• Emery cloth
• Copper tube / pipe cutter
• Welding torch
• Towels (water clean-up)

Option C: Connecting to Water Line from Flexible Pipe Plumbing Tools Required
Plastic tube / pipe cutter

Water Line Hook-Up

1. IMPORTANT: Turn off the household cold water supply line.
2. Open the cold water faucet of the water supply line allowing water to purge the system to minimize water leakage cleanup.
3. COPPER PIPE PLUMBING : Using a tube/pipe cutter, cut and remove a section of the cold water line at the desired height. Cut should be made above any manual shut-off valve installed on the water line.
4. Using an emery cloth, clean the ends of the copper pipes and apply a liberal layer of flux to both the inside of the fitting and the outside of the pipe before sliding the two parts together that are being soldered. Follow manufacturer’s installation instructions provided with the 1/2” Male Solder x 1/4” OD Compression Fitting Shut-Off Valve (B).
5. FLEXIBLE PIPE PLUMBING: Using a tube/pipe cutter, cut and remove a section of the cold water line at the desired height. Cut should be made above any manual shut-off valve installed on the water line. Follow manufacturer’s installation instructions provided with the 1/2” x 1/2” x 1/2” Quick-Grip Tee (D) and 1/2” Quick-Grip x 1/4” OD Compression Fitting Shut-Off Valve (E).
6. Close the newly installed Shut-Off Valve (Figure A and Figure B) and slowly re-open the cold water supply line and check for leaks. If leaks are detected, immediately turn off the water supply and repair any leaks. If no leaks are detected, proceed to step 7.
7. Cut the desired length to suit your installation requirements, making sure both ends of the Tubing are cut straight/square (Figure 1 & Figure 2). Remove the Compression Nut and Ferrule from the Valve and install them onto the Tubing (Figure 3). Insert the Tubing into the Valve until it stops (Figure 4). Slide both the Compression Nut and Ferrule toward the Valve and tighten the Compression Nut firmly using a wrench (Figure 5). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
8. The Water Dispenser is equipped with a 1/4” Quick-connect Fitting as inlet port installed at the rear of the unit (Figure 6). Remove sanitation plug from the filling port before installing the water line (Figure 7).
9. Connect the incoming water line into the open side of the inlet port (Figure 6). This port utilizes Quick-Connect Fittings, for which no tools are required. Simply insert the end of the Tubing firmly into the fitting until it comes to a complete stop (approx. 1/4”) (Figure 8).
   WARNING: DO NOT OPEN THE COLD WATER SUPPLY VALVE AT THIS STAGE.
   

POU Filtration System Installation

The filtration bracket has been pre-assembled at the factory. Follow the steps below to install filtration system.

1. Remove sanitation plugs from Inlet and outlet ports (Figure 7).
2. Connect Inlet Tubing into Inlet Push-in Quick Connector of filtration system (Figure 10).
3. Connect Outlet Tubing (blue color) into Outlet Push-in Connector of the filtration system (Figure 10).
4. Hang the system through the eyes of the bracket on two screws. Tighten the screws to secure the system (Figure 10).
5. Press Bottle/POU Switch (at the rear of the water dispenser) to POU mode (Figure 11).

Start-up Instruction

1. Slowly open the Shut-Off valve. Check all connections for leaks prior to opening all water valves fully. If any leaks are detected, immediately turn off the water supply and repair.
2. Wait for the water to fully fill the Cold Water Tank.
3. Press Room Temperature Push Button to let water run until the tank is empty. Dump the water collected.
4. Repeat, Step 2 and 3 for 5 times before using. Your water dispenser is ready for use!
   NOTE: The first tank of water may have dark discoloration (carbon deposits). This condition is normal and will disappear quickly.

Water Leakage Detection System

• This water dispenser is equipped with a low voltage water leakage detection system located inside the base of the filter compartment (Figure 12).
• In the event any water makes contact with the leakage detection system, an audible alarm will sound continuously until the water is removed. Upon activation of the leakage detection system, the water inlet solenoid valve (located internally) is automatically deactivated suspending incoming water activity until the alarm is silenced. To silence the alarm, all accumulated water surrounding the sensors must be removed using a sponge and/or paper towel. The water inlet solenoid valve reactivates automatically once the alarm is silenced.
