OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Water Dispenser

• Check to be sure the following parts are included:

§ Instruction manual

§ 2 extra drain plug seals

• 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 cool ing system from handling during transportation.

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

• Keep the unit unplugged.

• 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 hot water faucet until water comes out, then stop.

• Plug the dispenser into the electrical outlet. Both heating and cooling indicator lights

on front will light up at first. We are ready to complete the first cycle. In order to do that, wait for the hot water indicator light to go off first (approximately 10 minutes), then wait for the cold water indicator light to go off (another 40 minutes, approximately).

• 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 the drain plug located on the back, until it drains completely.

• Proceed to close the drain cap.

Be sure the drain plug seal is in place. If not, replace with one of the spares included with this manual. Closing the drain cap without the seal in place will result in leakage and possible damage to the water dispenser and or its surroundings.

• Place the 5-gallon bottle of water on the water intake, allow water to stand for approximately one minute.

• Open water faucets to insure water flows from both faucets.

• Check the area around the drain valve at the rear of the unit for leakage.

• Plug dispenser 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 two tablespoons of baking soda and add tap water. Fill water tank again and repeat basic operations previously outlined, except turn the switch marked HOT “OFF” to avoid leaving residues in hot water tank.

ATTENTION:

If you do not plan to use the water heating function for more than three days, we

recommend that you turn the HOT switch to the “OFF” position.

IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF THE POWER CORD IS DAMAGED, HAVE IT REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZE D AVANTI PRODUCTS SERVICE CENTER.
