HOT WATER DISPENSER CARE
NOTE: It is not necessary to turn off the hot water dispenser each night to conserve energy. The hot water dispenser uses
approximately 10 to 19 kilowatt-hours of energy per month when heating 7 to 8 cups of water per day.
Prepare Hot Water Dispenser for Nonuse
If the hot water dispenser will not be used for 2 to 30 days, set the Temperature Control to the Off position to conserve energy.
Winterizing and Seasonal Storage
Cold Weather Care

down on the collet. Pull tube out of easy-connect fitting. It is
easier to push the collet down with a
¹⁄₄" or 7 mm open-end

largest diameter faucet tube.
10. Slide the hose clamp about 2" (5 cm) from the end of the
largest diameter faucet tube.

the thermostat until the tank is filled with water. The hot water
