3. Setup Instructions

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the water cooler from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage. If damage is found, do not operate the unit and contact your retailer.

3.2 Placement

Place the water cooler on a hard, level surface capable of supporting its weight when a full water bottle is installed. Ensure there is at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance from the back and sides of the unit to allow for proper ventilation.

3.3 Initial Cleaning

Before first use, clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. The removable drip tray should be washed with mild soap and water.

3.4 Installing the Water Bottle

Remove the protective seal from the top of a standard 3 or 5-gallon water bottle. Lift the bottle and carefully place it onto the bottle support on top of the cooler. The probe will push into the bottle, allowing water to flow into the internal reservoirs. A double float valve with a secondary safety float mechanism helps prevent spills.

3.5 Flushing the System

Before plugging in the unit, dispense at least 1 liter of water from both the hot and cold spigots to ensure the reservoirs are filled and to flush any air from the lines. This prevents dry heating of the hot tank.

3.6 Power Connection

Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The unit will begin cooling and heating the water. Allow approximately 15-30 minutes for the water to reach optimal temperatures.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Dispensing Cold Water

Place your cup or container under the blue (cold) spigot. Push the blue lever down or lift it up to dispense cold water. Release the lever to stop the flow.

4.2 Dispensing Hot Water

CAUTION: Hot water is approximately 185°F (85°C) and can cause burns.

The hot water spigot (red lever) features a child-safety mechanism. To dispense hot water, first push the safety button inward, then push the red lever down or lift it up. Release both to stop the flow.

4.3 Adjusting Cold Water Temperature

The cold water temperature can be adjusted using the thermostat located on the back of the unit. Use a flathead screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw. Turning clockwise will make the water colder (down to 35.6°F / 2°C), while turning counter-clockwise will make it warmer (up to 53.6°F / 12°C).

5. Maintenance

5.1 Drip Tray Cleaning

The one-piece ABS drip tray is removable for easy cleaning. Periodically remove the tray, empty any collected water, and wash it with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and replace.

5.2 Exterior Cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the UV-protected polyethylene surface.

5.3 Internal Cleaning / Descaling

For optimal performance and hygiene, it is recommended to clean and descale the internal water tanks every 3-6 months. Unplug the unit and remove the water bottle. Drain all water from the hot and cold tanks using the drain plugs located at the back of the unit. Follow manufacturer guidelines for descaling solutions or use a mixture of water and food-grade citric acid. Rinse thoroughly multiple times before re-installing a new water bottle and plugging in the unit.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Water Dispensing: Ensure the water bottle is properly seated and not empty. Check if the unit is plugged in.
• No Hot Water: Verify the hot water switch (usually on the back) is turned ON. Allow sufficient time for heating.
• No Cold Water: Verify the cold water switch (usually on the back) is turned ON. Allow sufficient time for cooling. Check the cold water thermostat setting.
• Leaking: Check the water bottle for cracks or damage. Ensure the bottle is correctly installed. Inspect the drain plugs at the back for tightness.
• Unusual Noise: Some operational noise from the compressor or heating element is normal. Excessive or unusual noise may indicate an issue; ensure the unit is on a level surface and has adequate ventilation.
