Cleaning the Faucet Screen
If you have very hard water, and you notice that the water flow is
reduced or has become uneven, it may be necessary to clean the
faucet screen.

and turn faucet cap clockwise and run water until it is cold to
avoid possibility of burn.
2. Use a small brush and vinegar to remove hard-water deposit
from the faucet screen.
3. Push down and turn faucet cap clockwise to run water briefly
to remove vinegar and deposits from screen.
4. Turn Temperature Control to the“Max” setting. The dispenser
will be ready in about 15 minutes.
HOT WATER DISPENSER CARE
Energy-saving tips and preparation for periods of nonuse.
On average, you will use your hot water dispenser to heat 7 to 8
cups (1.7 to 1.9 liters) 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:
For short periods (2-30 days of nonuse).
Set the Temperature Control to the “Off” position to conserve
energy.
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 faucet cap, hold and run water until water is cold.
4. Turn supply valve off.
5. Remove the copper faucet tube by pressing the collet down
and pulling the copper faucet tube up. It is easier to push the
collet down if a 1/4" or 7 mm open-end wrench is used as
shown.
6. Using pliers, open the hose clamp on the flexible tube and
slide the clamp about 2" (5 cm) from the end of the tubing.
Remove the flexible tube from the tank tube.
7. Lift the hot water dispenser tank up and off the mounting
bracket.
8. Hold the hot water dispenser tank over a sink, turn the
dispenser upside down and let all the water drain out of the
tank tube.
