4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure you have a dedicated 120V grounded electrical outlet under the sink.
- Confirm adequate space for the heating tank and filter unit.
- Verify that the sink deck thickness is within the maximum limit of 1-5/8 inches.
- Ensure the faucet hole size is 1-3/8 inches.
- Turn off the main water supply before starting installation.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Install the Faucet: Insert the faucet shank through the designated hole in the sink deck. Secure it from underneath with the provided washer and mounting nut. Connect the hot and cold water lines to the faucet.
- Mount the Heating Tank: Position the heating tank unit under the sink in a stable location. Ensure it is easily accessible for maintenance.
- Install the Water Filter: Mount the filter housing securely to the cabinet wall. Connect the cold water supply line to the inlet of the filter housing.
- Connect Water Lines: Connect the filtered water outlet from the filter housing to the inlet of the heating tank. Connect the hot water outlet from the heating tank to the hot water inlet of the faucet. Connect the cold water supply directly to the cold water inlet of the faucet (if applicable, or through the filter if the filter serves both).
- Electrical Connection: Plug the heating tank's power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not turn on the power yet.
- Flush the System: Turn on the main water supply. Open the faucet handle to the cold position and let water run for several minutes to flush out air and any debris. Then, open to the hot position and allow the tank to fill and water to flow until steady. Check for leaks at all connections.
- Power On: Once the system is flushed and leak-free, turn on the power to the heating tank.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 First Use
After installation and powering on, the heating tank will begin to heat the water to the set temperature. This may take several minutes. The digital display on the tank will show the current water temperature.
5.2 Dispensing Hot Water
To dispense hot water, move the faucet's single lever handle to the hot position. Exercise caution as the water dispensed will be near boiling temperature.
5.3 Dispensing Cold Water
To dispense cold water, move the faucet's single lever handle to the cold position. This water is filtered but not chilled by the heating tank.
5.4 Temperature Adjustment
The heating tank features a digital display and control buttons. Refer to the specific instructions provided with the heating tank for details on how to adjust the desired hot water temperature. The display typically shows the current temperature, such as 208°F.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the Dispenser
- Clean the exterior of the faucet and heating tank with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- For the Satin English Gold finish, use a mild soap solution if necessary, and rinse thoroughly.
6.2 Filter Replacement
The water filter cartridge should be replaced periodically, typically every 6-12 months, depending on water quality and usage. Refer to the filter manufacturer's instructions for specific replacement procedures. Always turn off the water supply before replacing the filter.
6.3 Descaling
Over time, mineral deposits (scale) can build up inside the heating tank, affecting performance. Descaling may be required, especially in hard water areas. Consult the heating tank's specific manual for descaling instructions. This process typically involves draining the tank and using a food-grade descaling solution.
