following:

• WARNING: BURN HAZARD. The

dispenser heats water to a temperature of
approximately 190°F (88°C). Water
temperatures above 125°F (52°C) can
cause severe burns or death from
scalding. Children, the disabled and the
elderly are at highest risk of being
scalded. Children should be supervised by
an adult when using this product.

storage cabinet. They could tip the
dispenser over or fall and seriously injure
themselves. Children should be
supervised by an adult when using this
product.

• WARNING: FIRE HAZARD. Do not

store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance. Do not operate
dispenser with a damaged cord. Do not
use with an underrated extension cord.

DANGER: CHILD ENTRAPMENT HAZARD.
PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE WATER DISPENSER AS
DIRECTED BELOW.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
dispensers with storage areas are still
dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a
few days.” If you are getting rid of your old
water dispenser, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR
OLD DISPENSER:

• Take off the doors and discard

separately.

• Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

• If the dispenser door has a lock, make it
unusable.

REFRIGERANT DISPOSAL:

Your old water dispenser may have used a
regulated refrigerant in its cooling system.
These refrigerants are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing
away your old dispenser, make sure the
refrigerant is removed and recovered for
proper disposal by an EPA-certified
technician. If you intentionally release this
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and
imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

baseboard heaters, cooking appliances,
etc). Do not use when relative
humidity is greater than 90%.

3) Do not install the dispenser where the
surrounding air temperature will be
above 100°F (38°C) or below 50°F
(10°C).

PREPARING, LOADING & OPERATING YOUR DISPENSER

1) Make sure that the dispenser is not plugged into the electrical outlet and that both the

HEATING and COOLING power switches (on the back of the dispenser) are set to the OFF
position.

NOTICE: To prevent leaking water due to damaged seals, do NOT turn ON the

HEATING switch without water in the dispenser.

2) Sanitize the dispenser water tanks prior to installing a full bottle of water for the first time
(see “Proper Care and Cleaning of Dispenser”).

3) The water bottle will have a cap. The cap may have a stopper that is intended to be pushed
into the bottle. (Sometimes these stoppers are covered by a removable paper/foil seal.) If
your bottle has a cap with a stopper, simply hold the water bottle vertically straight upside
down and place the water bottle into the support collar on top of the water dispenser. The
post in the collar will push the stopper into the bottle.

If the water bottle cap does not have a stopper that is intended to be pushed into the bottle,
first remove the support collar of the water dispenser by turning it counterclockwise and
pulling it straight up and off. Then remove the spill-resistant piercing valve from the
support collar. Reinsert the support collar onto the water dispenser and turn it clockwise to
lock back in place.

Rotate counterclockwise
and pull straight off

Remove the cap from the water bottle. Quickly lift the water bottle, turn it upside down, and
place the water bottle onto the top of the water dispenser. Wipe up any water that spills on
to the water dispenser or floor.

4) Wait 5 minutes and then plug in the unit into a grounded power outlet (see “Grounding
Instructions”). Dispense 4 cups of water from each faucet.

5) Set the Heating and Cooling power switches (located on the rear of the dispenser) to the ON
position. Indicators light up accordingly once the dispenser is functioning.

6) Allow 4 hours for water to reach hot and cold temperatures.

WARNING: BURN HAZARD. The dispenser heats water to a temperature of
approximately 190°F (88°C). Water temperatures above 125°F (52°C) can cause
severe burns or death from scalding. Children, the disabled and the elderly are at
highest risk of being scalded. Children should be supervised by an adult when using
this product.

7) The hot water temperature is preset to 190°F (88°C). The hot faucet is equipped with a
child water guard that reduces the risk of hot water being dispensed accidentally or by small
children.

8) When bottle is empty, vertically pull it out by two hands, and then replace it with another
bottle.

9) The spilled water in the drip tray must be removed regularly and cleaned properly. To
remove it, slide tray out.

absences.

1) Set both power switches (on the back of the dispenser) to the OFF position and unplug the

dispenser.

(about 1 quart of water still remains in the dispenser). Put a container that will withstand
hot water under the hot water faucet.

3) Remove the water bottle from the dispenser.

WARNING: BURN HAZARD. The dispenser heats water to a temperature of
approximately 190°F (88°C). Water temperatures above 125 ° F (52 °C) can cause
severe burns or death from scalding. There are two Drain outlet caps. The left hand

Children should be supervised by an adult when using this product.

After draining, replace the silicon stoppers and caps.

6) Make sure to install a full bottle and dispense water from both water faucets before

plugging in and turning on the dispenser (see Preparing, Loading and Operating Your
Dispenser).

Cleaning the Drip Tray and Grill:

The drip tray is not self-draining. To reduce water spotting or deposits, the tray and its grill should be
emptied, cleaned and wiped dry regularly. Clean with mild soap or on the top rack in the dishwasher.

Sanitizing and Cleaning the Water Tanks:
Important: Periodically the water dispenser tanks must be sanitized to prevent unpleasant tastes in

the water and cleaned to remove mineral deposits that can impair flow.

To Sanitize:

Important: Before cleaning, set both power switches (on the back of the dispenser) to the OFF

position and unplug the water dispenser. Note: For first time installation, skip next three steps.

1) Empty the water bottle, and then remove it from the dispenser.

2) Drain the water tanks (see Draining Instructions).

3) Reinstall the silicon stopper and drain cap (see Draining Instructions).

4) DO NOT ADD BLEACH FIRST OR DIRECTLY TO THE DISPENSER.

Concentrated bleach may damage plastic.

5) Add ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) of ordinary 6.0% maximum household bleach to a 2 quart (2 liter)
pitcher filled with tap water.

6) Pour the solution in the opening at the top of the dispenser.

7) Repeat last two steps until the dispenser is full.

8) Press the hot and cold dispenser buttons until the water just begins to flow from the faucets.

9) Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes.

10) Rinse out the bleach solution.

11) Drain the water tanks into a large bucket (see Draining Instruction).

12) Make sure that silicon stoppers and drain caps are NOT installed.

13) Clean, and then reinstall the collar.

14) Pour approximately 1 gallon (4 quarts or 4 liters) of fresh tap water into the top and allow
draining into the bucket.

15) Flush with an additional 1 gallon (4 quarts or 4 liters) of fresh tap water and allow draining
into the bucket.

16) Reinstall silicon stoppers and drain caps (see Draining Instructions).

17) Install a fresh water bottle (see Preparing and Loading Your Dispenser for Use).

18) Plug in the dispenser. Then turn on the hot and cold power switches (on the back of the
dispenser).

19) Dispense 1 quart (1 liter) of water from each faucet and taste to make sure the bleach solution
is completely removed.

20) If you continue to taste the chlorine from the bleach solution, repeat steps 11 – 20 until the
taste is gone.

To Remove Mineral Deposits:

Mix 2 quarts (2 liters) of water with two quarts of vinegar OR mix 1 gallon of water (4 liters) with 16
ounces (454 g) of citric acid crystals. Bleach does not remove mineral deposits. Do this in place of
step 6 above when removing mineral deposits.
