INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:

weii to the floor. Note: Only the front right foot is adjustable.

Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
electrica! consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance

not to perform properly.
Allow 2 inches of space between the water dispenser and the wall, which allows the

proper air circulation to cool the compressor.

Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any
questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician or an authorized Avanti Products service center.
This water dispenser is not recommended for outdoor use.
Do not locate the dispenser in area where the temperature may fail below freezing (32° F).
Keep area around dispenser free of dust and dirt.
Keep the reserve supply of water bottles away from excessive heat and light.
Never unplug the water cooler, except for maintenance.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Before Using Your Water Dispenser

• Check to be sure the following parts are included;

■ 4 Extra Cup Dispenser Cabinet Plugs

■ Accessories Order Form.

• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately
2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from
handling during transportation.

• The water dispenser is pre-cieaned at the factory but the reservoir and water lines must be
flushed with fresh water before use as follows:

• Keep the unit unplugged.

r‘

• Fill water tank with tap water full to capacity (more than 3/4 of a gallon). Wait for 5

minutes until water settles.

• Press the room temperature water faucet until water comes out, then stop.

• Plug the dispenser into the electrical outlet. We are ready to complete the first cycle. In
order to do that, wait for approximately 40 minutes for the cold water to reach its
designed temperature.

• Unplug the dispenser from the electrical outlet. Proceed to drain the water from the

faucets one at a time until no more water remains.

(Note; To facilitate this operation, use a large container).

• Then, drain any water left in the tanks by opening both water faucets until it drains
completely.

• Place the 3-5 gallon bottle of water on the water intake, allow water to stand for

approximately one minute.

• Turn on water faucets to insure water flows from both faucets.

• Plug dispenser back into the electrical outlet.

• Now you are ready to use your water dispenser.

NOTE: Your water dispenser has been cleaned and sanitized before leaving the factory, but
in case a taste problem develops, place one tablespoon of baking soda and add tap water. Fill
water tank again and repeat basic operations previously outlined.

OPERATING YOUR WATER DISPENSER

Electrical Connection

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is

equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize

the possibility of electrical shock.

Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any

circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized Avanti Products service center.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120-volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.

Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

OPERATING YOUR WATER DISPENSER

Steps to replace water bottles

• Use a clean cloth to wipe off neck of bottle.

• Remove cap.

Carefully lift bottle (approx. 40 lbs.) using your legs and not your back. Do not place hands on

opening of bottle while placing in reservoir.

Insert the water bottle on the water intake over reservoir opening so it settles properly on it.

Wipe off any water which may have splashed on dispenser top.

Cold Water Control

Turn on the power switch at the back of the unit. The amber (cool) indicator will be lit and the
process begins. When the water reaches the right temperature the amber (cool) light goes off and
the green (cold) light turns on.

A cup dispenser may be installed by using the mounting holes (covered with plastic caps) located
near the top of the right side panel of the cooler. The cup dispenser comes equipped with a
mounting bracket and screws and may be ordered by completing the enclosed order form
provided with your instruction manual.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Wash the inside of the reservoir with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution

should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

• At regular intervals or once a month inspect the coils located across the back of the dispenser.

Vacuum accumulation of dust or clean it with a hard brush.

• If the water dispenser will not be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from

the wall outlet.

• Drain the water through the faucets.

dispenser.
