Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the dispenser from its packaging. Retain packaging for future transport if needed.
- Placement: Place the dispenser on a hard, level surface at least 4 inches away from a wall to allow for proper ventilation. Ensure it is not in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the drip tray and wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth.
- Water Bottle Installation:
- Open the lower cabinet door.
- Insert the probe assembly into a fresh 3 or 5-gallon water bottle. Ensure the probe is fully inserted and the cap is secure.
- Slide the water bottle into the lower cabinet.
- Close the cabinet door.
- Priming: Before plugging in, dispense water from the cold and hot spouts until water flows steadily. This removes air from the lines.
- Power Connection: Plug the dispenser into a grounded 110-120V AC outlet.

- Hot Water Dispensing: To dispense hot water, press the safety button (if applicable) and then press the hot water lever/button. Use caution as water is hot.
- Cold Water Dispensing: Press the cold water lever/button to dispense chilled water.
- Room Temperature Water Dispensing: Press the room temperature water lever/button to dispense water at ambient temperature.
- Bottle Empty Indicator: The dispenser will have an indicator light to signal when the water bottle is empty and needs replacement.
Maintenance
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Drip Tray Cleaning: The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent overflow and bacterial growth. Remove the tray, empty water, wash with mild soap and water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before replacing.
- Condenser Coil Cleaning: Periodically clean the condenser coils at the back of the dispenser with a vacuum cleaner or brush to ensure efficient operation. Ensure the unit is unplugged.
- Internal Cleaning/Sanitizing: Refer to the full user manual for detailed instructions on sanitizing the internal water tanks and lines. This typically involves using a food-grade sanitizing solution.
