• Copper tubes connected incorrectly.
• The unit has not had sufficient

time to chill the water.

• Make sure the circuit breaker or fuses are

functioning properly.

• Make sure the unit is connected to a properly grounded

electric outlet.

• Check that the outlet is not switched off.
• Switch copper tube connections.
• Cold water in the chilled water tank is still being chilled.

Wait 15 minutes and check temperature once again.

• Check that the temperature control knob is set to the

maximum cold setting.

Cold water drips or

sputters from spout.

• Insufficient water supply.

• The spout is blocked.

• Check the supply valve to ensure that is fully open and there

are no obstructions in the water line reducing the pressure

below 30 psi (i.e., a poorly mounted saddle valve, a clogged

water filter, or a partially opened shut-off valve).

• Check to see if chilled water tank is improperly connected

to hot water supply line. If so, attach to cold water line.

• Unscrew spout end piece and clean out any debris.

Water does not flow

from spout.

Water is dripping

from the spout/vent

constantly.

• Debris in the water line may be

in the faucet valve seat causing a

slow water leak.

TROUBLESHOOTING

FILTRATIONISSUES(Filtration available as an option)

Water taste or odor.

New filter leaks or

doesn’t fit.

No water flow or

low water flow.

• Filter needs to be flushed out.
• Life of filter has expired.

• Head and bracket not fully rotated.
• Filter O-ring breach.

• Life of filter has expired.

• Activate the faucet lever and run until the water is cold.

If there is no change, replace filter cartridge.

• Remove, inspect, reinstall filter cartridge.
• Remove new filter, replace with old filter. Check operation.

If OK, reinstall new filter and recheck operation.

• Replace filter cartridge.

Electric Shock Hazard: To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before

servicing unit. Use only a properly grounded and polarized electric outlet.

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.

Carbon filters should be replaced within 12 months.
Filter replacement instructions:

Replace with an InSinkErator

filter.

Place pan or dish towel under the filter

to catch water drainage during change.

Slowly turn the cartridge counter-clockwise

completely until it stops (1/4 turn).

Pull cartridge straight down and discard.

Insert new cartridge into filter head.

Top surface of cartridge will become

flush with the bottom of the filter head

when fully engaged.

Turn the cartridge clockwise until it

stops (1/4 turn).

Align the in/out arrow on the head and

bracket assembly to the in/out arrow on

the cartridge.

Open faucet to expel trapped air.

Run water for 3 minutes before usage.

The temperature on the chilled

water tank is controlled by the

temperature control knob

on the front of the unit.

For colder water

Turn the control knob

clockwise. Allow 60 mins.
For less cold water

Turn the control knob counterclockwise.
To shut down the chilled water tank –

Turn control knob counterclockwise

to the “OFF” position.

Regularly inspect the unit for any signs

of leakage. If there are signs of water

damage, immediately remove the unit

from service.
To avoid water damage from leakage,

replace all cut, loose or split tubing.
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.

PROPERTY DAMAGE

CARE AND USE

Only use mild cleaners to clean the

faucet and plastic components.
Cleaners with acids, abrasives,

alkaline or organic solvents will result in

deterioration of the plastic components

and void the warranty.
