■■A standard 120-volt grounded electrical outlet is required under the sink for the dispenser’s electrical power.
■■The wall outlet powering your dispenser must have power supplied to it continuously.
■■This outlet must be fused and should not be controlled by the same wall switch that operates the
disposer, unless you have a SinkTop Switch™from InSinkErator®.
■■It is recommended that a dedicated control valve be installed on the cold water line supplying water
to this system.
