DO NOT plug in the electrical supply cord until the tank is full of water

Where plumbing codes
permit, a saddle valve
(not supplied) can be
used to supply water to
the dispenser.
If the saddle valve is to
be used on copper pipe
it is not necessary to pre-
drill any holes. Simply follow the directions
for “self-piercing attachment” included with
the valve.
Note: Saddle valves are susceptible to
dclogging.
Product Damage
• Do not use paste-type pipe sealants on
water line connections.
Doing so may result in clogging of water
passages.
Electric Shock Hazard
• Never use an electric drill to drill into water
pipes. It can result in an electric shock. Use a
non-electric hand drill.
The recommended
connection can be made
using a shutoff valve.
This is a more com-
plex installation and
should only be
attempted by an
experienced installer with the
proper knowledge and tools.
Attach the valve to a cold water supply
line.

Tee fitting
(not supplied)
If the cold water line to
your faucet already has
a shutoff valve, a tee fit-
ting could be added to
supply the hot water
dispenser. Connect the
16" (40.6 cm) long, 1/4"
diameter copper tube
on the dispenser to the
tee fitting as shown.
