Service/Maintenance Instructions

What if water is dripping from the spout?
If water drips from the spout, draw 2 or
3 cupfuls while unit is heating. This will
drain any water out of the unit's expan-
sion chamber. If water still drips prior
to the automatic thermostat shutting
off (you can hear it), turn thermostat
to a slightly lower temperature setting.
If the water pressure occasionally drops below 20
pounds per square inch (138kPa), the expansion
chamber of the tank may not be draining properly.
In such a case, water may drip out of the spout until the incom-
ing water is hot enough to turn off the thermostat. As soon as
adequate water pressure is restored, the next drawing of water
will clear the expansion chamber. Occasional drops in water
pressure will not harm the operation of your unit.
Note: Use only mild cleaners to clean the dispenser spout
and plastic components. Use of cleaning agents containing
acids, alkalines and organic solvents will result in deteriora-
tion of plastic components.

What to do if something goes wrong

1. If the dispenser's flow of water slows or stops, make sure
the shutoff valve is not plugged or turned off. To unplug the
valve, turn it all the way off and then open it all the way. This
may dislodge any foreign material. If this does not work, then
unplug the power cord and contact your service center.
2. Be sure dispenser is plugged firmly into a properly grounded
outlet.
Check that fuses and circuit breakers are working. Reread
instruction booklet to assure that you are using correct
operating procedure. Many unnecessary service calls
result in the service agent doing what the owner can do
for himself or herself.
3. Contact your local authorized service center. For the loca-
tion of your nearest factory authorized service center call
1-800-558-5700 USA (1-800-367-9811 Canada).

Adjusting Temperature

The thermostat is preset at the factory at approximately 190° F.
If you wish to adjust the water temperature, turn the thermostat
adjustment screw clockwise to increase the temperature and
counterclockwise to decrease it (see illustration above). The
cover must always be in place for the thermostat to respond
properly. Wait for water to heat up or to cool down. Then, draw
some water. If temperature still is not to your liking, repeat the
procedure. Do not allow water to boil.
