Congratulations

and thank you for choosing
the Drinkpod Series 500.

Now you can enjoy your Drinkpod Series 500, the drinking
water appliance that replaces all of the bottled water you could
ever want.

Your Drinkpod Series 500 is designed to purify and disinfect tap
water at the point-of-use by utilizing one of the most advanced
filtration processes available. Once the tap water is treated by a
multi-stage filter process, it enters the cooling tank and hot
water tank. The hot water tank holds water hot enough for
coffee or a cup of soup.

All of our Drinkpod units include a free multi-stage micron
filtration system, an installation kit and this easy to read
manual. Your Drinkpod Series 500 is engineered to last
for years.

Should you have any questions about your Drinkpod Series
500, please refer to our website, www.drinkpodusa.com or
call us at 844-DRINKPOD (844-374-6576)

.

This manual provides instructions
for installing and maintaining
your Drinkpod Series 500.

IMPORTANT: Please do not store your Series 500 where it can freeze,

as permanent damage can occur to the filtration and plumbing
systems, and will void the warranty.

Unpacking the Unit

Unwrap the plastic strapping and carefully lift the box over the Series 500. Then
remove the protective wrapping and place the unit in the installation area.

WARNING: Plastic bags and wrapping can present a choking hazard for

small children. Please discard thoughtfully.

Before first use

Before using your Drinkpod Series 500, we suggest reading this manual
completely to ensure proper operation.

safety reminders

When using your Series 500, take steps to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury by
following these safety precautions. Please read all instructions:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, only remove the exterior panels when

instructed to do so and after unplugging your Series 500. Do not attempt to repair the Series
500, only authorized personnel should attempt repairs.

■

To protect against electric shock, do not place the cord,
plug, or Series 500 in water or other liquids.

■

Close supervision is necessary when the Series 500 is
used by or near children.

■

Always unplug the Series 500 from the electrical outlet
when not in use and before cleaning.

■

Always use caution when removing any parts such as
filters, the drip tray, or faucet.

■

Use the Series 500 only in dry locations, away from direct
sunlight, in ambient temperatures of 40°F-100°F.

■

Do not operate any Series 500 with a damaged cord or
plug, or after the Series 500 malfunctions, or has been

dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the Series
500 to your authorized Drinkpod dealer for examination,
repair, and electrical or mechanical adjustment.

■

The use of any accessory part not authorized by
Drinkpod may cause personal injury and/or damage to
the Series 500.

■

Do not let power cords or plumbing tubing hang over the
edge of tables or counters, or touch hot surfaces.

■

Do not place the Series 500 on or near a stove or other
hot surfaces.

■

Do not clean any parts with anything other than mild
soap and water and a non-abrasive cloth.

■

Avoid contact with moving parts.

■

Do not place cloth or other materials under or around the
Series 500.

■

Use only Drinkpod filters or warranty will be voided.

■

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
that result from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.

■

If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating
of the extension cord must be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the Series 500. Ensure the extension

cord is arranged so that it does not drape over the
counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on or tripped
over.

■

The power supply cord has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug will fit into a polarized, grounded outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
