InSinkErator SST-FLTR Tank and Fliter System - Manual (Page 8)

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:
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop below 40°F (4.4°C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (828 kPa). If your water pressure
exceeds 120 psi, you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer
conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of
this filter system is 100°F (38°C).
• The disposable filter cartridge must be replaced every twelve months or at the
specified service cycle.
• Read and follow instructions before installation and use of this system.
The InSinkErator ® Instant Hot Water Dispenser Filtration System is intended for use in filtering
sediment, chlorine taste and odor from drinking water, and has not been evaluated for other
uses. 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.
F-201R Cartridge (included with this system) Chemical & Mechanical Reduction Filter Specifications:
This cartridge provides mechanical and chemical reduction of dirt/rust, taste/odor and chlorine.
Filter Capacity: 500 gallons, depending on local water conditions. Note that while the testing was performed under
standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. For cold water use only. Systems must be
installed and operated in accordance with the Manufacturer’s recommended procedures and guidelines. See warranty
card for warranty. For service and parts, contact your local dealer or InSinkErator
® directly at 1-800-558-5700.
Application guidelines/Water Supply Parameters for NSF Testing: Service flow of 0.75 gpm, community or
private well water supply, water pressure of 20-120 psi, water temperature of 33˚F–100˚F. Except as noted, all
testing performed at pH = 7.5 ± 0.5, Flow: 0.75 gpm, Pressure: 60 psi, Temp: 20˚±3˚C.
Contact an authorized InSinkErator service agent for repairs or replacement components.
Pressure: 20-120 psi
Temperature: 33 º F - 100 º F
Flow Rate: 0.75 gpm
Capacity: 500 gallons
Tested and Certified by NSF International against
NSF/ANSI Standard 42 in model F-201 for the reduction
of claims specified on the Performance Data Sheet.
Electric Shock Hazard: To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before
servicing unit. Use only a properly grounded and polarized electric outlet.
CARE AND USE
Scalding Hazard: Do not allow
water to boil. May result in
severe burns.
Factory temperature pre-set is 200˚F.
To reset the thermostat to 200°,
turn the indicator two notches to
the right of vertical.
Adjust the thermostat
slowly, turning the dial
clockwise to increase
temperature or counter
clockwise to decrease temperature, then
activate 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.
ADjUSTINg THE THERMOSTAT
Only use mild cleaners to clean the faucet
and plastic components.
Cleaners with acids, abrasives, alkaline or
organic solvents will result in deterioration of
the plastic components and void the warranty.
CLEANINg THE FAUCET AND TANK
Replace filter cartridge when there is an obvious decrease
in water flow to the faucet or if there is an objectionable
taste or odor to the water.
When the inlet and outlet ports have been closed and
the filter’s internal pressure has been relieved, water
(about 2 oz) will discharge from vent line.
If the new filter cartridge cannot be inserted, insert the
old one and turn until it stops, remove it and then retry
the new cartridge.
Carbon filters should be replaced within 12 months.
FILTER gUIDE AND REPLACEMENT
Filter replacement instructions:
Replace with an InSinkErator ® filter.
Place pan or dish towel under the filter to
catch water drainage during change.
Slowly turn the cartridge counter-clockwise
completely until it stops (1/4 turn).
Pull cartridge straight down and discard.
Insert new cartridge into filter head.
Top surface of cartridge will become flush
with the bottom of the filter head when
fully engaged.
Turn the cartridge clockwise until it stops
(1/4 turn).
Align the in/out arrow on the head and
bracket assembly to the in/out arrow on
the cartridge.
Open faucet to expel trapped air.
Run water for 3 minutes before usage.
Regularly inspect the unit for any signs of
leakage. If there are signs of water damage,
immediately remove the unit from service.
To avoid water damage from leakage,
replace all cut, loose or split tubing.
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.
PROPERTY DAMAgE
Anytime the instant hot water dispenser is not used for
extended periods of time, unplug and drain unit. If it is below
freezing you will need to unplug the unit and drain it.
Disconnect power from unit (unplug unit).
Push hot water dispenser faucet lever and
allow water to flow until it is cool.
Shut the cold water supply off at the valve.
Disconnect tubes from the tank.
Unhook tank from wall.
Hold tank upside down and drain the water
