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.

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.

• 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.
