INSTALLATION
All Remote Drop-In Hot/Cold Wells are shipped in a shipping
frame for protection and stability. Keep the unit in the shipping
frame until the unit and the installation site are completely
prepared for the unit to be installed.
1. Remove all external packaging from the unit.
2. Remove tape, protective packaging, and literature from all
surfaces of unit.
NOTE: To prevent delay in obtaining warranty coverage, complete
online warranty registration. See the IMPORTANT
OWNER INFORMATION section for details.
3. Cut the appropriate opening in the countertop for the unit
being installed. Refer to "Countertop Cutout Dimensions"
in this section.
4. If installing the control box remotely, cut and drill the
appropriate holes in the vertical surface where the control
box will be installed. Refer to the "Installing the Remote
Control Box" procedure for cutout dimensions.
• The cutout depth required for the control box is
8-1/2" (216 mm).
5. Make structural modifications or add bracing underneath
the countertop to ensure the countertop will support the
weight of the unit and its contents.
6. Make sure the following interior clearances are available:
• A minimum 2" (51 mm) clearance between the
condensing unit and any combustible surface.
• A minimum 3-1/2" (89 mm) clearance between the
bottom of the Hydro-Heater and any combustible
surface.
NOTE: The countertop must be level to ensure proper draining
of the hot/cold well.
NOTICE
Use caution and avoid hitting condensing unit hoses/lines
when installing unit. Damage caused during installation is
not covered under warranty.
7. Lift the unit out of the wooden shipping frame and carefully
lower it into the countertop cutout. This step requires two
or more people, depending on the unit.
8. Apply National Sanitation Foundation-approved (NSF-
approved) silicone sealant around the edge of the unit to
seal it to the countertop.
9. Install the control box in the desired location, if installing
remotely.
• The control box can be installed remotely within 72"
(1829 mm) of the Hydro-Heater. Refer to the "Installing
the Remote Control Box" procedure in this section.
