INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: For best results, Franke recommends its products to be installed by a licensed, professional
plumber. The installer should familiarize themselves with how this chiller will be installed. Make certain to
observe all local plumbing and building codes during installation of this unit. Inspect location where the
chiller will be installed. Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Make sure you have everything
necessary for the correct installation. Water connections use push fittings that DO NOT require any types of
sealing compounds to prevent leakage. Use of any sealing compounds will VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
This chiller is not a water purifier. For water purification, Franke separately offers and strongly recommends
using the chiller with our line of professional under counter filtration products to enhance water quality, and
improve performance and durability of the chiller. These instructions are written assuming the use of the
Franke filtration products.
This chiller must be used in conjunction with a drinking water dispensing faucet, also sold separately.
Franke recommends pairing this chiller with one of our Little Butler®point of use dispensing faucets,
as outlined in these instructions.
This product is certified to ASME A112.19.3/CSA B45 for stainless steel
plumbing fixtures, NSF/ANSI Standard 61, Annex G for lead content, which
is in compliance with California’s Health and Safety Code Section 116875
(commonly known as AB1953), and UL399 for drinking water coolers.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of
injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed. You can be killed or
seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
Warning: The power cord on this product can expose you to chemicals including phthalates,
such as diisononyl phthalate (DINP) or di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), which are known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information
go to www.p65warnings.ca.gov.

Under Sink Chiller Unit Installation Instructions and Use and Care Guide
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Determine where the chiller and all components being used in the installation should be mounted beforehand
and make sure there is adequate clearance for plumbing and electrical components and there is enough
tubing to reach the intended mounting positions. For best performance, position the chiller to allow a 2” (5 cm)
space around the top and sides. Do not put any objects on top of the chiller that could obstruct the fan.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, 15- or 20-amp, grounded electrical supply is
required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only
your chiller unit be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned
on/off by a switch.
RECOMMENDED GROUND METHOD
The chiller must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with
a power supply cord with a 3 prong ground plug. To minimize
possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating,
3 prong, ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with all
national and local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is
not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3 prong outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
A cold water supply with a minimum pressure of 30 psi and a maximum pressure of 100 psi must be available
to the chiller. It can come directly from the water supply of the home, or from a water filtration system. A
Franke filtration system is highly recommended.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: For subsequent steps, it will be required to cut and route tubing to fit the specific application in
your home. All tubing must be cut squarely and free of burrs. Ensure there is no damage within 1” of the cut end.
Insert the tubing squarely. See Figure A.
Make sure to insert tubing completely. See Figure B.
To remove, push in collet and pull out tubing See Figure C.
Figure AFigure
BF
igure C
Tube Collet Body
DO NOT USE ANY FORM OF SEALING
COMPOUNDS, this is not required for
push fit connections, and using sealing
compounds could cause leaks. All
tubing connections must be firmly
seated. Tubing must be routed to avoid
sharp bends and have enough slack to
avoid straining connections. A P-clip
and mounting screw is included to
hold the tubing in place as needed.
Pull gently on each connection to
make sure they are secure. See
Diagram 1 for details on tubing
installation and removal.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. After chiller is unpacked, place upright for 24 hours before plugging it in.
2. Ensure the water supply is turned off.
3. Install a suitable drinking water dispensing faucet (sold separately) per the instructions. The following
steps outline how the chiller is to be connected to a Franke COLD ONLY Little Butler®dispensing
faucet. Any other faucet may require additional steps or hardware to install.
4. Connect the 3/8” black tubing (9) from the exit of
the Franke filtration system (7) to the 3/8” to 1/4”
reducer push fitting (10). Cut a piece of the white
1/4” poly tubing (6) long enough to connect the
reducer push fitting (10) to the elbow push fitting
(11) on the chiller. Connect the tubing (6)
from the reducer push fitting (10) to one of the
elbow push fittings (11), and connect the other
end of the elbow push fitting to the “water in”
connection on the chiller.
5. Next connect the other elbow push fitting (11) to
the “water out” connection on the chiller. Cut a
piece of the blue 1/4” poly tubing (2) long enough
to connect to the elbow push fitting (11) to the inlet
of the drinking water faucet and connect the tubing
to the elbow fitting (11).

Option 1:
For dispensing faucets with 3/8” push fitting
connections like DW50XX, DW61XX, DW80XX,
and DW90XX models:
Connect the 1/4” tubing (2) from the chiller to
a 3/8” to 1/4” reducer push fitting (10) and
use the black 3/8” tubing supplied with the
dispensing faucet (9) to connect the dispensing
faucet (3) to the 3/8” side of the reducer push
fitting (10).
Option 2:
For dispensing faucet models with 1/4”
compression fitting connections like DW100XX,
DW110XX, and DW120XX models:
Slide the compression nut (20) and plastic ferrule
(19) onto the 1/4” tubing (2) from the chiller (1).
Slide the plastic insert (18) into the end of the
1/4” tubing from the chiller. Insert the tubing
with compression fitting hardware attached into
the mounting nipple (17) of the faucet (3) and
tighten the compression nut (20).

7. Connect a piece of 3/8” tubing (9) from the inlet
of the filtration system (7) to the cold water supply
of the home (4). Franke recommends using a
10306 shut-off valve (8) that allows for connection
directly to the kitchen faucet as illustrated.
8. If you are NOT installing a filtration system with
the chiller, you will connect the cold water supply
from the home (4) or the 10306 shut-off valve (8)
if utilized, directly to the 3/8” to ¼” reducer (10)
using the 3/8” poly tubing (9), and then connect
the 3/8” x ¼” reducer (10) to the chiller inlet
elbow (11) using the 1/4” poly tubing (2).

9. Slowly turn on water supply. Open the cold water valve and allow the dispensing faucet to run for at
least 1 minute. Check all connections for leaks.
10. Plug in the chiller to a suitable power supply (see electrical requirements section). Prior to drinking
water, flush water through chiller for at least 5 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Water is not cold.
Cold water drips or sputters from spout.
Water does not flow from spout.
Unpleasant taste.
Check the Following
- Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the house fuse
has not blown.
- Check that power supply cord is plugged into electrical outlet.
- Check if the electrical outlet is operated by a switch.
The switch may have turned the power off.
- Cold water in tank is still being chilled. Wait 15 minutes and
check temperature again.
- Check that the Temperature Control is set to the “Max” setting.
- Check that tubing is not bent or kinked.
- Make sure main supply valve is open.
- Check that water pressure to the chiller is 30 psi (138 kPa)
minimum.
- Check to see if chiller is attached to hot water line. If so, attach to
cold water line.
- Check filters for proper installation.
- If the dispenser has not been used for 3 or more days or if only 1
to 3 cups of water are dispensed in a day, the tank may need to be
purged. Open the faucet for 2 to 3 minutes to purge the old water
from the tank. Allow new water in tank to reach desired
temperature (approximately 1 hour) before dispensing water.
- Check to see if filtration element in filtration system needs to be
replaced
