I wasn't given any instructions on the use of the new Insinkerator, but someone should have advised me that the water had a "strange" taste upon first using it. I will research it now to see if I missed doing something to prevent this taste. The water tank - should I have let it run out several times before using?
I do not remember this happening to my first Insinkerator (also brand new, but I replaced because I moved the sink and did not need the "cold" water spigot).
