INSTRUCTIONS

A. INSPECTION

Inspect carton and water cooler for evidence of rough handling and concealed damage. Damage claims should be filed with carrier.

B. TO PUT WATER COOLER INTO SERVICE

  1. Note: The following states require a licensed plumber to install cooler; AR, GA, MA, MI, OK, RI, SC, SD, TX, VT and WI. CA, KS, MN, NM and OR allow for a state-registered installer or contractor as well. State and local plumbing codes may prohibit the use of saddle tapping valves for water line connection in some applications. All connections must conform to applicable plumbing codes.

  2. Locate and install plumbing and electrical service, if required, in accordance with Roughing-in Drawing. Filter units have additional instructions on a label inside access panel. Read these before installing unit. This drinking water cooler is designed to be operated at a water supply line pressure of up to 100 psi (690 kPa). A pressure regulator must be installed in front of unit’s water inlet if water pressure (including any possible pressure spikes) could exceed 100 psi (690 kPa).

  3. FLUSH BUILDING WATER SUPPLY LINE BEFORE INSTALLING UNIT.

  4. Install unit on wall hanger. Wall hanger is shipped fastened to back of unit.

  5. Install a trap in the waste line and a shut off valve in water supply line. Connect “Water Supply” 3/8” OD copper tube to shut off valve. This connection should not be a solder joint. The unit is furnished with an in-line strainer in one of two possible  locations: the 3/8” “Water Supply” copper tube or in the ¼” OD tube “Water Supply” line at the end opposite the 3/8” to ¼” OD quick-connect fitting. To ease removal of the strainer for service, a sheet metal screw may be lightly threaded into the strainer. THIS STRAINER SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED FOR SERVICING, AND IS REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED FOR PROPER UNIT OPERATION. NOTE: ACTIVATION VALVE IS PLUMBED BEFORE COOLING TANK AT FACTORY
    TO AVOID PRESSURIZING COOLING TANK. When unit has an internal waste trap, the trap should be wrapped with insulating tape to prevent sweating. Use of the 1-3/4 diameter knockout for a waste line is not recommended because of a potential  conflict with ADA* toe space clearance requirements. Check your local building code inspector for approval.

  6. Rotate fan blade by hand to see that it is free of obstructions.

  7. Check available power supply against the water cooler data plate to assure correct electrical service. This drinking water cooler is intended to be connected to a 20A minimum ground fault circuit interrupting (GFCI) device to meet UL requirements. Plug power supply cord into wall outlet.
    The rear most 1-3/8 diameter knockout in frame bottom is for an externally located electrical supply. Make sure knockout hole edge is smooth and free of any burrs. Use of a Heyco bushing #2184 in knocked out hole is recommended in order to prevent damage to service cord and to close up excess opening around cord. Route cord so it does not interfere with ADA* space requirements.

  8. To fill cold water tank on water cooler versions, open water supply line shut-off and push front pushbutton to allow water to flow to bubbler. Run water until stream is free of bubbles.

  9. To Adjust Bubbler Stream:
    All vandal resistant models are equipped with a Cartridge Regulator. To access adjustment, remove the Bezel and Button from front of cooler.
    Insert a screwdriver in the slot to adjust regulator. Turn adjustment clockwise to increase stream height.

C. MAINTENANCE

  1. Inspection of condenser should be made at 3-month intervals. To remove dirt and lint from condenser, disconnect power supply cord, then use small stiff non-wire or vacuum cleaner attachment brush. Observance of this procedure will ensure adequate air circulation through condenser so operation is efficient and economical.
  2. Outside of unit can be wiped clean with mild soap and water mixture. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, including any chlorine solutions. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry surfaces.

D. OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The compressor motor, where used, is equipped with an automatic reset protector which will disconnect the motor from the line in case of an overload.

E. LUBRICATION

This unit is equipped with a hermetically sealed compressor and requires no additional lubrication. The fan motor, where used, on this unit seldom needs oiling, but if required, a few drops of SAE 10 oil should be used.

F. TO DISCONTINUE USE OF WATER COOLER

  1. Close water shut-off valve.
  2. Provide container to catch water to be drained.
  3. Disconnect power supply cord then disconnect water supply line at shut off valve. Route water supply line to container and actuate pushbutton. If this drains too slowly for you, prepare 3/8” ID tube or 3/8” OD tube with quick-connect fitting and remove screw plug in tank drain. Slide tube over drain and route to container. Replace screw plug when draining is complete. Do not over-tighten. O-ring only needs to be snug to seal.
  4. ALWAYS DRAIN ALL WATER WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED AND BEFORE SHIPPING WATER COOLER.
