We are delighted that you have chosen the InSinkErator® Instant Hot Water Dispenser to be a part of your home. This unique appliance will save you time and effort in the kitchen, and you’ll enjoy discovering new uses for it each day. That’s exactly why millions of people are now using an InSinkErator Instant Hot Water Dispenser. We are confident that by following our step-by- step instructions, you’ll soon be enjoying the convenience of instant hot water.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN

For your satisfaction and safety, read all instructions, cautions and warnings before installing or using this instant hot water dispenser.
This particular unit is not intended for commercial use.
Make sure that all electrical wiring and connections conform to local codes.
A standard 115-volt grounded electrical outlet is required under the sink for the dispenser’s electrical power. The wall outlet powering your dispenser must have power supplied to it continuously.
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®.
It is recommended that a dedicated control valve be installed on the cold water line supplying water to this system.
If you suspect elevated levels of chlorine in your water, or your water has a rusty appearance before the installation of this unit, it is recommended to use our water filtration system. 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.
The use of a water filter should NOT result in the water pressure to drop below 30 psi (207kPa). If it does, this will prevent your unit from operating properly.
Moving parts inside the tank causing a rattling noise is normal.
