HOT WATER DISPENSER USE

Before first use:
After the tank has been in operation for a minimum of 15
minutes, push and turn the faucet cap and allow water to flow for
about 1 minute. Release the faucet cap and allow the water to
reheat for about 15 minutes prior to use.
Check that all installation steps were completed.
Temperature control
The water temperature is thermostatically controlled. It can be
adjusted from "Off" to about 190°F (88°C).
To raise or lower the temperature, turn the Temperature Control.
The "Max" setting is recommended for best performance.
However, under certain conditions, it is possible for the water to
boil when the Temperature Control is set at "Max." If you see
any vapor or hear boiling, turn Temperature Control to lower
temperature as necessary.
Dispensing hot water
Push down and turn the faucet cap clockwise and hold until
desired amount of hot water is obtained. There is a small delay
from the time the faucet cap is turned until hot water is
dispensed. This delay is normal.

HOT WATER DISPENSER CARE

Energy-saving tips and preparation for periods of nonuse.
On average, you will use your hot water dispenser to heat 7 to 8
cups (1.7 to 1.9 liters) of water per day. This uses only 19
kilowatt-hours of energy per month. So it is not necessary to turn
off the hot water dispenser each night to conserve energy.
However, if the hot water dispenser will not be used for an
extended period of time, follow these instructions:
For short periods (2-30 days of nonuse).
Set the Temperature Control to the "Off" position to conserve
energy.
For long periods of nonuse (winterizing, seasonal storage or
protection from freezing):
1. Turn Temperature Control to the "Off" position.
2. Unplug hot water dispenser power supply cord.
3. Turn faucet cap, hold and run water until water is cold.
4. Turn supply valve off.
5. Remove the copper faucet tube by pressing the collet down
and pulling the copper faucet tube up. It is easier to push the
collet down if a 1/4" or 7 mm open-end wrench is used as
shown.

6. Using pliers, open the hose clamp on the flexible tube and
slide the clamp about 2" (5 cm) from the end of the tubing.
Remove the flexible tube from the tank tube.
7. Lift the hot water dispenser tank up and off the mounting
bracket.
8. Hold the hot water dispenser tank over a sink, turn the
dispenser upside down and let all the water drain out of the
tank tube.
9. When the hot water dispenser tank is empty, reinstall the tank
on the mounting bracket.
10. Reconnect the copper faucet tube and the flexible tube (See
"Installing the faucet" steps 5-7).
When ready to use the dispenser again, follow "Complete
Installation" steps 1-5. Do not turn unit on if tank is empty.
Damage to the unit will result and is not covered by the warranty.

Cleaning the Faucet Screen

If you have very hard water, and you notice that the water flow is
reduced, it may be necessary to clean the spout screen.
1. Turn Temperature Control to the "Off" position. Push down
and turn On/Off Cap clockwise and run water until it is cold to
avoid possibility of burn.
2. Remove the two spout screws.
3. Remove spout base plate.
4. Pull the screen assembly out of
the hot water tube.
5. Use a small brush and vinegar to
remove hard-water deposit.
If deposit has hardened, soak in vinegar for an hour or two.
Then use a brush to clean.
6. Replace screen assembly in tube. Reattach plate back onto
spout.
7. Turn Temperature Control to the "Max" setting. The dispenser
will be ready in about 15 minutes.
