Preparation

General Information

1. This water cooler is designed for indoor use only and should not be installed outdoors or in a humid environment.
   NOTICE A water supply pressure below 20 psi will result in decreased water flow through the unit and damage to the product. A pressure above 105 psi will also cause damage to the product.

2. Make sure the water supply pressure to the product is between 20 and 105 psi. The LZ filtered units require 40 psi minimum water pressure.

3. Use care when opening and removing the packaging to prevent damage to the product.
   a. Inspect the product for any shipping damage and report it immediately to the location of purchase. Installation of a damaged product will void the warranty.
   b. Confirm that all parts have been included for the proper installation of this product. Contact the location of purchase if damaged parts are found.
   NOTICE Make sure no electrical wiring, potable water inlet pipes, or drain water outlet pipes will be damaged during installation of the product. Damage to any of these items can cause electrical damage, fire, and/or water damage.

4. Shut off the water supply source and disconnect power to the electrical outlet being used to operate the product before starting installation.
   NOTICE Mounting hardware to be supplied by customer.

Water, Waste, and Electrical Locations

This section contains general information for the required utilities for the cooler. Use the Location Drawing in each section to determine the exact location of the utilities.

1. Install water supply in accordance with local plumbing codes.
   a. Use at least 3/8” O.D. unplated copper tube for supply line.
   b. Pipe should extend 3” (76mm) maximum from wall.
   c. Install a quarter-turn, installer supplied, shut-off valve.
   NOTICE Connect shut-off valve to water inlet. Do not use a piercing-type saddle valve for supply water which will reduces Vwater flow and clogs easier.
   Note: This water cooler has been designed and built to provide water to the user which has not been altered by materials in the cooler waterways.
   The grounding of electrical equipment such as telephones, computers, etc. to water lines is a common procedure. The grounding may be in the building but may also occur away from the building.
   This grounding can cause electrical feedback into a water cooler creating an electrolysis, which creates a metallic taste of causes an increase in the metal content of the water.
   NOTICE Water cooler must be connected to the water supply using a dielectric coupling. The cooler is furnished with a non-metallic strainer which meets this requirement. The drain trap which is provided by the installer should also be plastic to completely isolate the cooler from the building plumbing system.

2. Install a waste water drain.
   a. Waste outlet must be minimum 1-1/4” O.D. for single units.
   b. Pipe should extend 2” (50mm) from wall

3. Install a grounded, three-prong electrical outlet on a dedicated circuit.
   a. 115 Volt, 60 Hz AC.
   b. Install a dedicated 20A fused circuit.
   c. Ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) may be required. For optimal performance a 20 amp hospital grade GFCI protection device is suggested

To prevent electrical shock, fire, or electrocution, install a grounded three- prong outlet. Do not modify supplied power cord. Do not use an adapter or extension cord.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To ensure proper electrical safety, the electrical supply circuit should have GFCI protection and AFCI protection, as required by federal and local electrical safety codes and standards.
