■
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
■
Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters
that may contain filterable cysts.
■
The term “bacteriostatic” indicates that the system limits the passage
or growth of bacteria that may already exist in the incoming water. It
does not mean that the water leaving the system is safer to drink than
the water entering the system.
■
Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and
regulations.
■
Do not allow the ION to freeze, as permanent damage to plumbing
and filters will occur.
■
If left unattended for more than two days, always flush 2–3 glasses
from the system.

WARNING:
Risk of fire, electric shock, flood, and/or personal injury.
Power Supply Cord
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks that result from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the ION.
Also, the longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
The power supply cord has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit into a polarized,
grounded outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
Operating Notice and Precautions
Carefully fill glasses, cups, and other containers to avoid spillage, either at the
ION or while carrying water to another location.
!
WARNING:
Extreme caution should be used on models with hot water. Hot water up
to 200° F (96° C) and/or steam can dispense onto hands or body, and in the case of
children, directly onto the face, causing permanent personal injury.
All units with hot water are shipped from the factory with a hot safety switch which requires
two buttons to be pressed in sequence in order to dispense hot water. Use caution when
adjusting hot temperature in areas of high elevation, because water will boil at a lower
temperature.
