CARE AND USE Electric Shock Hazard: To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before servicing unit. Use only a properly grounded and polarized electric outlet. Adjusting the Thermostat Factory temperature pre-set is 200˚F. To reset the thermostat to 200°, turn the indicator two notches to the right of vertical. approx. 200° Adjust the thermostat slowly, turning the dial clockwise to increase temperature or counter clockwise to decrease temperature, then activate faucet handle for 20 seconds to bring in fresh water to be heated at the new setting. Allow 5-7 minutes for water to reach new temperature. Scalding Hazard: Do not allow water to boil. May result in severe burns. Seasonal storage/drainage Anytime the instant hot water dispenser is not used for extended periods of time, unplug and drain unit. If it is below freezing you will need to unplug the unit and drain it. Disconnect power from unit (unplug unit). Push hot water dispenser faucet lever and allow water to flow until it is cool. Shut the cold water supply off at the valve. Disconnect tubes from the tank. Unhook tank from wall. Hold tank upside down and drain the water into the sink. Towel dry any water drippings from tank area. Reinstall tank to wall and reconnect tubes. Remove and discard filter cartridge, if applicable. To put back into working order, install new filter cartridge (if applicable) and turn on cold water supply at valve. Depress the hot water dispenser faucet lever and hold until water flows from the spout. Reconnect the electrical cord. (Refer to Page 11, Step 6B) Property Damage Regularly inspect the unit for any signs of leakage. If there are signs of water damage, immediately remove the unit from service. To avoid water damage from leakage, replace all cut, loose or split tubing. A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage. Filter Guide and Replacement Replace filter cartridge when there is an obvious decrease in water flow to the faucet or if there is an objectionable taste or odor to the water. When the inlet and outlet ports have been closed and the filter's internal pressure has been relieved, water (about 2 oz) will discharge from vent line. If the new filter cartridge cannot be inserted, insert the old one and turn until it stops, remove it and then retry the new cartridge. Carbon filters should be replaced within 12 months. Filter replacement instructions: Replace with an InSinkErator® filter. Place pan or dish towel under the filter to catch water drainage during change. Slowly turn the cartridge counter-clockwise completely until it stops (1/4 turn). P ull cartridge straight down and discard. Insert new cartridge into filter head. Top surface of cartridge will become flush with the bottom of the filter head when fully engaged. Turn the cartridge clockwise until it stops (1/4 turn). Align the in/out arrow on the head and bracket assembly to the in/out arrow on the cartridge. Open faucet to expel trapped air. Run water for 3 minutes before usage. CLEANING THE FAUCET AND TANK Only use mild cleaners to clean the faucet and plastic components. Cleaners with acids, abrasives, alkaline or organic solvents will result in deterioration of the plastic components and void the warranty. PERSONAL INJURY Regularly check for signs of corrosion by examining the appearance of the dispensed water. If there is any discoloration or rusty appearance, unplug and drain unit as described in the Seasonal Storage/Drainage section on this page of the manual. If the water discoloration remains after draining and refilling unit, discontinue use and contact an authorized InSinkErator service agent. 14 FILTRATION INFORMATION The InSinkErator® Instant Hot Water Dispenser Filtration System is intended for use in filtering sediment, chlorine taste and odor from drinking water, and has not been evaluated for other uses. The system is typically installed (near or beneath a sink) where filtered drinking water is desired, and must be installed, operated and maintained as specified in the installation and use instructions. To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage: • Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop below 40°F (4.4°C). • Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (828 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 120 psi, you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure. • Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition. • Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is 100°F (38°C). • The disposable filter cartridge must be replaced every twelve months or at the specified service cycle. • Read and follow instructions before installation and use of this system. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. F-201R Cartridge (included with this system) Chemical & Mechanical Reduction Filter Specifications: This cartridge provides mechanical and chemical reduction of dirt/rust, taste/odor and chlorine. Tested and Certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 in model F-201 for the reduction of claims specified on the Performance Data Sheet. Pressure: 20-120 psi Temperature: 33ºF - 100ºF Flow Rate: 0.75 gpm Capacity: 500 gallons Filter Capacity: 500 gallons, depending on local water conditions. Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. For cold water use only. Systems must be installed and operated in accordance with the Manufacturer's recommended procedures and guidelines. See warranty card for warranty. For service and parts, contact your local dealer or InSinkErator® directly at 1-800-558-5700. Application guidelines/Water Supply Parameters for NSF Testing: Service flow of 0.75 gpm, community or private well water supply, water pressure of 20-120 psi, water temperature of 33˚F-100˚F. Except as noted, all testing performed at pH = 7.5 ± 0.5, Flow: 0.75 gpm, Pressure: 60 psi, Temp: 20˚± 3˚C. Contact an authorized InSinkErator service agent for repairs or replacement components. 15
