Equipment You May Need:
We are delighted that you have chosen the InSinkErator®
Instant Hot Water Dispenser to be a part of your home. This unique
appliance will save you time and effort in the kitchen, and you’ll enjoy
discovering new uses for it each day. That’s exactly why millions of people
are now using an InSinkErator Instant Hot Water Dispenser.
We are confident that by following our step-by-step instructions, you’ll
soon be enjoying the convenience of instant hot water.
nnFor your satisfaction and safety, read all instructions, cautions, warnings and dangers before installing
or using this instant hot water dispenser.
nnThis particular unit is not intended for commercial use.
nnMake sure that all electrical wiring and connections conform to local codes.
nnA standard 120-volt grounded electrical outlet is required under the sink for the dispenser’s electrical power.
nnThe wall outlet powering your dispenser must have power supplied to it continuously.
nnThis 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®.
nnIf you suspect elevated levels of chlorine in your water, it is recommended to use our water
filtration system.
nnThe use of a water filter should NOT result in the water pressure to drop below 30 psi (207kPa).
If it does, this will prevent your unit from operating properly.
nnMoving parts inside the tank causing a rattling noise is normal.

Personal Injury: Do not locate filter above an outlet or other
electrical device. Install head and bracket so that connections
require no stretching, kinking or pinching of tubing.
It is normal for approximately 2 oz. of water to
discharge when filter is removed.
Property Damage: Tube runs need to form to the cabinet’s
contours to allow storage space with no sharp bends. Tubes
need clean, perpendicular, burr-free cuts to ensure a true fit.

Property Damage: To avoid water damage, replace any loose or split tubing.
Periodically inspect the unit for any signs of leakage and immediately remove from
service any unit suspected of leaking.
Personal Injury: This tank is a non-pressurized tank. DO NOT modify this system.
DO NOT close vent tube or connect other type dispensers or valves to the tank. Use only
the InSinkErator dispenser faucet supplied. Use only parts provided. Contact an
authorized InSinkErator Service agent for repairs or replacement components.
Electric Shock Hazard: Using an ungrounded or improperly connected
appliance can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
Dispenser: Series 1100, 5-year warranty
All others, 3-year warranty
Tank: 3-year warranty on stainless steel tank
Filtration System: 1-year warranty (excluding replaceable filter cartridge)
Covers all replacement parts and labor to correct defects in material or workmanship in the
dispenser system, excluding the replaceable filter cartridge, for the full warranty period from
the date of installation in your home. If warranty service is required during the warranty period,
contact an authorized InSinkErator service agent to replace or repair the unit in your home at
no cost to you. If your dispenser is replaced rather than repaired, the warranty on the new unit
shall be for the duration of the remaining portion of the original dispenser’s warranty. Note:
Warranty is determined by unit serial number and/or date of installation. Purchase or
installation receipt may be required to verify warranty status. When service is required, and for
the location of your nearest factory authorized service center, call toll free 1-800-558-5700.
The foregoing warranty does not apply to damage or inoperation resulting from accident,
alteration, misuse, abuse, improper installation, installation not in accordance with these
instructions or local electrical and/or plumbing codes. We do not assume any responsibility for
consequential damage. Install using genuine InSinkErator®manufactured components only.
Use of non InSinkErator components will void your warranty.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the
exclusion or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or
exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights which vary from state to state.
This appliance must be grounded. This instant hot water dispenser 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 instant hot water dispenser is properly grounded.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
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.
An instant hot water dispenser, like any water heater, has a limited life and will eventually
fail. To avoid possible property damage, this instant hot water dispenser should be
regularly examined for leakage 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.

severe burns.
Replace filter cartridge when there is an obvious
decrease in water flow to the faucet or if there is an
objectionable taste or odor to the water.
When the inlet and outlet ports have been closed
and the filter’s internal pressure has been relieved,
water (about 2 oz) will discharge from vent line.
If the new filter cartridge cannot be inserted,
insert the old one and turn until it stops, remove it
and then retry the new cartridge.
It is recommended that carbon filters be replaced
within 12 months.
