Important Safety Information - InSinkErator H/HC3300 Installation, Care & Use Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

n n Use this water heater only for its intended use as described in this manual.
n n This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with hot water dispenser. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is required when an
appliance is used near children.
n n Do not operate this product if it has been or appears to be damaged in any manner or after the product
malfunctions, or is dropped. Return the complete product immediately to your retail dealer for inspection, and
if necessary, adjustment or repair.
To reduce the risk associated with choking: Do not allow children under 3 years of age to
have access to small parts during the installation of this product.
Electric Shock Hazard: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse or expose
the product, flexible cord or plug to rain, moisture or any liquid or when standing in
or on damp or wet surfaces. If any electrical product falls into water, UNPLUG it
immediately. DO NOT REACH INTO THE WATER. Important: Prior to reconnecting to the
power supply, the product should be inspected by a qualified technician.
Personal Injury/Property Damage: To reduce the risk associated with hazardous
voltage due to an installer drilling through existing electric wiring in the area of
installation: Do not install near electric wiring which may be in path of a drilling tool
when selecting the position to mount the system bracket.
Also avoid the risk of drilling into water pipes which may result in property damage.
Important: Always arrange the power cord so that it cannot come in contact with hot surfaces.
n n Do not disconnect the product from the power supply by pulling on the cord.
n n Do not use the product for other than its intended use as described in these instructions. The use of accessory
attachments other than those recommended by the manufacturer may cause safety hazards.
n n The recommended connection may be made to an existing cold water line with a branch terminating with a shutoff
valve, a pressure relief and dual check non-return valve sited adjacent to the product.
Electric Shock Hazard: Using an ungrounded (no earth ground) or improperly
connected appliance can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
This appliance must be earthed (grounded). This instant hot water tank is equipped with a cord that has a
grounding conductor and earth ground pin. The plug must be connected to an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and earthed (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 tradesperson if you are in doubt as to whether the instant hot water tank is properly earthed (grounded).
Personal Injury/Property Damage: This tank is a non-pressurized tank. DO NOT modify
this system. DO NOT close vent tube or connect other types of faucets or valves to the
tank. Use only the InSinkErator dispenser supplied. Use only parts provided. Contact an
authorized InSinkErator Service agent for repairs or replacement components.
To reduce the risk associated with the ingestion of contaminants: Do not use with water
that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.
An instant hot water tank, like any water heater, has a limited life and will eventually fail. To avoid possible property
damage and personal injury, this instant hot water system 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.
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 petrol or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Leak Hazard: Regularly inspect system and plumbing fittings for leaks, which can
cause property damage and could result in personal injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Property Damage: To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water
leakage or flooding, and to ensure optimal performance:
NOTICE
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
System Requirements (Hot Water Tank, Filtration System and Dispenser):
• The flexible vent and outlet tubes must be correctly connected to the dispenser
supplied by the manufacturer. They must not be obstructed or connected to a normal
type faucet or any other type.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of
this system is 100°F (37.8°C). Attach to cold water supply only.
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your water pressure
exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a
plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions
exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you
are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for
controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.
• Protect from freezing, shut off water supply, remove filter cartridge, drain hot water
tank and tubing when temperatures are expected to drop below 40° F (4.4° C); see
Seasonal Storage/Drainage section.
• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near system, cartridges, plastic
fittings or plastic plumbing.
• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting
the position to mount the bracket.
• Mount system in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used
in the area of installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when
installed and full of water.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
• Do not install using rigid piping. System intended for use with plastic water lines (such
as PEX tubing, PE tubing, PP tubing).
• Do not install this system if any of the quick connect collets are missing from the filter
head or Y-Quick Connector. Contact an authorized InSinkErator Service agent if collets
are missing from any fittings.
• For systems using two handle HC model dispensers, operate only one handle at a time.
• Important: Do not allow the unit to continuously boil.
• Regularly inspect the system. If there are signs of water leakage, turn off the water
supply and contact an authorized InSinkErator Service agent.
• 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.
• For questions or concerns, please contact an authorized InSinkErator Service agent
(see back page for contact information).
Additional Consideration when Utilizing Filtration System:
• The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced every 6 months, at the rated capacity
or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
• Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at recommended intervals may lead
to reduced filter performance and cracks in the filter housing, causing water leakage
or flooding.
• Protect from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop
below 40° F (4.4° C).
• Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above
100°F (37.8°C).
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
