1. Determine a convenient location to mount faucet and tank. Important considerations when determining location
include:
•
Existing hole in sink (the spray hose opening for example) or drilling another hole into the sink or countertop.
If drilling a new hole, you will need to drill a 1 1/4" (32 mm) or 1 3/8" (35 mm) hole in your sink.
•
Drilling into a stainless steel sink : You need a 1 1/4" (32 mm) or 1 3/8" (35 mm) knockout punch (available at most
hardware stores) or drill a hole with an expandable drill.
•
Drilling into a porcelain sink : Proper tools are required to drill through a porcelain or cast iron sink. If you are not
familiar with this process you should consider having this done by a professional plumber.
•
Do not attempt to drill sink holes without these special tools as you may severely damage your sink.
•
Location of the hole should also provide easy access for tank connections.
•
Tank must be mounted close to faucet to avoid kinking or pulling of lines. Lengthening of lines is not recommended
as this may diminish performance of the appliance and void warranty.
•
The thickness of the sink or counter must be less than 1 3/8" (35mm).
•
Be sure faucet is positioned where there will be no contact with the water flow when turning the faucet on and off
to avoid burns.
•
Be sure to allow for 4" to 6" (101.6 mm to 154.2 mm) of space around the front and sides of the tank to allow for
air circulation.
•
The container(s) you will use with the appliance such as a large cooking pan or carafe.
2. Before connecting to the power source, the tank must be filled with water and the thermostat turned to the lowest
setting.
3. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Appliance must be within approximately 36" (914 mm) of the power
source.
4. Do not use any pipe sealing compounds as they may get inside the dispenser causing an objectionable taste and odor.
