InSinkErator Announces Availability of New Instant Hot Water Dispensers to Complement Traditional Decor

Racine, Wis. - (December 17, 2007) - InSinkErator®, the leading manufacturer of food waste disposers and instant hot water dispensers, today announced the availability of its new line of instant hot water dispensers, the Series 2200. Coinciding with recent kitchen design trends, the new product line consists of two traditional high-end faucet models, Country and Victorian. InSinkErator is a division of St. Louis-based Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE: EMR).

Though the U.S. kitchen has evolved throughout the years, traditional style is still in strong demand and is estimated to exist in up to 80 percent of today's homes. The Series 2200 incorporates two faucet styles to appeal to homeowners wishing to combine traditional elegance with modern convenience.

InSinkErator's Country model fits well with farmhouse style kitchens. It features a C spout with a decorative high arc and an overall country-inspired look. The Victorian model features a unique L spout and is appropriate for any vintage-inspired kitchen or an eclectic and modern design mix.

"The Series 2200 gives homeowners additional design options when considering an instant hot water dispenser," said Scott Roth, product manager at InSinkErator. "The two faucet styles call to mind popular design concepts of the past that align well with current home trends, as well as fill a homeowner's need for kitchen products that expedite life's daily routines."

Both designs are available in hot/cool and hot-only water models. The two faucet styles, which can be installed with the new InSinkErator stainless steel tank, are available in 12 designer finishes, including satin nickel and oil rubbed bronze. The Series 2200 also comes standard with the F-201 filtration system, which reduces chlorine taste and odor.

With the Series 2200 instant hot water dispenser, consumers have 200-degree Fahrenheit water at their command, enabling them to perform a variety of tasks, from preparing tea, hot cocoa and other beverages to cooking pasta al dente in record time.

The Series 2200 is available through plumbers, kitchen designers, remodelers and home centers. For more information, visit www.insinkerator.com.
