2. Safety Information

• Always ensure the dispenser is placed on a stable, level surface.
• Keep the dispenser away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the unit.
• The hot water spigot features a child safety lock. To dispense hot water, you must engage the safety mechanism before pressing the lever.
• Do not plug in the unit until a water bottle is properly installed and water has filled the internal tanks.
• Unplug the dispenser before cleaning or performing any maintenance.

3. Setup and Installation

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dispenser from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Placement: Position the dispenser on a flat, sturdy surface near a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation.
3. Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the exterior of the dispenser with a soft, damp cloth. Clean the removable drip tray.
4. Water Bottle Installation:
   • Remove the protective seal from a standard 5-gallon water bottle.
   • Carefully invert the water bottle and place it firmly onto the bottle support collar at the top of the dispenser. Ensure the bottle is seated correctly and the probe pierces the bottle cap.
   • Wait a few minutes for the internal tanks to fill with water. You may hear bubbling sounds as the tanks fill.
5. Power Connection: Once the water tanks are filled (bubbling stops), plug the power cord into a grounded 110-120 volt electrical outlet.
6. Activate Heating/Cooling: Locate the power switches for hot and cold water on the back of the unit. Flip them to the 'ON' position to activate the heating and cooling functions. Allow approximately 15-30 minutes for the water to reach optimal temperatures.

4. Operating Instructions

• Cold Water Dispensing: Place your cup under the blue spigot. Push the blue lever to dispense chilled water.
• Hot Water Dispensing: Place your cup under the red spigot. Engage the child safety lock (usually by sliding a button or pressing a tab) and then push the red lever to dispense hot water. Exercise caution as the water is very hot (approximately 185°F).
• Adjustable Cold Water Thermostat: The cold water temperature can be adjusted between 35.6°F and 53.6°F using the thermostat control located on the back of the unit.

5. Features

• Stainless Steel Tanks: Both hot and cold water tanks are constructed of hygienic stainless steel, designed for contaminant resistance and health protection.
• Temperature Adjustment: Cold water temperature is adjustable (35.6°F-53.6°F). Hot water temperature is automatically controlled to approximately 185°F (non-adjustable).
• Energy Star Rated: Meets strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and U.S. Department of Energy.
• Efficient Heating and Cooling: Features an ultra-efficient condenser cooled via convection, operating quietly.
• Durable Faucets: Equipped with durable polypropylene, self-closing spigots.
• Removable Drip Tray: One-piece ABS drip tray is removable for easy cleaning.
• Safety Float Mechanism: Double float valve with secondary safety float mechanism helps reduce water loss from spilling.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

• Exterior Cleaning: Regularly wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Drip Tray Cleaning: The removable drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly (e.g., weekly or bi-weekly, depending on usage) to prevent water overflow and maintain hygiene. Simply pull it out, empty, wash with mild soap and water, rinse, and snap back into place.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate, especially in the hot water tank, potentially slowing water flow. The manufacturer recommends descaling the unit periodically. Refer to general descaling instructions for water dispensers or coffee makers, using appropriate descaling solutions. Always unplug the unit and drain all water before descaling.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Hot/Cold Water:
  • Check if the hot/cold power switches on the back of the unit are in the 'ON' position.
  • Ensure the unit is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the water bottle is not empty and is properly seated.
  • Allow sufficient time (15-30 minutes) for the water to heat or cool after initial setup or bottle change.
• Slow Water Flow:
  • Ensure the water bottle is not empty.
  • Mineral buildup can restrict water flow, especially for hot water. Refer to the descaling instructions in the Maintenance section.
• Water Leakage:
  • Check if the water bottle is properly seated on the dispenser.
  • Inspect the water bottle for cracks or damage.
  • Ensure the drip tray is correctly installed and not overflowing.
