TROUBLESHOOTING
The following situations are not covered by the One Year Replacement Warranty.
1. Water is not hot: (assuming cold water supply is connected properly and valve is open)
• Check if dispenser is plugged in.
• Turn thermostat control dial fully clockwise. This may produce boiling water in approximately
15 minutes and possibly be accompanied by a gurgling sound in the tank and/or water “sputtering”
from the faucet.
If the water boils, turn thermostat control dial slightly counterclockwise until the gurgling and/or
“sputtering” stops. This should take place within 20 seconds. Turn control dial an additional 1/8” (3mm)
counterclockwise at the tip of the dial. Wait 15 minutes and check the temperature of the water.
• Check for blown fuse or circuit breaker is tripped (also see IMPORTANT NOTE explaining the
self re-setting thermal fuse in step 6 of installation).
NOTE: The thermostat activates the heater after water temperature in the tank drops approximately
15°F (8°C) from the maximum setting. The dispenser does not produce a continuous flow of hot water.
2. Hot water drips or sputters from faucet:
• Turn thermostat control dial counterclockwise (see item 1).
• Check that the hose connecting the faucet to the dispenser tank is not clogged, twisted or kinked.
• If quick-connect fitting is connecting cold water supply, check for a clogged filter screen in
quick-connect fitting (see CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE of faucet manual).
• Check for proper installation of copper tubing from faucet to dispenser tank and faucet to water line.
If connected backwards or cross-connected, valve may be damaged. Refer to Step 4 in this manual.
3. Water does not flow right away or at all:
• Due to high temperature and for safety reasons, the tank is not under pressure causing a slight delay
in water flow.
• Make sure all valves on water supply are open.
• Check hose from faucet for twisting or tight bending.
• Check if quick-connect filter screen or faucet filter screen is clogged (see faucet manual).
4. Water boils or vapor appears:
• Lower temperature setting by turning thermostat control dial counterclockwise.
NOTE: If lowering the thermostat setting does not stop the boiling, unplug the power supply cord and
contact customer service.
