or “you” or “your”).  
InSinkErator warrants to Customer that your InSinkErator Product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship,  
subject to the exclusions described below, for a period of 1 year (the “Warranty Period”), commencing on the later of: (a) the  
date your InSinkErator Product is originally installed, (b) the date of purchase, or (c) the date of manufacture as identified by  
your InSinkErator Product serial number. You will be required to show written documentation supporting (a) or (b). If you are  
unable to provide documentation supporting either (a) or (b), the Warranty Period commencement date will be determined by  
Manufacturer, in its sole and absolute discretion, based upon your InSinkErator Product serial number.  
Personal Injury: This tank is a non-pressurized tank. DO NOT modify this system.

and component parts (collectively, “Dornbracht Water Dispenser”) which Dornbracht expressly states in writing is/are compatible  
with such InSinkErator Product(s). Use of your InSinkErator Product with any other manufacturer’s products or in any combination  
other than as expressly stated above will void this warranty.

rags, paper or aerosol cans near the tank. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other  
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.  
This warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship, subject to the exclusions below, in InSinkErator Products used  
by a consumer Customer for residential use only, and includes all replacement parts and labor costs. YOUR SOLE AND  
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE

An instant hot water dispenser, like any water heater, has a limited life and will eventually  
fail. To avoid possible property damage and personal injury, this instant hot water dispenser  
should be regularly examined for leakage and/or corrosion 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. To check  
for corrosion, examine the appearance of the dispensed water in a clear glass once every  
three (3) months. If there is any discoloration or rusty appearance, unplug and drain unit as  
described in the Seasonal Storage/Drainage section on page 10 of this manual. If the water  
discoloration remains after draining and refilling unit, discontinue use and contact an  
authorized InSinkErator service agent.

dents or comparable and reasonably expected losses or damages.
