2. Important Safety Instructions
For your satisfaction and safety, read this guide thoroughly before installing and using
•
the HOTAP instant water heater tap.
For best performance, this appliance must be installed in accordance with all electrical
•
and plumbing codes applicable to your area, and as specified in this guide.
Failure to comply with the safety, installation or operating instructions will void the
•
product warranty.
The product manufacturer and the product distributor will not be liable for any
•
damages or injury caused by failure to comply with the installation and operating
instructions specified in this manual or by improper use of the product.
This appliance is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is not intended for
•
commercial use.
This appliance must be connected to a household water supply.
•
This appliance must be connected to a grounded power outlet.
•
Do not turn on the water heater tap if it is not connected to the water supply.
•
Do not attempt to install, clean, inspect, disassemble or service the tap without first
•
shutting off all the power to the appliance by disconnecting the power cable from the
power outlet.
This appliance is not intended for use by small children or people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless they are properly supervised and
instructed on the use of the water heater tap.
Serious bodily injury or death can occur if you ignore this warning.
If your water supply contains more than 200 ppm chlorine, it is recommended to use a
•
water filtration system.
If the water inside the tap freezes, it can cause damage that is not covered by
•
warranty. Do not turn on the tap if you suspect water has frozen within the appliance.
Wait until you are certain that the system has completely thawed before you turn it on.
A mesh screen filter is installed on the water inlet, and should be removed and
•
cleaned regularly.
Use the handle to adjust the water flow, which in turn will increase (or decrease) the
•
water temperature.
The tap underwent factory testing for water leakage and energization. It is normal to
•
find residual water at the inlet and outlet of the tap. Water should be flushed through
the tap before use.
Rated pressure of the tap is 0 kPa (0 bar). Make sure the water outlet is not blocked.
•
If connecting a garden hose to the tap with a slanted spout, be sure the water outlet of
•
the hose is not obstructed, to prevent continuous heating activation.
If installing the tap with the electric cable below a metal sink or counter, make sure the
•
hole through the counter is large enough for the electric cable to pass freely through it.
The cable should also pass easily through the notches in the pedestal and rubber
pads, as shown in the installation diagrams. Failure to install the electric cable
properly could cause the wires to fray, which will void the appliance's warranty.
4
If you detect damage to the cable wires of the appliance, you must contact a qualified
•
electrician to replace it with a cable from authorized dealers. Any damage to the wiring
or integrity of the water heater tap should be assessed by a qualified electrician, and
the tap should not be used until the unit or wiring has been repaired.
