4. Initial Flush: Before plugging in, dispense at least 1 liter (4 cups) of water from each spigot (hot, room, cold) to prime the system and remove any air. This may take a few moments for water to flow.
5. Power Connection: Plug the dispenser into a grounded 220-240V AC outlet. Do not use extension cords.
6. Heating and Cooling: Allow approximately 15-20 minutes for the hot and cold water to reach their optimal temperatures after plugging in. The indicator lights on the control panel will show when the desired temperatures are reached.

• Anti-Boil Dry System: The dispenser is equipped with an anti-boil dry system to prevent damage if the hot water tank runs low.
• Electronic Water Level Sensors: Water levels in the bottle are monitored by electronic sensors, indicating when the bottle is empty and needs replacement.

1. Unplug the Dispenser: Always unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning.
