Important Safety Information
- Always ensure the unit is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
- Before plugging in the unit, ensure a water bottle is properly installed and water has filled the internal tanks. Operating the hot tank without water can cause damage.
- Caution: Hot Water. The hot water dispenser provides water at high temperatures. Exercise extreme care when dispensing hot water to avoid burns. The hot water faucet is designed with a child-proof safety feature requiring a push-in and pull action to dispense.
- Keep children away from the hot water dispenser.
- Do not use the appliance outdoors.
- Unplug the cooler before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
Setup Guide
- Unpack the Cooler: Carefully remove the water cooler from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Placement: Position the cooler on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation. The cooler includes a handle on the back for easier transport and positioning.
- Install Water Bottle:
- Remove the protective seal from the top of a new 3 or 5-gallon water bottle. Do not remove the cap if it has a WaterGuard compatible cap (which will be pierced by the probe).
- Lift the water bottle and carefully place it onto the WaterGuard probe at the top of the cooler. Push down firmly until the bottle is seated securely. The WaterGuard system is designed to prevent spills during this process.
- Allow several minutes for the water to fill the internal hot and cold tanks before plugging in the unit. This is crucial to prevent damage to the heating element.
- Connect Power: Once the water tanks are filled, plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Activate Heating/Cooling: Locate the hot and cold water switches (usually on the back of the unit). Turn them ON to begin heating and cooling the water. Allow approximately 15-30 minutes for the water to reach optimal temperatures.
Operating Instructions

Dispensing Cold Water:
Place your cup or container under the cold water faucet (typically blue). Press the cold water button or lever to dispense chilled water. Release the button/lever to stop the flow.
Dispensing Hot Water:
Place your cup or container under the hot water faucet (typically red). This faucet features a child-proof safety mechanism. To dispense hot water, first push the safety button inward, then pull the lever towards you. Release both to stop the flow. Always exercise caution as the water is very hot.
Maintenance
- Drip Tray Cleaning: The drip tray is removable and dishwasher safe. Regularly remove and clean the drip tray to prevent water overflow and maintain hygiene. Simply lift the tray out, empty any collected water, wash it with soap and water or place it in the dishwasher, and then reinsert it.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the cooler with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the polyethylene cabinet.
- Sanitization: Periodically sanitize the internal water tanks to prevent mineral buildup and ensure fresh-tasting water. Refer to the full product manual for detailed sanitization instructions, which typically involve a water and bleach solution. Ensure thorough rinsing after sanitization.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water not hot or cold | Power switch for heating/cooling is off; unit not plugged in; internal tanks not filled with water; compressor issue. | Ensure unit is plugged in and power switches are ON. Verify water bottle is properly installed and tanks are full before turning on heating/cooling. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Water tastes "plastic" or off | New unit odor; need for sanitization. | Sanitize the unit with a water/bleach solution as per the full manual. This often resolves initial taste issues. |
| Unit is unstable or "tippy" | Uneven surface; improper placement. | Place the cooler on a firm, level surface. Adjust its position until stable. |
| Slow cold water flow | Air lock; sediment buildup. | Try dispensing water from both hot and cold faucets to release any air. If persistent, consider sanitization or contacting support. |
