2. Safety Instructions
For your satisfaction and safety, read this guide thoroughly before installing and using the
HOTAP water heater faucet.
For best performance, we recommend this appliance be installed by a licensed electrician
and in accordance with all electrical and plumbing codes applicable to your area, and as
specified in this guide.
Failure to comply with the safety, installation or operating instructions will void the product
warranty.
This appliance is suitable for household and indoor use.
Do not attempt to install, clean, inspect, disassemble or service the faucet without first
shutting off power to the unit from the breaker panel.
Never attempt to modify the internal wiring of the faucet. Doing so is potentially dangerous
and will void the appliance’s warranty.
This appliance is not intended for use by small children or people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, unless they are properly supervised and instructed on the
use of the electric faucet.
CAUTION – To provide continued protection against shock: Connect only to a properly
grounded GFCI protected receptacle outlet
Do not immerse in water.
Household use only.
To provide continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded
outlets only.
•
The product manufacturer and the product distributor will not be liable for any damages or
injury caused by failure to comply with the installation and operating instructions specified
in this manual or by improper use of the product.
•
•
This appliance must be connected to a household water supply.
This appliance must be connected directly to a dedicated 30A double-pole circuit breaker
on the main electrical panel.
•
•
Do not turn on the faucet if it is not connected to the water supply.
If your water supply contains more than 200 ppm chlorine, it is recommended to use a
water filtration system.
•
If the water inside the faucet freezes, it can cause damage that is not covered by warranty.
Do not turn on the faucet if you suspect water has frozen within the appliance. Wait until you
are certain that the system has completely thawed before you turn it on.
•
•
•
A mesh screen filter is installed on the water inlet, and should be removed and cleaned
regularly.
Use the handle to adjust the water flow, which in turn will increase (or decrease) the water
temperature.
The faucet underwent factory testing for water leakage and energization. It is normal to
find residual water at the inlet and outlet of the faucet. Water should be flushed through the
faucet before use.
5
•
•
Rated pressure of the faucet is 0 kPa (0 bar). Make sure the water outlet is not blocked.
If connecting a garden hose to the faucet, be sure the water outlet of the hose is open and
not obstructed, to prevent continuous heating activation. Do not attach a spray handle to
the hose.
•
Make sure the hole through the counter is large enough for the electric cable to pass freely
through it. The cable should also pass easily through the notches in the pedestal and rubber
pads, as shown in the installation diagrams. Failure to install the electric cable properly
could cause the wires to fray, which will void the appliance’s warranty.
If you detect damage to the wiring within the faucet, you must contact the manufacturer.
The faucet must not be used until the unit wiring has been repaired.
3. HOTAP Features
The HOTAP water heater faucet is designed for household and indoor use. It is suited for use in
kitchens, washrooms, bathrooms, garages, workspaces, and more.
The faucet can provide hot water instantly at any location that has access to both a cold water

Operating the faucet is intuitive and requires few instructions. It works much like a regular water
faucet.
