Safety Information

• Child Safety Lock: The hot water spout is equipped with a child safety lock to prevent accidental burns. Always engage this lock when not in use, especially in households with children.
• Electrical Safety: Ensure the appliance is plugged into a grounded outlet. Do not use extension cords.
• Placement: Place the water cooler on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Allow adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation.
• Water Quality: Use only potable water from sealed 3 or 5 gallon bottles.

Setup

1. Unboxing and Placement: Carefully remove the water cooler from its packaging. Place the unit upright on a level, sturdy floor surface. Ensure there is at least 4 inches of clearance from walls to allow for proper ventilation.
2. Water Bottle Installation: Open the lower cabinet door. Insert a fresh 3 or 5 gallon water bottle into the cabinet. The water is pumped from the bottle through the machine, eliminating the need for heavy lifting.

5. Flush System: Before first use, dispense and discard at least two cups of water from both the hot and cold spouts to flush the system.
