UNPACKING
1. Remove all packing materials. This includes the foam and all adhesive tape
holding the accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remaining packaging, tape and printed material
before turning on the water dispenser.
Note: Allow the water dispenser to stand in an upright position for at least
10 hours before turning on the power.
PROPER LOCATION
• To ensure that your water dispenser works at the maximum efficiency it was
designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air
circulation and electrical connections.
• Maintain a sufficient distance (about 6-7 inches, 15cm) between the wall and
the back of the unit. Avoid locating the water dispenser in direct contact with
sunlight, water and heating units. Room temperature should not exceed 90˚F
(32˚C) or drop below 32˚F (0˚C) for optimal functioning.
• Select a suitable location for the unit on a hard even surface away from direct
sunlight and heat sources (e.g., radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking
appliances, etc.).
Note: Hot and cold water will not be instantly available as the unit will need
time to heat up and cool down the water.
CAUTION: DO NOT turn on “Hot Water Switch” and the
“Cold Water Switch” (not on all models) in the rear
of the water dispenser until water flows through
both Hot and Cold water faucets.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord containing a grounding
wire and a grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
• Improper use of the plug may result in the risk of electric shock.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether
the appliance has been properly grounded.
WIRING REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be plugged into a 15A 115V~60Hz
GROUNDED OUTLET.
Note: Where a standard two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong outlet.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
HOT WATER
The water in the hot tank is heated by a band type heater. A temperature sensor
(Bi-metal) is attached to the hot water tank, which controls the water temperature.
A secondary over-heating prevention sensor (Bi-metal) is attached to the hot water
tank, which will prevent the heater from overheating.
Please turn off the hot water switch on the back panel when not using hot water.
COLD WATER
The water in the cold water tank is cooled by a Compressor Cooling System. The
temperature of cold water is sensed and controlled by a thermostat. The cooling
time depends on the environmental conditions where water dispenser is used.
PROPER CARE AND CLEANING
Caution! Before using any cleaning product, always read and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury
and/or product damage.
Note: It is best to clean the unit and its surrounding area in between
replacing the empty bottle with a new one. This way you can move the
unit easily without the weight of the bottle.
GENERAL
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with
warm water. Use a sponge or a soft cloth dampened with the cleaning solution
to wipe down the unit.
• Wipe with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of
these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor the unit.
• The spilled water in the drip tray must be removed regularly and cleaned
properly to avoid any bacteria and residue build-up.
• We recommend that you clean the water dispenser at least twice a year.
When cleaning, you do not need to take anything apart.
WARNING!
Always unplug the unit before cleaning
to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so
may result in death or injury.

CLEANING THE CONDENSER COILS
• We recommend that you move the dispenser away from the wall and vacuum
or brush the coils on the rear of the unit at least 4 times a year. Some operat
-
ing environments may require more frequent cleaning.
MOVING AND STORAGE
• Turn off the hot switch on the back of the unit and unplug your Water Dispenser
before moving it to another location.
• Remove water bottle from the cabinet prior to relocating the dispenser.
• If you will be storing your Water Dispenser, completely drain all the water from
the tanks via the Hot and Cold Water tap and hot drain valve to prevent the
remaining water from stagnating.
• With a soft cloth, dry the moisture left on each part of the dispenser.
• Pack the dispenser into the corrugated box with the Styrofoam used for
shipping to prevent the dispenser from being damaged and contaminated by
foreign substances.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problems are sometimes caused by simple “faults” that can be easily
corrected with or without the help of a service technician by first checking
a few basic remedies. The following can be helpful for diagnosis of the
problem and solution:
Appliance does not operate
• Is the power supply cut off? Check another electrical appliance at the electrical
outlet, or check fuse on the back of the unit. If needed, replace the fuse with a
250V 8AMP.
Note: Remove power cord from outlet before replacing fuse.
Cooling efficiency is poor
• Check if the unit is placed close to stove or heater. Place the unit away from
these heat sources.
• Check if the unit is placed close to wall. Leave some space between the back
of the unit and the wall.
• Are there any unnecessary objects around the unit? Remove all the objects.
• Check if the ambient temperature is too high. Regulate the ambient
temperature properly.
Heating efficiency is poor
• Check if the heater switch is set to the “OFF” position. Set the switch to “ON.”
• Check if the ambient temperature is too low. Regulate the ambient
temperature properly.
Generates abnormal noises
• Is the appliance placed on an uneven floor? Position the appliance on a firm
and even surface.
• Is there an obstacle at the back of the appliance? Remove the obstacle.
Pump does not work
• If front door is not closed, the pump will not operate. Please make sure
door is closed.
Drinking water does not flow well
• Check if the water tank is empty. Make sure that the pump operates properly
and that the water bottle has enough water.
• Check if the water flow pipe and the lever are clean and unblocked.
Clean the pipe and the lever.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
About Bottle Replacement
Do I have to open the Front Door to see if the Bottle is empty?
No. “Empty Indicator” and “Beep” sound will let you know when it is empty.
When do I replace the bottles?
When there is a beep and the empty LED display starts blinking.
Why do I sometimes hear the Beeping Alarm even though the
Bottle is not empty ?
This happens when you dispense water for more than 5 minutes at a time. The
“Beep” is designed to work when tank is not full after the pump has been
operating for 10 minutes.
How do I stop the Alarm?
Just reset the Dispenser by opening and closing the front door.
Will the Beep sound again after I replace the empty Bottle with a
new one?
No, a microprocessor in the dispenser knows that you’ve replaced the bottles
since you opened and closed the “Front Door.” So you won’t hear the “Beep”
again after replacing the bottles because the pump will work for 10 minutes,
which is enough time for the pump to refill the both hot & cold water tanks.
Could I drink the last drop of the water in the “Bottle”?
No, you couldn’t. A couple of cups of water left in the bottle won’t be drinkable
because the bottom of the bottle is not flat, so it is impossible for the absorption
tube to absorb the last drop of the water in the bottle.
If you need service, please first see the “Troubleshooting” section of
the User Manual. After checking “Troubleshooting,” additional help
is available by calling 1-866-955-AQUA (2782).
