4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper setup of your water dispenser:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dispenser from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for future transport or service.
2. Placement: Position the dispenser on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm of space from walls for proper ventilation. Avoid placing it near heat sources, direct sunlight, or in areas with high humidity.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Clean the drip tray.

   • Open the bottom compartment door.
   • Remove the cap from a new 5-gallon (or compatible size) water bottle.
