Setup and Installation

The Avalon A12BLK water dispenser is designed for easy connection to your existing cold water line, typically under your sink or behind your refrigerator. All necessary parts for installation are included. The adapter to connect the water cooler tubing to an existing line is 3/8", which fits most standard water supply lines.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

For a visual guide on the installation process, please refer to the official installation animation video below:

1. Prepare the Water Supply: Locate your cold water supply line (usually under the sink or behind the refrigerator). Turn off the cold water valve.
2. Install the Adapter: Connect the included metal adapter with valve between your cold water supply line and the existing cold water valve. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
3. Flush Filters: Before installing the filters into the unit, flush both the Sediment Filter and Carbon Block Filter. Connect each filter individually to the provided filter flushing adapter and allow water to flow through for approximately 2 minutes. This removes any carbon fines.
4. Install Filters into Unit: Attach the two black mounting brackets to the back of the cooler. Slide the two filter adapters into the mounting brackets. Twist the flushed Sediment Filter into the left adapter and the flushed Carbon Block Filter into the right adapter.
5. Connect Tubing: Connect the PE tubing from your water source to the left filter adapter. Connect the smallest PE tubing to the inner inlets of both filters. Connect the remaining small PE tubing from the right filter adapter to the water inlet located on the back of the unit.
6. Restore Water Supply: Turn on the cold water supply valve. Check for any leaks.
7. Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. Allow the internal tanks to fill with water for about 10-15 minutes.

Built-in Nightlight

A built-in nightlight makes the water spouts clearly visible in the dark. It also includes a 'replace bottle' indicator that lights up when the bottle needs to be replaced (though this is a bottleless unit, this indicator may refer to filter replacement or a general water flow issue).

Maintenance

Filter Replacement

The Avalon A12BLK uses a dual filtration system consisting of a Sediment filter (Avalon A5FILTER) and a Carbon Block filter (Avalon A4FILTER). These filters are designed to last approximately 6 months or 1500 gallons, whichever comes first. Regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining water quality and dispenser performance.

• Replacement Schedule: Replace filters every 6 months or after 1500 gallons of use.
• Procedure: Refer to the installation video or your product manual for detailed steps on how to safely remove and replace the filters. Always turn off the water supply and unplug the unit before replacing filters.

General Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain the hygiene and appearance of your water dispenser.

• Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Drip Tray: The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent overflow and bacterial growth.
• Self-Cleaning Function: Utilize the self-clean ozone function periodically to sanitize the internal water tanks.
