This appliance must be grounded. This steaming hot water tap is
equipped with a cord that has a grounding conductor and a grounding
pin. The plug must be connected to an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
steaming hot water tap is properly grounded.
A steaming hot water tap, like any water heater, has a limited life and will
eventually fail. To avoid possible property damage and personal injury,
this steaming hot water tap should be regularly examined for leakage and/
or corrosion and replaced when necessary. A drain pan, plumbed to an
appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in those
applications where any leakage could cause property damage. To check
for corrosion, examine the appearance of the dispensed water in a clear glass
once every three (3) months. If there is any discoloration or rusty appearance
unplug and drain unit. If the water discoloration remains after draining and
refilling unit, discontinue use and contact an authorized
InSinkErator service agent.
Electric Shock Hazard: Using an ungrounded or improperly connected
appliance can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
Personal Injury/Property Damage: This tank is a non-pressurized
tank. DO NOT modify this system. DO NOT close vent tube
or connect other type taps or valves to the tank. Use only the
InSinkErator tap. Use only parts provided. Contact an authorized
InSinkErator Service agent for repairs or replacement components.
Fire Hazard: To minimize possibility of fire, DO NOT store flammable
items such as rags, paper or aerosol cans near the tank. DO NOT
store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Leak Hazard: Regularly inspect dispenser and plumbing fittings for
leaks, which can cause property damage and could result in
personal injury

must be between 172 kPa - 862 kPa (1.7 bar - 8.6 bar; 25 psi - 125 psi).
Ambient (room) temperature between 10ºC and 38ºC. In Australia, an
Australian water mark approved 350 kPa set pressure limiting valve and
dual check valve must be used.
• Moving parts inside the tank causing a rattling noise is normal.

This document describes the InSinkErator Steaming Hot Water Tap, a device designed to provide instant hot water for various kitchen tasks. The manual covers installation, usage, maintenance, and safety guidelines for the tank replacement process.

The primary function of the InSinkErator Steaming Hot Water Tap is to deliver near-boiling water on demand, making it convenient for preparing hot beverages, cooking, and other kitchen needs. The system consists of a tap and an under-sink tank that heats and stores water.

Installation and Setup:

Before installation, it is crucial to read all instructions, cautions, and warnings to ensure safety and proper operation. All electrical wiring and connections must conform to local codes. A standard, grounded electrical outlet is required under the sink, and it must provide continuous power. The outlet should be fused (10 amp for 230V/220-240V UK, 15 amp for 120V) and not controlled by the same wall switch as a food waste disposer.

The water pressure must be maintained between 172 kPa and 862 kPa (25-125 psi), with an ambient temperature between 10°C and 38°C. In Australia, an Australian WaterMark approved 350 kPa set pressure limiting valve and dual check valve are required.

The installation process involves several steps:

1. Preparation: Turn off the water supply and unplug the old tank. Run water from the old tank until cool. Remove the inlet, outlet, and vent tubes from the fittings. Lift the old tank off its mounting bracket or screws and drain any remaining water into a sink or container. A towel should be available for cleanup as a minimal amount of water might spill.
2. Mounting the Tank: The new tank must be mounted level to ensure proper operation. It should be positioned vertically within 400mm of the faucet water lines and within 760mm of a standard grounded outlet. Mark locations for two hanging screws, leaving 6.4mm for the hanging tank. Pre-drill 3mm pilot holes and install the provided screws (for wood only) or use wall anchors (for drywall), leaving 6.4mm exposed. Hang the new tank on the screws and tighten them 1/2 turn clockwise, being careful not to overtighten.
3. Connecting Lines: Attach the inlet tube to the tank. Then, attach the outlet and vent tubes to their respective fittings. Note that snap connect fittings are not included and may be required for tanks manufactured prior to January 2006.
4. Filling the Tank and Connecting Power: Turn on the water supply. Activate the HOT handle and hold it until water flows from the spout (approximately 1-2 minutes). To flush the lines, run water for at least 2 minutes (using both hot and cold handles if applicable). Check for leaks around all fittings. If no leaks are present, plug in the tank. It is crucial not to plug in the unit until water has flowed from the faucet.

Usage Features:

The InSinkErator Steaming Hot Water Tap is designed for ease of use. Once installed and powered, the tank will begin heating the water. Gurgling or hissing sounds are normal during the initial heating cycle. It typically takes 12-15 minutes for the water to reach the desired temperature. The tap provides instant access to hot water, making tasks like making tea, coffee, or preparing instant meals much quicker.

Maintenance Features and Safety Guidelines:

Regular maintenance and adherence to safety guidelines are essential for the longevity and safe operation of the steaming hot water tap.

• Grounding: The appliance must be properly grounded to prevent electric shock. The power cord is equipped with a grounding conductor and a grounding pin. The plug must be connected to an appropriate, properly installed, and grounded outlet in accordance with all local codes. Do not alter or remove the ground pin from the power cord, and do not use an extension cord set with the unit.
• Water Quality: To ensure proper operation, the unit is not intended to be flushed with chlorine. If elevated levels of chlorine are suspected in the water, using a water filtration system is recommended.
• Tank Integrity: The tank is a non-pressurized unit. Do not modify the system, close the vent tube, or connect other types of taps or valves to the tank. Only use parts provided by InSinkErator. Contact an authorized InSinkErator Service agent for repairs or replacement components.
• Leak Prevention: Regularly inspect the dispenser and plumbing fittings for leaks. Leaks can cause property damage and personal injury. A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in applications where leakage could cause property damage.
• Corrosion Check: Examine the appearance of dispensed water in a clear glass every three months. If there is any discoloration or rusty appearance, unplug and drain the unit. If the water discoloration persists after draining and refilling, discontinue use and contact an authorized InSinkErator service agent.
• Fire Hazard: Do not store flammable items (rags, paper, aerosol cans, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids) near the tank or any other appliance.
• Product Lifespan: Like any water heater, the steaming hot water tap has a limited life and will eventually fail. To avoid property damage and personal injury, the tap should be regularly examined for leakage and/or corrosion and replaced when necessary.
