What You Should Know Before You Begin - InSinkErator Hot-1 The Installation, Care And Use

What you should know before you begin

This unit usually mounts behind the sink. Be sure you have enough room between the sink and the wall to mount the unit (see mounting
dimensions). When determining hole location for the unit, ensure that the dispenser spout will drain into the sink and the valve lever will not
hit the back wall or counter.
Connecting the dispenser to your cold water supply requires no
special plumbing. All details are covered in the installation instruc-
tions. Be sure that all plumbing connections conform to your
applicable local codes. If your water supply contains sand, grit or
other suspended particles, the use of a filter is recommended. The
filter should not result in the water pressure to the dispenser drop-
ping below 20 pounds per square inch (138kPa). This could pre-
vent the unit from aspirating properly.
A standard 115-volt grounded electrical outlet is required under
the sink for the dispenser's electrical power. The current drain is
4.3 amps only when the tank is heating. Assure that all electrical
wiring and connections conform to applicable codes. Note: The
wall outlet to your dispenser must have power supplied to it
continuously and must be fused. It should not be controlled
by the same wall switch that operates your disposer.
These are the tools and materials you will need

A hot water dispenser, like any water heater, has limited life
and will eventually fail. To avoid possible property damage, a
hot water dispenser should be regularly examined for leakage
and replaced when necessary. A drain pan plumbed to an
appropriate drain should be used in those applications
where any leakage could cause property damage.
Electric Shock Hazard
• Disconnect power before installing or servicing unit
• Use only a properly grounded and polarized electric outlet.
Important
• Any time you plan on being away from home for an extended
period of time, unplug the unit's electrical cord. See step 6.
• This unit does not contain a drain plug and should not be
installed where periodic draining is required such as summer
homes. The unit can be drained only by removing it from the
sink and turning it upside down. If draining is necessary, we
recommend that you install an ISE Model H-770 hot water
dispenser.
