For your satisfaction and safety, read all instructions, cautions and warnings before installing or using this tank.
This particular unit is not for commercial/industrial use.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (HOT WATER TANK, DISPENSER AND OPTIONAL FILTRATION SYSTEM):
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION WHEN UTILIZING FILTRATION SYSTEM:
Welcome and thank you for purchasing this InSinkErator digital instant hot water tank.
Make sure that all electrical, plumbing and connections conform to local codes.
A standard, earthed (grounded) electrical outlet, with continuous supplied power, is required under the sink for the tank.
This outlet must be fused and should not be controlled by the same wall switch that operates the disposer, unless you have a
SinkTop Switch™ from InSinkErator
®
. Fuse/circuit breaker required is 15 amp for 120 volt.
Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this system is 100 °F (38 °C). Attach to
cold water supply only.
It is recommended that a dedicated control valve be installed on the cold water line supplying water to this system.
To prevent damage or unit not operating properly, the water pressure must be between 15 psi - 125 psi
(1.0 bar - 8.6 bar; 103 kPa - 860 kPa). Ambient (room) temperature between 40 °F (4 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C).
Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (860 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (550 kPa), you must install a
pressure limiting valve.
The use of a water lter should NOT result in the water pressure dropping below 15 psi (103 kPa).
Do not install where water hammer conditions occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer
arrester.
The exible vent and outlet tubes must be correctly connected to the dispenser supplied by the manufacturer. They must not be
obstructed or connected to a normal type faucet or any other type.
Protect from freezing, shut off water supply, remove lter cartridge, drain hot water tank and tubing when temperatures are
expected to drop below 40 °F (4 °C); see Seasonal Storage/Drainage section.
Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near system, cartridges, plastic ttings or plastic plumbing.
Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the bracket.
Mount system in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation.
Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed and full of water.
When mounting tank and lter, screws provided are for use in wood studs or cabinets only. Use wall anchors (not supplied) for
installation into plasterboard.
Ensure all tubing and ttings are secure and free of leaks.
Do not install using rigid piping. System intended for use with plastic water lines (such as PEX tubing, PE tubing, PP tubing).
Do not install this system if any of the quick connect collets are missing from the lter head or Y-Quick Connector. Contact
InSinkErator if collets are missing from any ttings.
For systems using two handle HC model faucets, operate only one handle at a time.
Important: Do not allow the unit to continuously boil.
Regularly inspect the system. If there are signs of water leakage, turn off the water supply and contact InSinkErator.
A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outtted with a leak detector, should be used in those applications where any
leakage could cause property damage.
If you suspect elevated levels of chlorine in your water, or your water has a rusty appearance before the installation of this unit,
use of our water ltration system is recommended.
This product contains stainless steel. The manufacturer cannot guarantee against rusty water because of the number of factors
that are involved beyond the manufacturer’s control. However, the sudden appearance of rusty water discharged from the hot
water dispenser may indicate the need for service or replacement of this product.
Moving parts inside the tank causing a rattling noise is normal.
For questions or concerns, please contact InSinkErator (see back page for contact information).
The disposable lter cartridge MUST be replaced every 6 months, at the rated capacity or sooner if a noticeable reduction in
ow rate occurs.
Failure to replace the disposable lter cartridge at recommended intervals may lead to reduced lter performance and cracks in
the lter housing, causing water leakage or ooding.
Protect from freezing, remove lter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 40 °F (4 °C).
Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110 °F (43 °C).
Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.

CAUTION: Personal Injury/Property Damage. This tank is a non-pressurized tank. DO NOT modify this system. DO NOT
close vent tube or connect other types of dispensers or valves to the tank. Use only the InSinkErator dispenser supplied.
Use only parts provided. Contact InSinkErator for repairs or replacement components.
NOTICE: Property Damage. To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or ooding, and to
ensure optimal performance:
WARNING: To reduce the risk associated with the ingestion of contaminants: Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
WARNING: Fire Hazard. To minimize possibility of re,
DO NOT store ammable items such as rags, paper or aerosol cans near the tank. DO NOT store or use gas or other
ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WARNING: Leak Hazard. Regularly inspect dispenser and plumbing ttings for leaks, which can cause property damage
and could result in personal injury.
Read and follow all instructions before installation and use of this system.
Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
This appliance must be earthed (grounded). This hot water tank is equipped with a cord that has a grounding conductor and
earth ground pin. The plug must be connected to an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed (grounded) in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician. Check with a qualied electrician or tradesman if you are in doubt as to
whether the hot water tank is properly earthed (grounded).
A hot water tank, like any water heater, has a limited life and will eventually fail. To avoid possible property damage and personal
injury, this hot water tank should be regularly examined for leakage and/or corrosion and replaced when necessary. A drain pan,
plumbed to an appropriate drain or outtted with a leak detector, should be used in those applications where any leakage could
cause property damage.
