Use and care
information
Your hot water dispenser uses a heating element
to warm water in the tank to approximately
190°F
when the temperature control is turned to the
highest position. You can draw approximately
2
quarts of hot water at a time. As hot water is
drawn from the tank, it refills with cold water, which
is then heated. It takes approximately
15 minutes
for a tank of cold water to heat to the maximum
temperature.
Personal

Failure to follow these instructions
may
result in scalding
or burns from hot water.
To get hot water from the tank:
Push or pull faucet lever.
To stop water flow from faucet:

Ways you can use your hot water
'
dispenser:
Your hot water dispenser water has many uses,
including:
l
To prepare instant foods and drinks that require
190°F maximum water for preparation (such as
instant coffee, tea, hot chocolate, bouillon, soup,
instant cereal, instant mashed potatoes, frosting
mix, etc.).
l
To get a fast start on cooking foods that require
boiling (such as hard boiled eggs, fresh or frozen
vegetables, meat cooking in liquid, dried soup,
pasta, rice, hot cereals, packaged dinners with
pasta, rice or potatoes).
l
Loosening jar lids.
l
Warming baby bottles.
l
Warming baby food.
l
Filling hot water bottles.
l
Peeling tomatoes or peaches.
l
Dissolving gelatin.
l
Thawing frozen foods.
l
Preparing vegetables for canning.
The water temperature is controlled by a
thermostat on the tank. The thermostat has infinite
settings between "OFF' and "HIGH" and can be
adjusted by rotating the thermostat knob clockwise
for a higher temperature; counter-clockwise
for a
lower temperature.
When the thermostat knob is turned to the "OFF'
position, the hot water dispenser will not heat the
water. When the thermostat knob is turned to the
"HIGH" position, the water will heat to
approximately
190°F.
It is recommended that the thermostat be set to
the "HIGH" position for the best performance.
However, under certain conditions, it is possible
that you will see vapor coming out of the faucet or
hear a boiling noise when the thermostat is set to
"HIGH." If this occurs, lower the thermostat setting
to a position that eliminates the vapor or noise.
If you have very hard water, it may be necessary
to occasionally clean the faucet screen to remove
sediment buildup.
To remove the faucet screen:
1. Set hot water dispenser thermostat to "OFF."
2. Hold lever down and drain hot water from tank.
Release lever.
3. Unscrew nozzle from faucet spout.
4. Remove screen and flow director from inside
nozzle.
To clean the screen and flow director:
1. Use a small brush and vinegar to remove
deposits.
2. If deposits have hardened, soak screen and
flow director in vinegar for l-2 hours. Then use
brush to clean.
To replace faucet screen:
1. Insert flow director into nozzle. Then insert
screen.
2. Position nozzle on end of faucet spout and
carefully tighten by hand.
NOTE: Nozzle must be fully tightened for screen
and flow director to be properly seated and for
nozzle not to leak.
3. Check that faucet spout is positioned away from
faucet lever. Hold lever down and check for
leaks at nozzle. If nozzle leaks, remove nozzle
and check that screen and flow director are
properly positioned. Replace nozzle and check
for leaks again.
4. Set hot water dispenser thermostat to "HIGH."
On average, you will use your hot water dispenser
to heat 7 to 8 cups of water per day. This uses
only 19 kilowatt-hours of energy per month. So it is
Not necessary to turn off the hot water dispenser
each night to conserve energy.
However, if the hot water dispenser will not be
used for an extended period of time, follow these
instructions -
Problem

is not hot.
Vapor appears or dispenser makes
boiling water noises.

Product Damage
Fill tank with water and turn thermostat
to
"OFF" position
before plugging
hot water
dispenser
into power supply.
Failure to do so could cause hot water
dispenser
heater to overheat
resulting
in an
unpleasant
taste, black specks in water,
and permanent
damage to the heater seals.
1. Turn saddle valve handle counterclockwise
to
open water supply line.
2. Hold down faucet lever until tank is full
(approximately
1 minute). When tank is full,
water will flow from faucet spout. Release lever.
Check for leaks.
3. Check that hot water dispenser thermostat is
set to "OFF' position.
4. Plug power supply cord into properly grounded
outlet.
5. Set thermostat to "HIGH" position. Water in tank
will reach maximum temperature in
approximately
15 minutes and dispenser will be
ready for use.
