4. Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dispenser from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or service if needed.
2. Placement: Position the freestanding water dispenser on a flat, stable, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 10-15 cm of space from walls to allow for proper ventilation. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat-emitting appliances.
3. Water Bottle Installation: Remove the protective seal from a new 20-liter water bottle. Carefully lift the bottle and invert it, placing it firmly onto the piercing probe on top of the dispenser. Ensure the bottle is seated securely and water begins to flow into the dispenser's internal tanks.
4. Initial Flushing: Before plugging in the unit, dispense at least 2-3 cups of water from each of the normal, cold, and hot taps to ensure the tanks are filled and to flush out any air.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
6. Power On: Locate the power switches at the back of the unit. Turn on the switches for both heating and cooling functions. Indicator lights on the front panel will illuminate, signaling that the unit is operating.

Allow approximately 15-30 minutes for the water to reach optimal hot and cold temperatures before first use.

5. Operating Instructions

The USHA Laguna Fresh dispenser offers three temperature options:

• Cold Water: Press the blue tap lever to dispense cold water.
• Normal Water: Press the grey tap lever to dispense normal (room temperature) water.
• Hot Water: To dispense hot water, first push the safety lock button (usually red) and then press the red tap lever. Release the safety lock after dispensing.

Note: The hot water safety lock is a crucial feature to prevent burns. Always ensure it is engaged when the hot water tap is not actively being used.
