Installation

1. Determine Installation Location

IMPORTANT: If the dispenser has been resting on its side for a long period of time, place it in the upright position for approximately 12 hours before installing.

A. Locate the dispenser on a hard and level surface in a cool shaded location near a grounded wall outlet.

B. Position the back of the dispenser no closer than 8 in. (20 cm) from wall to permit free airflow between the wall and water dispenser.

2. Install the Drip Tray and Grid

A. Unwrap drip tray and grid (6) from the packaging material and slide it onto the dispenser until it is securely in place.

3. Connect a Water Bottle

IMPORTANT: To prevent dry heating, DO NOT turn on the heating and cooling switches until you complete the steps in this procedure.

NOTE: The dispenser is compatible with 5-gallon water bottles only.

A. Remove the plastic wrapping and cap from a new 5-gallon bottle of water (purchased separately).

B. Open the cabinet door and feed the bottle adapter tube (10) into the water bottle. Ensure the tube hits the bottom of the bottle.

C. Fit the bottle cap (9) over the neck of the water bottle and press securely into place.

D. Slide the water bottle into the dispenser cabinet and close the door. Plug in dispenser.

NOTE: Water will not pump from bottle unless door is completely closed.

E. Wait 5 minutes for tanks to fill. Place a container under the dispense point. Press hot and cold water buttons until water dispenses steadily and without air. We advise dispensing and disposing of at least 1 quart of water.

Operation

IMPORTANT: This unit has been tested and sanitized prior to packing and shipping. During transit, dust and odors can accumulate in the tank and lines. Dispense and dispose at least one quart of water prior to drinking any water.

Turn on Heating and Cooling Switches

IMPORTANT: Before you activate the heating and cooling switches, ensure a full bottle of water is installed and tanks have been filled.

1. To power on the cooling system, flip the cooling switch to the On position. It takes approximately 1 hour after turning on the cooling switch for the cold water to reach its coldest temperature. During the cooling process, the cold water indicator light will remain illuminated. Once the cold water has reached its coldest temperature, the cold water indicator light will turn off.

2. To power on the heating system, flip the heating switch to the On position. It takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes after turning on the heating switch for hot water to reach its hottest temperature. During the heating process, the hot water indicator light will remain illuminated. Once the hot water has reached its hottest temperature, the hot water indicator light will turn off.

Dispense Cold Water

1. Place a drinking glass or container under the tap and press cold water button to dispense cold water.

2. Release when your container is full.

Adjust the Cold Water Thermostat

The cold water reservoir temperature is monitored by a cold water thermostat (16) located at the rear of the dispenser. Using a screwdriver, turn the set screw clockwise between the lower setting for warmer water and higher setting for colder water until the desired temperature is reached. If water is not being properly dispensed, there could be possible ice build-up in the reservoir due to the thermostat being set too cold. If this happens, slowly rotate the thermostat set screw counterclockwise to a warmer setting.

Disable Child Safety Lock and Dispense Hot Water

CAUTION: This unit dispenses water at temperatures that can cause severe burns. Avoid direct contact with hot water. Keep children and pets away from the unit while dispensing. Never allow children to dispense hot water without proper and direct supervision. Disable the heating feature by switching the heating switch to the Off position.

1. This water dispenser is equipped with a child safety feature in order to prevent inadvertent dispensing. To enable dispensing of hot water, place a cup or container under the tap. Simultaneously press in the red lock button on the front of the hot water button while pressing the hot water button down.

2. Release the red lock button and hot water button once your container is full. Hot water will automatically relock.

Change the Water Bottle

CAUTION: Do not dispense water if the red change-bottle indicator light is flashing as you could empty the tanks and cause the dispenser to overheat.

When the change-bottle indicator light on the front of the dispenser flashes red, it is time to replace your empty water bottle with a new water bottle:

1. Open the dispenser cabinet door and slide the empty bottle out of the cabinet.

2. Remove the bottle adapter from the empty bottle and let the probe drip into the bottle. Once dripping has stopped, place the bottle adapter on the hanger and set the empty bottle aside.

3. Follow the steps in Connect a Water Bottle to install your new water bottle.

4. Recycle the empty bottle at your local exchange center to receive your next bottle at a discount.
