Water Bottle Installation
This is a bottom-load dispenser.
- Open the lower cabinet door.
- Place a standard 20-liter (5-gallon) water bottle into the cabinet.
- Insert the water probe into the bottle opening. Ensure it is securely seated.
- Close the cabinet door.
Initial Startup
Before plugging in, ensure the water bottle is installed and water has filled the internal tanks. This prevents dry heating.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (115 Volts).
- Allow the unit to sit for at least 30 minutes before turning on heating or cooling functions to allow refrigerants to settle.
- Turn on the cooling switch (usually located at the back or on the control panel). The cooling compressor will begin to operate. Expect refreshing cold water in 25-30 minutes.
- Turn on the heating switch (usually located at the back or on the control panel). The heating element will begin to operate. Hot water will be ready when the indicator light turns off.
Operating Instructions
Control Panel
The dispenser features a digital control panel and a night LED light for ease of use in low light conditions.

Dispensing Water
To dispense water, place a cup under the desired spout and press the corresponding lever or button.
- Cold Water: Press the cold water lever. The high-power cooling compressor ensures a refreshing temperature quickly.
- Hot Water: For safety, the hot water dispenser may require a safety lock or a specific button press sequence. Refer to the specific controls on your unit. The stainless steel tank shortens heating time.
Energy Saving Tips
- Turn off the hot water switch if hot water is not needed for extended periods.
- Keep the dispenser away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the unit.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Drip Tray
The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent overflow and bacterial growth. Remove the tray, empty it, wash with mild soap and water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before replacing.
Descaling (for Hot Water Tank)
Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate in the hot water tank. Descaling is recommended every 3-6 months depending on water hardness.
- Unplug the dispenser and allow it to cool completely.
- Drain all water from both hot and cold tanks.
- Prepare a descaling solution (e.g., a mixture of white vinegar and water).
- Pour the solution into the hot water tank (usually through the hot water faucet or a dedicated opening).
- Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Drain the solution completely.
- Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water several times to remove any residue.
- Refill with fresh water before resuming operation.
