Oasis POU1CTHS(Y) Installation Manual

OASIS® COUNTER TOP POINT OF USE WATER COOLER

POU1CTK(Y), POU1CTHS(Y) INSTRUCTIONS

A. INSPECTION

Inspect the carton and water cooler for evidence of rough handling and concealed damage. Damage claims should be filed with the carrier. Handholds are

available on the sides of the unit to facilitate removal from the carton.

B. MAINTENANCE

1. Periodically remove dirt and lint from the condenser. Disconnect the power supply cord, then clean the condenser with a small stiff non-wire brush when

required. Observance of this procedure will insure adequate air circulation through the condenser so operation is efficient and economical.

A cone shaped strainer can be found in the tube leading to the mechanical float valve on the liner. It can be removed and flushed clean. Be sure to replace it in the tube once cleaned.

C. OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The compressor motor is equipped with an automatic reset protector which will disconnect the motor from the line in case of an overload.

D. LUBRICATION

This unit is equipped with a hermetically sealed compressor and requires no additional lubrication.

E. TO PUT WATER COOLER INTO SERVICE

WARNING: A pressure regulator, such a s a Slow Flow regulator, must be installed in front of the unit’s water inlet if the water pressure (including

any possible pressure spikes) could exceed 100psig (690kpa).

1. Remove top and three (3) screws holding liner to make sure baffle was not jarred loose dur ing shipping or unpacking.

2. Replace liner and connect a 1/4" O.D. water supply tube to the elbow located at the back of the cooler. Turn on water supply.

3. Replace the top by first hooking in the rear tabs and then by pressing down at the front until it snaps into place. Be sure to route the tubing through the

notch in the top.

4. Check the available power supply against the water cooler data plate to assure correct electrical service. For IEC power inlet models, insert female portion

of approved power cordset into IEC inlet and route cord through strain relief on back of cooler. Plug service cord into receptacle. Make sure the hot tank switch at the front is in the "OFF" position (unlit on 220-240 volt models) if you have a hot and cold model.

5. The cooler is equipped with two float switches. One for filling the unit and the second to act as a safety. The water supply will shut off automatically when

the water level reaches the fill switch. The safety float will activate only if the primary float fails. If the safety float is activated, the unit will shut off the water supply to the reservoir . Press the blue reset button about half way down on the liner until you hear the water flow restart, then contact your service representative. CAUTION: A hard impact or jarring of the unit while it is filling may trip the safety float.

6. If you have a hot and cold model, run water out of the hot tank faucet to vent air trapped in the tank. This will make certain the hot water tank contains

water. Place the hot water tank heater switch to the "ON" position. DANGER: WATER DISPENSED FROM HOT FAUCET CAN SCALD.

7. The polymer materials used on parts of the unit can withstand long term temperatures up to 150° F (66°C) before deforming. Do not subject the unit to

greater temperatures by placing it in areas that will exceed a 150° F (66°C) ambient temperature.

8. In operation, an ice ring will form in the area beneath the polymer baffle in the reservoir. This is normal. A cold control has been pre-set at the factory. If

colder water is desired, the control setting may be moved clockwise and for warmer water, counterclockwise in quarter turn adjustments. The control is located on the back and requires a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the shaft.

F. TO DISCONTINUE USE OF WATER COOLER

1. Disconnect power supply cord.

2. On hot and cold model, place the hot water tank heater switch in the "OFF" position.

3. Remove water supply tube from cooler.

4. Provide container to catch water. Drain through faucet(s) and, if a hot and cold model, by removing drain plug on the bottom of the unit.

5. ALWAYS DRAIN ALL WATER WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED OR BEFORE SHIPPING THE WATER COOLER.

G. SANITIZING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Periodically sanitizing of the reservoir may be required. To gain access to the reservoir, first remove the top by pulling up on the two tabs at the rear. The

exposed inner liner is sealed to the reservoir with three screws. Remove the screws and lift the liner off of the reservoir.

2. A solution can be made by adding 1/2 teaspoonful of household bleach to one (1) gallon of water or 2 ml of household bleach to 3 L of water. DO NOT use

a stronger sanitizing solution. Wash the cooling tank and baffle in the solution. Rinse immediately. DO NOT allow sanitizing solution to remain in the reservoir more than 5 minutes. On hot models, DO NOT allow sanitizing solution to enter hot tank; plug inlet to hot tank using a tapered cork with ½” (13mm) mean diameter. Dispense solution through cold faucet and cook faucet, if so equipped. Rinse through faucet(s) with clean water. Remove plug from hot tank water inlet. Rinse hot tank thoroughly through hot faucet and through hot tank drain.

3. The micron filter located on the inner liner may also be replaced.

4. Replace inner liner on top of reservoir and seal with screws. Replace the top by first hooking in the rear tabs and then by pressing down at the front until it

snaps into place.

H. CLEANING

In order to preserve the surface finish, do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solutions over 150° F (66°C). It is recommended that a non-caustic, mild liquid

detergent and warm water be used. Do not use solvents.

I. SERVICE

This unit should be serviced only by qualified service personnel.
