4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and place the dispenser on a flat, stable surface.
2. Water Line Connection: Connect the pre-assembled 1/4" tubing to your cold water supply line using the provided 3-way plastic 1/4" push connect adapter and the under-sink 3/8" or 1/2" adapter with shut-off valve. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
3. Filter Installation: Install the Sediment (Stage 1) and Carbon Block (Stage 2) filters into their designated compartments. Refer to the detailed illustrations in the included installation guide for specific filter placement.
4. Flush System: Before initial use, flush the system by dispensing several cups of water from each temperature faucet until the water runs clear and free of air bubbles. This removes any carbon fines from the new filters.
5. Power Connection: Plug the dispenser into a grounded electrical outlet.
6. Initial Heating/Cooling: Allow approximately 15-30 minutes for the hot and cold water to reach their optimal temperatures.

5. Operating Instructions

Your Brio water cooler offers three temperature options:

• Cold Water: Press the cold water button/lever to dispense chilled water.
• Room Temperature Water: Press the room temperature water button/lever to dispense water at ambient temperature.
• Hot Water: Press the hot water safety button (if applicable) and then the hot water button/lever to dispense hot water. Always use caution with hot water.

The dispenser's filtration system transforms ordinary tap water into purified drinking water.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and water quality.

6.1. Self-Cleaning Function

The dispenser features a self-cleaning function. Consult your detailed installation guide for specific instructions on how to activate and utilize this feature to maintain hygiene.

6.2. Filter Replacement

The 2-stage filtration system includes a 5-micron pre-carbon and sediment filter. These filters are designed to last approximately 6 months or filter 1500 gallons, whichever comes first. Regular replacement is crucial for maintaining water quality.

3. Twist and remove the old filters.
4. Insert new filters, ensuring they are securely seated.

• No Water Dispensing: Check if the water supply valve is open and if the dispenser is plugged in. Ensure filters are correctly installed.
• Water Not Hot/Cold: Verify that the hot/cold switches (usually located on the back of the unit) are turned on. Allow sufficient time for heating/cooling.
• Leaks: Inspect all water line connections for tightness. Ensure filter caps are securely fastened.
