OTHER SPECIFICATIONS:
IP RATING
The unit is rated as IP25. The unit must be installed inside
a dwelling or construction and should not be exposed to
splashing water, rain or any circumstance that will allow
water to enter the outside cover.
MAXIMUM RATED OPERATING WATER PRESSURE
The maximum operating water pressure is
0.8 MPa / 8 bar / 116 PSI.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The unit is intended for internal installation and should not
be installed in an environment where there is a possibility
of the ambient temperature dropping below 41°F.
WATER RESISTIVITY
To ensure optimal operation, the resistivity of the
incoming cold water supply should not be less than
1.25kΩ-cm, and should not be greater than 7.7kΩ-cm.
If the unit is operated with water conductivities outside of
this range, it will not function as specified.
The CFEWH should preferably be installed in a vertical
position on an internal wall, or in an internal cupboard or
space. If the safety rules or the instructions outlined in
this manual are not followed correctly, the unit may not

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
WARNING:
This appliance can be set from 60°F up to 140°F
in 1°F increments. Water temperatures greater
than 120°F can cause scalding. Care should
be taken with children and people with limited
sensory, physical, and/or mental capability.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to comply with the installation and
operating instructions, or improper use, voids the
warranty. Never remove the unit cover unless the
electricity is turned off at the isolation switch or
switchboard. To reduce the risk of electric shock
or injury to persons or property, please follow the
installation instructions carefully.
Where the ambient temperatures are likely to
approach freezing, i.e., less than 41°F, the unit
must be drained of water to prevent frozen water
damage occurring.
For supply connections, use 6AWG or larger
wires suitable for at least 167°F.
For use on an individual branch circuit only.
IMPORTANT:
Supply this appliance only from a grounded
system. A green terminal (or a wire connector
marked “G”, “GR”, “GROUND”, OR
“GROUNDING”) is provided for wiring the
appliance. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
connect this terminal or connector to the
grounding terminal of the electric service or
supply panel with a continuous copper wire in
accordance with the electrical installation code.
CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL IN A BATH
ENCLOSURE OR SHOWER STALL, OR
CONNECT TO A SALT-REGENERATED WATER
SOFTENER OR A WATER SUPPLY OF SALT
WATER.
Failure to comply with the installation and
operating instructions, or improper use, voids the
warranty.
