Installation & Operation

Operation

1. Tear the label from the bottle.
2. Vertically insert the bottle into the bottle supporter on top of the machine. Don’t plug the power cord or push the heating switch until water runs out from the hot water faucet.
3. Insert the plug to socket, then turn on the switch. Indicators light up accordingly once the machine turns on.
4. Vertically pull out the bottle with two hands when the bottle is empty and then replace it with another bottle of water.
5. The thermostat is factory-set. No need to adjust it by yourself.
6. In case hot (or cold) water is not needed for a long time, turn off the switch accordingly to save power.

Precautions

1. Keep the machine in a dry place and avoid direct sunshine. The back of the machine should be at least 20cm away from the wall. Never put the machine on paper or foam, which may store water that can cause creepage. Never put anything flammable near or besides this machine.
2. Attention: Do not switch on the power supply cord until water runs out from the tap, otherwise some parts can be damaged.
3. This machine must be connected with earthed socket and reliable creepage protection switch.
4. Never use organic liquid as gas to clean the machine. Strictly prohibit using water to wash it.
5. Never turn the machine upside down or lean it to more than 45° angle when moving/handling.
6. Never turn on (off) the machine by plugging (unplugging) the machine. To avoid electrical fire accidents, never increase the length of the power supply cord.
7. This machine should not be turned on until after 3 minutes of turning off the power switch.
8. The thermostat has been factory-set. Do not adjust it by yourself as it can affect the performance of this machine.
9. In case the machine will not be in use for a long time, please pull the plug out from the socket and drain the water in the tank.
10. In case hot (or cold) water is not needed for a long time, turn off the switch accordingly, to save energy.
11. If you are using the refrigerator cupboard for the first time, don’t put anything into the cupboard for an hour. Hot food should be cooled to room temperature before it is placed in the cupboard. Enough space should be left for cool air to circulate.
12. The dispenser is suitable for bottled water only. Use mineral-free water to avoid damage to the heating system.

Operational DOs & DON’Ts

DOs: ( )

• Clean the dirt accumulated over the static condenser every fortnight.
• Choose a bottle with the right type of cap, based on the type of piercing device. Align the bottle cap with the piercing device for smooth piercing.
• Choose the right temperature to avoid overcooling.
• Switch on the machine only after water ows from all the faucets.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced only with a similar new one, sourced from a local dealer.
• The electricity outlet into which the unit is to be plugged, must have proper and reliable grounding.
• The machine should work under ambient temperature from 15°C to 35°C, relative humidity not higher than 90%.

DON’Ts: ( )

• Don’t keep the unit exposed to direct sunlight.
• Don’t position the unit near expensive furniture or electrical appliances, as water spills can cause serious problems.
• Don’t modify the power plug and don’t use an extension cord. It may lead to overheating and electrical fires.
• Don’t unplug or plug in the power cord to switch the unit off or on.
• Don’t switch on the unit immediately after switching it off; a gap of 3 minutes is required.
• Avoid keeping the unit in excessively heated areas.
• Don’t change the cooling thermostat setting frequently. Please allow the unit to run for 20 minutes between consecutive settings.
• Don’t use bottles filled with hot water and unhealthy hard water.
• Don’t use scouring powder, harsh soap, wax or polish on plastic parts.
• Don’t clean any component, especially plastic parts, with any petroleum products.
• Don’t use a metal scrubber to clean the tank.
• Don’t tilt the unit to more than 45° angle while carrying it.
• Do not pull the faucet, it is push type only.

Maintenance

Completely automatic, the unit requires minimum attention and maintenance. For satisfactory performance, periodical checking and cleaning are necessary.

Cooling Tank
It is essential to drain out water from the cooling tank and flush it once every one or two months. Failure to do this periodically may result in brown stains on the tank which will be difficult to remove at a later stage.

The most convenient time to clean your dispenser is when a bottle is empty. Before you start cleaning the reservoir of your Water Dispenser, it is suggested to have the following items handy:

• Clean rubber gloves, paper towels, or other clean, dry cloth or towels.
• Clean dish-type scrub brush with a long handle to help you to reach the bottom of the reservoir.
• Plastic scrubbing pad. Never use steel wool or other abrasives on your reservoir.
• Measuring spoon, one teaspoon volume: One normal teaspoon to take out mild detergent for cleaning.
• Calibrated container e.g., a bucket: Any container with litre volume measurement marks.
• Non-chloride-based mild cleaning agent/disinfectant. Never use metal scrubbers, scouring powder, harsh soaps, wax or polish on the plastic parts.

Now take the following steps to clean the tank:

• Step One: Unplug the cord. If there is an empty bottle on top of the dispenser, carefully lift off the bottle and store it away. However, if there is water in the bottle, make sure you cap the bottle or cover the bottle top to keep dirt or debris from falling into the bottle.
• Step Two: Once you have removed the bottle, check to see whether there is a removable baffle. If there is one, remove it. Check for a plastic top and remove it.
• Step Three: At this point, you should be able to see inside the reservoir. If there is water remaining in the reservoir, drain it out. If you like, you can save the water for future use.
• Step Four: Prepare a cleaning solution in the calibrated container with a concentration of one teaspoon of mild detergent per liter. The minimum volume prepared should be 3 to 4 liters; some dispenser reservoirs may require a larger volume.
• Step Five: Fill the reservoir with the prepared solution.
• Step Six: Wearing clean rubber gloves, use the scrub brush to clean the inside of the reservoir with the cleaning solution. Wet the same brush again, scrub the baffle and place it upside down in the reservoir, and clean the faucet(s), body, handles, and outlets.
• Step Seven: Let the cleaning solution stand in the reservoir for five minutes.
• Step Eight: Rinse and dry the baffle, drain all the cleaning solution from the dispenser through the faucet(s), and replace the baffle in the reservoir. Using clear and clean water, rinse the reservoir thoroughly, draining water through the faucet(s) several times until there is no evidence of chlorine taste and/or odour. Close it with the plastic top. Plug the dispenser back and allow at least twenty minutes for the water to reach the appropriate temperature.

Now you can dry the outlet of the dispenser, and place a clean, full bottle on top. If you have followed these steps, you’ll have a clean dispenser. Do not use bleach for units with hot water tanks. Use the hot water cleaning procedure only. The suggested frequency for cleaning your dispenser is every change of a bottle or every six weeks.

Static Condenser

• The efficiency of the Water Dispenser is drastically affected if the condenser is clogged with lint or dust.
• To maintain free circulation of air over the condenser, it should be cleaned every fortnight with a small brush.

Long period shutdowns
If the Water Dispenser is to be kept out of service for over a week, or a longer period, shut off the water supply, empty the tank, and remove the bottle from the top. Also, disconnect the plug from the electrical socket.
