Installation & Setup
Installation
The Oasis P8AC Versacooler II is designed for wall-mounted installation. Ensure that the mounting surface is structurally sound and capable of supporting the unit's weight. Proper plumbing connections for water supply and drainage are required. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional to ensure compliance with local codes and proper functionality.
Initial Setup
After installation and plumbing connections are complete, the unit is ready for operation. The automatic start and stop feature allows for immediate use. No specific electrical setup is required beyond connecting the unit to a power source if cooling functionality is desired, as it dispenses water with or without electricity.
Operating Instructions
