Complete Installation
IMPORTANT: The hot water dispenser can be damaged if the
following steps are not followed.
NOTE: Do not plug power supply cord into outlet.
1. Turn Temperature Control counterclockwise to “Off” position.
2. Push down and turn the faucet cap clockwise to open faucet.
Hold cap open until water flows from the faucet (about 1 to
1-1/2 minutes).
3. Release faucet cap. Check for leaks.
NOTE: Make sure the Temperature Control is in the “Off” position
before plugging hot water dispenser into power supply. If tank is
empty and thermostat is in an “On” position when the power
supply cord is connected, the heater will overheat causing an
unpleasant taste, black specks in the water, and permanent
damage to the hot water dispenser.
4. Once water is flowing from faucet, the water heating tank has
been filled with water. Plug power supply cord into grounded
3 prong outlet.

HOT WATER DISPENSER USE
Before first use:
After the tank has been in operation for a minimum of 15
minutes, push and turn the faucet cap and allow water to flow for
about 1 minute. Release the faucet cap and allow the water to
reheat for about 15 minutes prior to use.
Check that all installation steps were completed.
The Whisper Quiet ® System helps to
maintain a quiet home environment
during the operation of the hot water
dispenser.
Temperature control
The water temperature is thermostatically controlled. It can be
adjusted from “Off” to about 190°F (88°C).
To raise or lower the temperature, turn the Temperature Control.
The “Max” setting is recommended for best performance.
However, under certain conditions, it is possible for the water to
boil when the Temperature Control is set at “Max.” If you see
any vapor or hear boiling, turn Temperature Control to lower
temperature as necessary.
Dispensing hot water
Push down and turn the faucet cap clockwise and hold until
desired amount of hot water is obtained. There is a small delay
from the time the faucet cap is turned until hot water is
dispensed. This delay is normal.

WARNING
5. Turn Temperature Control clockwise to highest position.
Water in tank will reach maximum temperature in about 15
minutes.
NOTES:
• When water is heating, you may hear gurgling noises
coming from the tank.
• There may also be a small amount of spitting or hot water
flow from the faucet. This is normal for the initial heat-up of
the dispenser.
• The Temperature Control controls tank heater, not water
delivery. Rotate Temperature Control clockwise to make
water hotter, counterclockwise to lower water temperature.
• Turn Temperature Control to lower temperature setting if you
notice vapor or hear boiling noise.
