3. Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the dispenser from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Position the dispenser on a level, sturdy surface. Ensure there is at least 4 inches of clearance from walls to allow for proper ventilation. Avoid placing near direct heat sources or in direct sunlight.

- Initial Flushing: Before first use, dispense at least 1 liter of water from each tap (hot, cold, and warm) to flush the system. This helps remove any dust or residue from manufacturing. Do not plug in the unit until water flows from all taps.
- Power Connection: Once flushed, plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Activation: Turn on the hot and cold water switches located on the back of the unit. Allow approximately 15-20 minutes for the water to reach optimal temperatures and for ice production to begin.
