A hot water dispenser, like any water heater, has limited life
and will eventually fail. To avoid possible property damage, a
hot water dispenser should be regularly examined for leakage
and replaced when necessary. A drain pan plumbed to an
appropriate drain
should be used
in those applications
where any leakage could cause property damage.
Connecting the dispenser to your cold water supply requires no
special plumbing. All details are covered in the installation instruc-
tions. Be sure that all plumbing connections conform to your
applicable local codes. If your water supply contains sand, grit or
other suspended particles, the use of a filter is recommended. The
filter should not result in the water pressure to the dispenser drop-
ping below 20 pounds per square inch (138kPa). This could pre-
vent the unit from aspirating properly.
A standard 115-volt grounded electrical outlet is required under
the sink for the dispenser’s electrical power. The current drain is
4.3 amps only when the tank is heating. Assure that all electrical
wiring and connections conform to applicable codes. Note: The
wall outlet to your dispenser must have power supplied to it
continuously and must be fused. It should not be controlled
by the same wall switch that operates your disposer.
What you should know before you begin
Important
• Any time you plan on being away from home for an extended
period of time, unplug the unit’s electrical cord. See step 6.
• This unit does not contain a drain plug and should not be
installed where periodic draining is required such as summer
homes. The unit can be drained only by removing it from the
sink and turning it upside down. If draining is necessary, we
recommend that you install an ISE Model H-770 hot water
dispenser.
Fire Hazard
• To minimize possibility of fire, do not store flammable items
such as rags, paper or aerosol cans near the tank. Do not
store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Personal Injury
• Dispenses 190°F (88° C) water
which can instantly cause scalds
or burns. Use care when operating
this appliance.
• Do not allow children to operate
this appliance.
Personal Injury
• This tank is a non-pressure tank. Do not modify this system.
Do not close vent tube or connect other type faucets or
valves to the tank.
Use this diagram if
you are using the
same wall outlet for
the dispenser and
your disposer.
This unit usually mounts behind the sink. Be sure you have enough room between the sink and the wall to mount the unit (see mounting
dimensions). When determining hole location for the unit, ensure that the dispenser spout will drain into the sink and the valve lever will not
hit the back wall or counter.
These are the tools and materials you
will
need
1/2" - 9/16"
Open end
wrench
115-volt
grounded out-
let within 30
inches (76
cm) of the dis-
penser
Cold water line within 16" (40
cm) of the dispenser. A shut-
off valve and/or T-fitting(s) to
connect the dispenser to the
cold water line (see step 3 for
examples of connections that
can be used).
Screwdrivers.
Phillips and
flat blade
Electric Shock Hazard
• Disconnect power before installing or servicing unit
• Use only a properly grounded and polarized electric outlet.
These are the tools you
may
need
Basin wrench.
If you
intend to use the hand
sprayer hole in your sink
for your dispenser, you
may need a basin
wrench and a 1/8" plug
or a 1/4" cap (not sup-
plied) for the faucet spray
hose line. See step 1 of
installation instructions
for details.
Hand drill.
If you have a
galvanized water supply
pipe, you may need a
non-electric drill to make
a small hole.
Chassis punch.
If you
need to punch a mount-
ing hole in your stainless
steel sink you may need
a 1-3/8" (35 mm) chassis
punch.
