Instruction

1. Unpacking the water dispenser
   • Cut and remove the straps from the box. DO NOT turn the box upside down, or lay it on its side. The bottom of the box is separate from the top section. Lift straight up on the top box section to remove the top box section. Remove the Styrofoam packaging and plastic bag. Lift the water dispenser off the bottom of the bottom of the box. Wipe it clean if necessary.
   • Place the machine on a hard, flat surface. Make certain the unit is leveled. The unit should not be placed near direct sunlight or other source of heat.
   • It is best to place the water dispenser in an area with good air circulation. Make sure there is at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between the back of your water dispenser and the wall. Keep a minimum distance of 2 inches (5cm) on each side of your water dispenser. Warning: the drain plug on the back of the unit may become loose during shipping. Fasten the drain plug tightly before you start to operate the unit. If the drain plug is loose, the unit may leak and cause floor damage.
2. Settling water bottle
   • Make sure the water dispenser is not plugged into an electrical outlet.
   • Open the door of the lower cabinet.
   • Place the full water bottle on the floor. Remove the plastic cover over the mouth of the water bottle.
   • Place the stainless tube inside the bottle and place the water bottle cap firmly over the mouth of the water bottle.
   • Attach the hose to the top of the cap using the quick connect system shown below*.
   • Slide the bottle inside the cabinet and close the lower cabinet door.
   • Your new water dispenser features an adjustable quick-connect system. For proper operation, make sure the connector is sealed tight (Fig. 1);
   • The connector can be removed easily for cleaning with warm soapy water (Fig. 2);
   • The stainless steel tube can be adjusted up and down to accommodate both 3-gallon and 5-gallon water bottles (Fig. 3).
   • Note: If there is not a secure connection between the hose cap and the connector on the water dispenser, the water pump will operate but the water dispenser will not dispense water. Make sure the hose is connected to the water dispenser correctly.
3. Dispense water
   • Plug the water dispenser into a grounded power outlet. The unit will pump the water from the water bottle into the cooling and heating tanks.
   • Press the hot water button until the water flows out.
   • Turn on the power switch on the back of the unit to heat or cool the water. The indicator light will be on when heating or cooling is working. To get optimal temperature, do not turn off the power switch until heating or cooling is done.
   • Enjoy the hot or cold water you need.
   • If you do not need hot or cold water, turn off the power switch to conserve energy.

Note:
Please wait until the water pump stops running before using the unit. If the water tank is not full, no water will dispense from the water faucet.

Filter

1. The function of the filter
   The filter is made of carbon block, which can remove particles such as micro- plastics, as well as improve the taste and texture of water.

2. Flushing the filter for first-time usage

   • Unplug the filter drain at the back of the dispenser, and connect the filter drain with the PE pipe provided. Put the other end of the PE pipe in a container or a bucket that can hold at least 5L water.
   • Plug the water dispenser into a grounded power outlet. Insert the stainless steel pipe into the bottle, and slide the bottle in. Close the cabinet door. Water that is used to flush the filter will flow into the container automatically from the filter drain. Flush the filter for 3 minutes.
   • Once it’s done, open the cabinet door, remove the PE pipe from the filter drain, and plug the filter drain.
   • Close the cabinet door. Now the filter is ready to use.

3. Replacing the filter and resetting the filter lifetime indicator

   • Open the cabinet door and remove the stainless steel pipe from the bottle. Press the cold water button to empty the water tank inside.
   • Turn the filter counterclockwise to take off the old filter.
   • Screw the new filter clockwise into the filter holder until the dots on the filter and the holder is fully aligned.
   • Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds to reset the filter lifetime indicator. Once successful, the filter lifetime indicator on the panel will switch off.
   • Flush the filter as instructed above.
   • If you reset the lifetime by mistake, continuously short-press the reset button 5 times within 5 minutes, then the filter lifetime indicator will flash 3 times which means you revoke the reset successfully.
