4. Setup

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dispenser from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
  2. Placement: Place the dispenser on a flat, stable, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation (at least 10 cm from walls). Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
  3. Power Connection: Ensure the dispenser is unplugged.
  4. Water Bottle Installation: Remove the protective seal from a standard 3 or 5-gallon (11 or 19-liter) water bottle. Invert the bottle and carefully place it onto the support collar on top of the dispenser. Push down firmly until the bottle is seated and water begins to flow into the dispenser's reservoir. The anti-leak system ensures a secure fit.
  5. Initial Priming: Before plugging in, dispense water from both the cold and hot taps until water flows steadily. This removes air from the system.
  6. Plug In: Plug the dispenser into a grounded electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

The dispenser is designed for easy operation, providing cold, hot, and ambient water with a simple touch.
