- Connecting to Cooler: Connect the flexible hose from the accessory tank's pump outlet to the water inlet of your compatible cooler. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
- Filling the Tank: Open the tank lid and fill the tank with clean water. Do not overfill; leave some space at the top to prevent spills.

- Refilling: When the low water alarm sounds, switch the power OFF, open the tank lid, and refill with clean water. Close the lid securely and switch the power ON again.
- Portability: Use the heavy-duty handle and wheels to easily move the tank when empty or partially filled. Avoid moving when completely full to prevent spills and strain.
