■

You may hear gurgling noises coming from the tank while the 
water is heating. This is normal.

■

A small amount of hot water may flow from the faucet while 
the water is heating. This is normal for the first time heating of 
the dispenser.

■

The Temperature Control does not control the water delivery. 
Push down and turn the faucet cap clockwise to control the 
water delivery.

■

The Temperature Control regulates the water heating 
temperature. Rotate the Temperature Control clockwise to 
raise the water temperature, or counterclockwise to lower the 
water temperature.

■

Turn the Temperature Control to a lower setting if vapor is 
appearing near the faucet or if you hear the sound of water 
boiling.

NOTE: Before using the hot water from the hot water dispenser 
for the first time, allow the hot water dispenser to heat the water 
for approximately 15 minutes.

approximately 15 minutes before using.

4. Check that all installation steps are complete.

maximum temperature of 190ºF (88ºC) (approximate).

1. To raise the water temperature, turn the Temperature Control 

clockwise.

2. To lower the water temperature, turn the Temperature Control 

counterclockwise.

the hot water is dispensed is normal. 

■

Water flow from the faucet varies, depending on how far the 
faucet cap is turned.
