Operation
Once the bottle base is installed, you can place a 5-gallon water bottle onto the dispenser:
- Prepare Bottle: Ensure the 5-gallon water bottle is clean and free of debris. Remove any protective seals or caps from the bottle's opening.
- Place Bottle: Carefully lift the 5-gallon water bottle and invert it, placing its neck into the opening of the installed SOOPYK bottle base. The pins in the base will engage with the bottle's opening, creating a spill-proof seal.
- Secure Bottle: Gently push the bottle down until it is firmly seated in the base. You should hear or feel the water beginning to fill the dispenser's reservoir.
- Plug In Dispenser: Once the bottle is securely in place and water is flowing into the reservoir, you may plug the water cooler dispenser back into the electrical outlet.
