5. Operating Instructions
Your SHIOUCY Water Cooler Dispenser offers three temperature options: Hot, Cold, and Normal. Follow these steps to dispense water:
- Power On: Ensure the dispenser is plugged in.
- Activate Cooling/Heating:
- For Cold Water: Locate the small switch on the back of the unit (often green). Turn it ON. The yellow indicator light on the front will illuminate when cooling is active. The cooling function will automatically stop once the water reaches the desired cold temperature (≤8℃) and the light will turn off. It will reactivate when the temperature rises.
- For Hot Water: Locate the power switch on the front panel. Turn it ON. The red indicator light will illuminate when heating is active. The heating function will automatically stop once the water reaches the desired hot temperature (≥95℃) and the light will turn off. It will reactivate when the temperature drops.
