Energy-saving tips and preparation for periods of
nonuse
On average, you will use your hot
water dispenser to heat 7 to 8 cups
of water per day. This uses only 19
kilowatt-hours of energy per month.
So it is Not necessary to turn off the
hot water dispenser each night to
conserve energy. However, if the hot water dispenser
will not be used for an extended
period of time, follow these
instructions:
Set the Temperature Control to the
“Off” position to conserve energy.
For short periods (2-30 days of nonuse):
screws
base plate
O-ring
screw
For long periods of
nonuse (winterizing,
seasonal storage or
protection from freezing):
1. Turn Temperature Control to the
“Off” position.
2. Unplug hot water dispenser power
supply cord.
3. Turn On/Off Cap, hold and run
water until water is cold.
4. Turn saddle valve handle
clockwise to turn off water supply.
5. Place a 3-quart minimum
container under the drain plug at
the bottom of the tank.
6. Use a screwdriver to remove the
screw and O-ring from the drain
tube.
7. Replace the screw and O-ring in
the drain tube opening. Tighten
the screw to reseal the drain.
When ready to use the dispenser
again, follow Installation
