INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove all packing materials. This includes the foam base 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

12 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.

• The following are the recommended clearances around the water dispenser.

Sides 2" (50mm) Back 4" (100mm)

• Do not install your water dispenser in any location that is not properly

insulated or heated because the unit is not designed to operate in room temperature below 55˚F / 13˚C. The water dispenser is for indoor use only. Room temperature should not exceed 97° F / 36° C.

Note: Thermostats maintain the hot and cold water temperatures

automatically. On the compressor cooled water coolers the hot water temperature will be between 190˚-203˚ F/ 88˚- 95˚ C and the cold water temperature will be between 43˚- 50˚ F/ 6˚-10˚ C.

• 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.).

CAUTION: DO NOT plug in the water dispenser until full bottle is

installed first and water flows from both Hot and Cold water faucets.

Note: Hot and cold water will not be instantly available as the unit will need

time to heat up and cool down the water.

English

ELECTRICAL CONECTIONS

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 15Amp, 115 Volt, 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.

EXTENSION CORDS

We do not recommend the use of an extension cord with this unit.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

Occasionally, there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or

other causes. Remove the power cord from wall outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, re-plug the power cord into wall outlet.

English

PRECAUTIONS

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting

process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of

accordance with the instructions.

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 dispenser and its surrounding area when replacing

the empty bottle with a new one. This way you can move the unit easily without the weight of the bottle.

GENERAL

• Before cleaning, place a dust cover on top of the water guard to prevent dust

and debris from going into the dispenser while cleaning.

• 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.

English

Always unplug the unit before cleaning to avoid electric shock.

Failure to do so may result in death or injury.

• 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. Simply pour the baking soda/water solution through the water guard. Then rinse with plenty of water and allow the water to drain.

• Remove the accumulated water from the drip tray, and wipe the compartment

clean.

WARNING!

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 operating environments may require more frequent cleaning.

FOR LONG VACATIONS OR ABSENCES / MOVING

• Turn OFF water dispenser.

• Unplug the unit.

• If bottle still contains water, remove it quickly and

carefully to avoid spillage.

• Put a container or bucket on the floor under the drain on

the back of the unit to catch the water released from the drain tube.

• Remove the drain plug located on the side of the unit to

release the water and empty both the tanks.

Note: Remove drain plug by turning it in a “clockwise direction”. Please note not

to use any tools to remove or install the drain plug. Use hands only.

• After completing the drain process, replace the drain plug to its

original position.

• You must store the unit at room temperature.

• Avoid storing the unit where the temperature is at or below freezing.

• When moving, the unit must be moved vertically. DO NOT move the unit in

horizontal position as this may cause possible damage to internal parts.

• You must cover the unit to avoid dust and debris from entering the

water guard.

English

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If the power is switched on and the compressor will not start up:

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in properly

• If the water dispenser is brought indoors in the winter, give it a few hours to

warm up to room temperature before plugging it in. Cold bottled water or the temperature of the water dispenser itself may affect the thermostat setting. If the room temperature is lower than the thermostat setting or the water dispenser itself is cold the compressor will not start up. We do not advise that you make any adjustments to the thermostat setting.

If water dispenser operation is noisy:

• Make sure the water dispenser sits on a level surface. If the dispenser is

noisy after its first use, unplug it for half an hour and try again.

If the condenser becomes too hot:

• When the compressor is working, it is normal for the condenser to be hot. If

you are concerned that the temperature is too high, check to see that there is enough room around the water dispenser to allow proper ventilation.

If the cold water tap doesn’t work and the cold water tank freezes

• The cold water tap may freeze under extreme conditions. If the water is

not being used, the cooling compartment is loaded and the compressor is running continuously, the cold water tank can freeze.

• To thaw the cold water tank, turn off the power, unplug the unit and remove

the water bottle. Keep draining hot water and pouring it back into the water receptacle. Once the tank has thawed, place the bottle on the unit, plug the unit in again, and turn the hot and cold switches back on.

If the water is not cold enough:

• This is due to either a compressor malfunction or the cold water may be in

the OFF position.

• Check if the cold water is in the ON position.

• Cold water is used very frequently.

If water is dripping from the dispenser onto the floor:

• The water bottle may have small pinholes or cracks and may be leaking.

• The drain plug in the rear may be improperly fastened. Check that the soft

rubber seal is not torn or damaged.

• The drip tray may be full of water. Take out the drip tray and empty it before

replacing it.
