the water pressure to
the hot water dispenser system from the filter needs to be a
minimum of 20 psi (138 kPa) for proper operation.
• If the water pressure to the hot water dispenser system is less
than 20 psi (138 kPa), performance may be affected.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This hot water dispenser is shipped in one package. • If damage is found, it should be noted on the carrier's freight
Upon receipt of the hot water dispenser, inspect it for
possible shipping damage. Examine the hot water dispenser
inside the carton if the carton is damaged.
NOTE: The hot water dispenser is not a water purifier. Some
installations may require a water filtering system to improve the
quality of the water.
1. Determine the final location of the hot water dispenser faucet.
Check below the sink to verify that reinforcing ribs, support
brackets or cabinet construction will not interfere with the hot
water dispenser faucet.
2. To prepare the sink or countertop for installation, perform one
of the following:
• Remove the plug from the sink.
• Use an existing opening inthe sink or countertop.
• Cut a hole in the sink or countertop.
NOTE: It is recommended that only a licensed plumber or
professional installer should cut a hole in the sink or
countertop.
3.
Straighten tube so that it will go through the hole in the sink
or countertop.
4.
Remove the nut, metal washer and rubber washer from the

Push down and turn the faucet cap clockwise to open the
faucet. Hold the cap inthis position until water flows from the
faucet (approximately 1 to 11/2minutes). Water flowing from
the faucet signals that the hot water dispenser tank is filled.
16. Open the water line to the faucet.
17. Check for leaks.
3. Release faucet cap.
4. Check for leaks.
NOTE: Make sure the Temperature Control is in the Off position
before connecting the hot water dispenser to the power supply. If
the tank is empty and the Temperature Control is in the On
position when the power is connected, the hot water dispenser
will overheat, and permanently damage the hot water dispenser.
Electrical Shock Hazard
