INSTALLATION CAVITY HOUSING ASSEMBLY NOTE: Left side panel has no hole for the water manifold connections. The side panels are not interchangeable and will not fit into the shelf/drain unit if assembled otherwise. 1. Position core panel upright onto the right side edge.
SHELF INSTALLATION CAUTION Do not place anything on top of the unit; doing so could damage the unit or subject personnel to possible injury. CAUTION Use of excessive force when tightening mounting screws may damage unit or wall. NOTE: When mounting the shelf to the wall, secure the gussets directly to the wall studs or use toggle bolts (not supplied) if unable to secure unit directly to wall studs.
A qualified plumber is recommended for providing 1/2" hot and cold supply water lines with shut off valves to the designated HQT-1 location. NOTE: Installation instructions are provided with mixing valve. Mixing valve is factory calibrated to the low setpoint and will need to be adjusted after installation.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL Recommended thawing temperature is not to exceed 69°F (21°C). For ideal operating conditions, the cold water supply should be at least 10°F (5.5°C) cooler than the desired setpoint, and the hot water supply should be at least 10°F (5.5°C) above the desired setpoint. 180°F (82°C) is the maximum temperature for the hot water supply inlet on the mixing valve.
