User Guide and Maintenance
Leak Detection
Our machines are equipped with a high-tech leak detector that will alert you of any
potential leak. At the same time the machine will automatically shut o any intake of water to
prevent a potential flood. In the event of a possible leak, power/self-cleaning indicator light (#1),
the heating indicator light (#2) and cooling indicator light (#3) will start blinking and a beep will
sound. Please check around the machine for any leaking water and determine the source of it.
If you find the source of the leak, you can call our support line for assistance in fixing it. If you do
not find the source of this leak, it may have been caused by accidental spillage of water or from
a filter change. The leak detector is located on the lower back left corner of the cabinet. Unplug
your water cooler and ensure the area around this sensor is completely dry including the notch.
Once the area and sensor are dry, plug the machine back in and the beeping and blinking
indicator lights will stop and the machine will be ready to use as normal again.

Cleaning
Activating Self-Cleaning Function
It is recommended that the self-cleaning feature is used once a week to
sanitize the tanks and water lines.
1. To activate, press the self-cleaning switch (#12) and hold in the on position for 5
seconds and release. The switch will immediately go back into the o (O) position.
2. The power/self-cleaning indicator light (#1) will begin to blink. This indicates the
self-cleaning cycle is underway.
3. Ozone will be produced and injected into the water system, it will kill bacteria
and bio-films typically found in water dispensers. By the end of the cleaning cycle
the ozone will convert into harmless oxygen and will be emitted into the air.
4. When the self-cleaning cycle is complete the power/self-cleaning indicator light
(#1) will stop blinking and will be steady.
Please Note: This self-cleaning cycle will take 90 minutes to complete. During
this time do not dispense and drink the water. We recommend you do this during
a period of time when the unit will not be in use for example overnight. During
the cycle you may smell some of the ozone, this is normal.

Indicator lights are flashing and unit is beeping
If indicator lights #1, #2, #3 are flashing and the unit is making a slow beeping
sound, it is alerting you that there may be a leak in the unit. Please refer to page 23.
Please turn o the switches on the back of the unit and unplug the unit.
Ensure that the bottom of the cabinet is completely dry. The sensor is located in the

and continue normal use.
Water leaking from unit
• Check to make sure that pipes are connected properly.
• Inspect the adapter to ensure that it is connected properly.
• Water pipe may need to be replaced.
Water not dispensing at a hot or cold temperature
This could be caused by an over consumption of water in a short period of time causing
the tanks to empty. Please allow 5 to 10 minutes for the water cooler tanks to refill. Allow
the proper time for the water to heat and cool.
This could be caused by an interruption in the power supply. Please ensure that the
power cord is connected to an outlet. Please make sure that the heating (#15) and
cooling (#14) switches are in the on (I) position.
