shock
l
Do Not use an extension

Check with a qualified
electrician
if you are
in doubt
as to whether
this appliance
is
properly
grounded.
Failure
to follow
these
instructions
could
result in serious injury or death.
If codes permit and a separate grounding
wire
is used, it is recommended
that a qualified
electrician
determine
that the grounding
path
is adequate.
For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a
power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding-
type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with
National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70-latest
edition* and all local codes and ordinances. (See
Figure 1.) If a mating wall receptacle is not
available, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have a properly
grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.

Important:
If local codes do Not permit the use
of saddle valves, special feed valves can be
obtained
from your local plumbing
supply
distributor.
If local codes permit, the hot water dispenser feed
line should be connected to the cold water supply
line using a saddle tapping valve. The saddle
tapping valve supplied is designed for use with
3/8" to l-318" outer dimension (O.D.), soft copper
supply tubing (plain or chrome plated) and rigid
metal pipe. Do Not use saddle valve with
flexible
ribbed supply tubing.
Flexible ribbed
supply tubing has a thin wall thickness and
requires special connection hardware, available
from your local plumbing supply distributor.
NOTE:
Connection
to hot water line is not
recommended.
Energy will be wasted in
heating the water twice and the
magnesium
rod used in household
heating
may produce a "rotten egg" taste.
If this unit is replacing
a hot water
dispenser
connected
to a hot water
supply, the existing
connection
may be
used.
Remove parts from packages. Check that all
parts were included.
