INSTALLATION
WARNING
The appliance should be secured to the counter top to prevent accidental
moving of the appliance and the splashing of hot liquid on the operator.
1.3. INSTALLATION TO COUNTER
After the appliance is in its permanent location, check the levelness. Level the counter as needed.
The appliance must be sealed to the counter to comply with applicable sanitation standards. A bead
of silicone sealant, approximately ½ inch wide, is to be applied to the bottom of the unit approximately
¼” in from the front, back and side edges. We suggest Dow Corning ®, GE ® or Permatex ® silicone
‘RTV’ adhesive sealant or equivalent. (See NSF Basic Criteria C-2 for details). This appliance also
has four 3/8” holes in its base that are intended for the optional use of fasteners when securing the
appliance to a counter.
WARNING
DO NOT perform leveling procedure when appliance is in
operation or full of hot liquids. Serious injury could result.
1.4. PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
The plumbing installation should be done by a licensed plumber and must comply with local and
national codes.
1.4.1. WATER INLET CONNECTIONS
If a faucet or water fill option is equipped on your appliance connections to a potable water supply
will be required. If a single water connection is required it is recommended that the appliance is
connected to hot water supply. This will greatly decrease the time it takes for the appliance to
reach operating temperature. Prior to installation, a water treatment specialist should inspect the
water supply. Water hardness should contain no more then 2.0 grains/gallon. The pH level
should be between 6.5 and 8.0. These conditions can be obtained with the use of a properly
maintained water softener. The incoming water pressure should be between 20 psi (1.38 bars) to
60 psi (4.14 bars). For higher water pressures, a high-pressure regulator must be installed to
inlet plumbing to avoid damage caused by water hammer. The maximum allowable incoming
water temperature is 180°F (82°C). Have your water tested and record the measured values
below.
Water Quality Checklist
Measured Range OK
Temperature 180°F (82°C) Max.
Hardness 2.0 Grains/Gal. Max.
pH 6.5 to 8.0
Pressure 20 psi to 60 psi
1.4.2. DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Each tank has a drain that can be inserted into a drainage system. Each tank may also have an
overflow line. The overflow connection is after the drain valve to provide an unobstructed
overflow path. The drain and/or overflow line for each tank may be connected together to form a
common drain line. Drain connections for this appliance will be either 1NPT or 1” ID tubing.
When water is at a high
temperature and high
pressure, excessive
splashing of hot water
may occur that could
result in injury.
