WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard. Using an ungrounded (no earth ground) or improperly connected appliance can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse or expose the product, flexible cord, or plug to rain, moisture, or any liquid or when standing in or on damp or wet surfaces. If any electrical product falls into the water, UNPLUG it immediately. DO NOT REACH IN THE WATER. Important: prior to reconnecting to the power supply, the product should be inspected by a qualified technician.

This appliance must be earthed (grounded). This 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 fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Check with a qualified electrician or tradesman if you are in doubt as to whether the water tank is properly earthed (grounded).

CAUTION: This product is intended to be used as it was originally packaged. Do not use the system if the Faucet End Piece has been removed.

WARNING: Personal Injury/Property Damage. This tank is a pressurized tank. DO NOT modify this system. DO NOT connect other types of valves to the tank. Use only the InSinkErator faucet supplied. Use only parts provided. Contact an authorized InSinkErator Service agent for repairs or replacement components.

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.

A water tank, like any water heater, has a limited life and will eventually fail. To avoid possible property damage and personal injury, this water tank should be regularly examined for leakage and/or corrosion and replaced when necessary. A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain must be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage. A leak detection device with water shutoff is recommended.

WARNING: Fire Hazard. To minimize possibility of fire, DO NOT store flammable items such as rags, paper or aerosol cans near the tank. DO NOT store or use petrol or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WARNING: Leak Hazard. Regularly inspect the faucet and plumbing fittings for leaks, which can cause property damage and could result in personal injury.

NOTICE: Property Damage. To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding, and to ensure optimal performance:

• Read and follow all instructions before installation and use of system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.

NOTICE: Property Damage. Any water heater should be installed in such a manner that if it should leak, the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to the area in which it is installed and areas where the water could flow. National plumbing codes require a drain pan for any water heater installation. Failure to install one is the sole responsibility of owner and/or installer. Reference the latest version of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) for specific details and requirements.

NOTICE: The maximum working pressure of 150 PSI refers to the rating of the temperature and pressure relief valve. The pressure of the water entering the water heater must be less than 70 PSI.

NOTICE: Property Damage. To avoid water damage, replace any loose or split tubing. Periodically inspect the unit for any sign of leakage and immediately remove from service any unit suspected of leaking.

NOTICE: T&P valves are typically designed and manufactured to relieve pressure at 150PSI and temperature at 210°F (98.9°C). ASME, ANSI and CSA (AGA) approved relief valves protect the water heater from excess pressures and temperatures by discharging water.

When water is heated it expands. The extra volume created by this expansion has to go somewhere or pressure will dramatically increase, such as when water is heated in a closed system.

In normal operation of the water heater and T&P valve, no water should be discharged from the valve. A relief valve functions by discharging water, so it is essential that a discharge line be piped from the valve in order to carry the overflow to a safe place of disposal. This discharge line must be the same size as the valve outlet and must pitch downward from the valve. Discharge may indicate that an unsafe temperature or pressure condition exists which requires immediate attention by a qualified service technician or licensed plumbing contractor.

The T&P valve lever MUST be operated AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR to ensure that the water-ways are clear. Certain naturally occurring mineral deposits may adhere to the valve, rendering it inoperative. When manually operating the lever, water will discharge and precautions must be taken to avoid contact with hot water and to avoid water damage. BEFORE operating lever, check to see that a discharge line is connected to this valve directing the flow of hot water from the valve to a proper place of disposal, otherwise personal injury may result. If no water flows, valve is inoperative. TURN OFF THE WATER HEATER AND CALL A PLUMBER IMMEDIATELY.
