GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For your protection, the Waring™ Commercial Hot Water Dispenser
is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a molded 3-prong
grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a
properly connected grounding-type outlet, as shown in Figure 1.
If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in
Figure 2, may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used
with a 3-prong plug. Referring to Figure 3, the adapter must be
grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the
outlet cover plate.

* Tomlinson®, No-Drip® and the Fa ucet and H andle configurations are registered tr ademark s of The Meyer Compa ny, Clevelan d, Ohio.

4

CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the
outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a
licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is
properly grounded.

NOTE: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
(1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the
longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.

The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated, dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufcient magnitude
to constitute a risk of re or electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.

that moving or lifting the unit be done by two people to avoid injury.
Carefully unpack the machine and make sure there was no damage
during shipping. Contact customer service if you notice any issues.

NOTE: The person installing the appliance is responsible for
ensuring that electric and water connections meet the requirements
of the national electric code, national plumbing code, and any local
ordinances.

INSTALLATION

1. Find a location near a water connection.

2. Remove the hot water dispenser from the packing material.
Remove drip tray from packing material (bottom of package).

3. Carefully stand up the hot water dispenser and place it on a
at, sturdy surface where it will not be knocked into. Be sure to

WATER HOOKUP

NOTE: The hot water dispenser must be installed in compliance

with applicable federal, state and/or local plumbing codes having
jurisdiction. This product requires an approved backow prevention
water device, such as a double check valve, to be installed between
the machine and the water supply. Incoming pressure should be
greater than 30 psi and not more than 70 psi.

NOTE: Connecting the hot water dispenser to a warm water supply
will speed up heating and recovery times.

1. Hot water dispenser is equipped with a ¾" GHT (garden hose
thread) are water inlet tting, which is located on the back of
the unit.

2. Provide shutoff valve and union in supply line near hot water
dispenser.

3. Minimum inlet pressure at hot water dispenser should be 30 psi
and maximum inlet pressure recommended at 70 psi.

4. Turn on the water supply line and check for leaks.

NOTE: A ltering system is recommended to remove odors and
inhibit lime and scale buildup in the unit.

NOTE: In areas with extremely hard water, a water softener must
be installed in order to prevent mineral deposits that may cause
malfunctioning of the equipment.

ELECTRICAL HOOKUP

NOTE: This equipment must be installed in compliance with

applicable federal, state and/or local electrical codes having
jurisdiction. Do not use extension cords. Make sure that the outlet is
properly grounded.

1. Check rating marking on hot water dispenser nameplate to
be sure electric lines match voltage, phase, and amperage
requirements of hot water dispenser. Select the proper cord and
cord grip for electrical rating of the hot water dispenser.

2. For U.S., 120V hot water dispensers are provided with a
120V/15A grounding plug. For Canada, 120V/15A grounding
plug. Units must have a separate 120V/15A outlet. For U.S.,
208/240V hot water dispensers are provided with a 240V/15A
grounding plug.

TESTING THE CONNECTION/BEFORE FIRST USE

1. We recommend running at least one cycle before rst use.

2. Open water supply line valve to hot water dispenser.

Helpful Hints

Why use Night Mode?

When you need hot water at the start of business, but do not want
your machine on full power during non-business hours. Utilize
Night Mode, an energy-saving feature that will maintain a water
temperature of 158°F/70°C during non-business, and heat to full set
temperature at the time you set.

What time should I set Night Mode to?

Once Night Mode turns off and the machine is re-energized, it will
take approximately 1 hour to reach 205° (MAX), so set the time for
Night Mode for approximately 1 hour before you will need hot water.

Can I change the temperature in Night Mode?

158°F/70°C is the xed temperature and cannot be adjusted.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

ALWAYS DISCONNECT OR UNPLUG THE HOT WATER DISPENSER
BEFORE CLEANING. Allow the hot water dispenser to cool
completely before handling or before cleaning.

1. Dispense of any remaining water from the spigot.

2. Wipe exterior and control panel with a nonabrasive, damp cloth
and dry.

• DO NOT use any cleaning uids that can be harmful to you,

others around you, or to the environment.

• DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of

the hot water dispenser.

• NEVER use steel wool or abrasive materials to clean the hot

water dispenser.

• NEVER remove spigot when the hot water dispenser has

water in it. Switch OFF the power to the unit at the circuit
breaker. Turn OFF the water line running to the hot water
dispenser.

NOTE: All sanitizing agents in the food zone must comply with U.S.
Food & Drug Administration Code of Federal Regulations Title 21,
Section 178.1010. Sanitize all food-dispensing units periodically. All
parts to be sanitized must be cleaned rst. Cleaning and sanitizing
frequency must follow state and local health department regulations.

NOTE: Do not use cleansers, bleach liquids, powders, or any other
substance containing chlorine. These products promote corrosion

11

and will pit the stainless steel. USE OF THESE PRODUCTS WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.

3. Wipe faucet nozzle to remove any mineral deposits. A bristle
brush may be used to remove stubborn mineral build-up.

4. A ltering system is recommended to remove odors and inhibit
lime and scale build up in the unit.

5. In areas with extremely hard water, a water softener must be
installed in order to prevent a malfunctioning of equipment and
in order not to void the warranty.

DAILY

Wipe the outside of the unit with a damp cloth, using soap solution
or a nonabrasive compound when required.
