Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient operation, installation, and maintenance of your Brio Moderna Self-Cleaning Bottom Load Water Cooler. Please read this manual thoroughly before use and retain it for future reference.

Important Safety Information

• Always unplug the dispenser before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
• Do not operate the dispenser without water in the bottle.
• Ensure the dispenser is placed on a level surface.
• Keep the dispenser away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• The hot water dispenser features a child safety lock. Always engage this lock when not in use, especially in households with children.
• Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in to allow compressor oils to settle.

Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking and Placement

• Carefully remove the water cooler from its packaging.
• Place the dispenser on a firm, level surface in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
• Allow the unit to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it into an electrical outlet. This allows the compressor oil to settle, preventing potential damage.

1. Open the lower cabinet door of the dispenser.
2. Remove the cap from a new water bottle.
3. Insert the probe assembly into the bottle opening. Ensure the probe is fully inserted and the tube extends to the bottom of the bottle.
