InSinkErator HWT-F1000S Tank and Filter System - Manual (Page 9)

FILTRATION INFORMATION
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding:
• Read and follow Use Instructions provided with the original system before installation
and use of this product.
To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and to ensure optimal filter performance:
• Change the disposable filter cartridge every six months or sooner if you
observe a noticeable reduction in water flow rate.
• 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.
• For systems using two handle HC model faucets, operate only one handle
at a time.
• For questions or concerns, please contact Customer Service at
1-800-558-5700.
The InSinkErator Instant Hot Water Dispenser Filtration System offers two levels
of filtration, depending on the filter used:
F-1000S is intended for use in filtering
particulates, chlorine taste and odor from drinking water, and has not been evaluated
for other uses;
F-2000S reduces particulates, chlorine taste and odor, plus cysts,
lead, mercury, asbestos, benzene, atrazine, 2,4-D, Lindane, Carbofuran and
p-Dichlorobenzene. The system is typically installed (near or beneath a sink) where
filtered drinking water is desired, and must be installed, operated and maintained as
specified in the installation and use instructions.

WHAT TO DO
Water and steam spits
forcefully from spout
without turning on the
dispenser faucet.
Water is not hot.
• Unit is boiling.
May be normal during initial setup.
• The unit is unplugged.
• The electric outlet is inoperative.
• Activate faucet lever to release some water from
the tank.
• Adjust water temperature using dial on tank front.
Remember that at higher altitudes, water boils
at lower temperatures.
• Make sure the unit is connected to a properly grounded
electric outlet.
• Make sure the circuit breaker or fuses are
functioning properly.
• Check that the outlet is not switched off.
Water is too hot
or not hot enough.
• Thermostat is not adjusted to
your needs.
• Adjust the thermostat slowly, then activate faucet lever for 20
seconds to bring in fresh water to be heated at the new setting.
Allow 5-7 minutes for water to reach new temperature.
Water comes out the
vent instead of spout.
• Outlet tube is blocked. • Check that outlet tube is not kinked, twisted or pinched.
• Unscrew spout end piece and clean out any debris.
Water is dripping from
the spout/vent
intermittently.
• The expansion chamber isn’t draining
properly due to low water pressure.
• The spout is blocked.
• Unplug the unit. If the dripping doesn’t stop after a few
minutes, 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).
• Unscrew spout end piece and clean out any debris.
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.
• Unscrew spout end piece and clean out any debris.
• Activate faucet lever 7-10 times to flush faucet & lines.
Divided stream. • Debris in the end piece. • Unscrew spout end piece and clean out any debris.
