After extensive searching there is no procedure shown. Presumably, you leave it, or you remove it from the installation, turn it upside down and shake it. Then put CLR and water in it to descale it, then rinse and reinstall. Hot water storage tanks have a drain at the bottom and an access hole from the element. After a year of use there should be nothing in it.
This faucet is the hot only version so it has two copper lines and one Santoprene rubber line. The copper line directly under the handle is the inlet from the wall - the second copper line attaches to the hot water tank by the corner. The Santoprene line attaches to the middle of the hot water tank. This faucet cannot be installed without the hot water tank.
I had the exact same problem. I even replaced the first unit with a second unit...because I was sure I hooked everything up correctly. Then I called their support line and and felt very stupid. They asked one question "are you plugging in the Quick&Hot into the same electrical outlet as the garbage disposal"?. I said yes..and the garbage disposal works fine (thinking that this indicates a good electrical outlet). She then said "That outlet works off of a switch so no electricity is getting to the Quick&Hot until the disposal is turned on). Gosh darn it...that made total sense. I then tested this out by plugging an extension cord into a different outlet and it worked fine. Boy...do I feel stupid. Hope this helps.
I would contact the Anaheim Manufacturing Company, that makes the Waste King Quick water heater. You can also go on-line @ www.wasteking.com and check out their site for a solution.
