IMPORTANT! INSTALLER PLEASE NOTE.
THE GROUNDING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT SUCH AS TELEPHONE, COMPUTERS, ETC. TO WATER LINES IS A COMMON PROCEDURE. THIS GROUNDING MAY BE IN THE BUILDING OR MAY OCCUR AWAY FROM THE BUILDING. THIS GROUNDING CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL FEEDBACK INTO A FOUNTAIN, CREATING AN ELEC-TROLYSIS WHICH CAUSES A METALLIC TASTE OR AN INCREASE IN THE METAL CONTENT OF THE WATER. THIS CONDITION IS AVOIDABLE BY USING THE PROPER MATERIALS AS INDICATED. ANY DRAIN FITTINGS PROVIDED BY THE INSTALLER SHOULD BE MADE OF PLASTIC TO ELECTRICALLY ISOLATE THE FOUNTAIN FROM THE BUILDING PLUMBING SYSTEM. WE SUGGEST THAT THE BOTTLE FILLING STATION AND WATER COOLER BE PROTECTED BY A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI).

INSTALLER
EZS8WS Bottle Fillers are among the easiest to install on the market today. To insure you install these models easily and correctly, PLEASE READ THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION. CHECK YOUR INSTALLATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, AND OTHER APPLICABLE CODES. After installation, leave these instructions with the Fountain for future reference.

Also See General Instructions
Stream height is factory set at 35 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, adjust screw located on the left side below push bar ass’y. on crossbar. CW adjustment will raise stream and CCW adjustment will lower stream. For best adjustment, stream should hit basin approximately 6-1/2” (165mm) from bubbler on the downward slope of the basin.
NOTE : If continuous flow occurs at the end of the compressor cycle, turn cold control (Item 37) counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
Replace the front panel ensuring that the metal wrapper is secured inside of the upper shroud. Replace all four screws previously removed.

CLEANING

Warm, soapy water or mild household cleaning products can be used to clean the exterior panels of the EZ coolers.
Extra caution should be used to clean the mirror finished stainless steel panels.
They can be easily scratched and should only be cleaned with mild soap and water or Windex glass cleaner and a clean, soft cloth. Use of harsh chemicals or petroleum based or abrasive cleaners will void the warranty.

Service Instructions

Lower and Upper Shroud
To access the refrigeration system and plumbing connections, remove four screws from bottom of cooler to remove the lower shroud. To remove the upper shroud for access to the pushbars, regulator, solenoid valve or other components located in the top of the unit, remove lower shroud, disconnect drain, remove four screws from tabs along lower edge of upper shroud, unplug two wires and water tube.
