TROUBLESHOOTING
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 may not be plugged in.
• The electric outlet is inoperative.
• Depress 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 depress or twist faucet handle
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.
• Depress or twist lever 7-10 times to flush faucet & lines.
Divided stream • Debris in the faucet lines. • Unscrew spout end piece and clean out any debris.

An instant hot water dispenser, like any water heater, has a limited life and will eventually fail. To avoid
possible property damage, this instant hot water dispenser should be regularly examined for leakage and
replaced when necessary. A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector,
should be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage.
