Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the water dispenser from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Placement: Place the dispenser on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, especially at the back. The unit is designed for freestanding installation.
3. Water Bottle Installation:
   • Open the bottom compartment door.
   • Remove the cap from a standard 3 or 5-gallon water bottle.
   • Insert the water pump tube into the water bottle. Ensure the tube reaches the bottom of the bottle.
   • Slide the water bottle into the bottom compartment and close the door securely.
4. Initial Priming: Before plugging in the unit, open both the hot and cold water faucets until water flows out. This ensures the internal tanks are filled and prevents dry heating.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your water dispenser.

• Cleaning the Drip Tray: The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent overflow and bacterial growth. Remove the tray, wash with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and replace.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the dispenser with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Draining the Unit (for storage or extended non-use):
  • Unplug the dispenser from the power outlet.
  • Allow the hot water to cool down completely.
  • Remove the water bottle from the bottom compartment.
  • Locate the drain plug at the back or bottom of the unit. Place a bucket underneath and remove the plug to drain all water.
  • Once drained, replace the plug and store the unit in a dry, cool place.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your water dispenser, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Ensure the main power switch on the dispenser is in the 'ON' position.
  • Check your household circuit breaker.
• No Water Dispensing:
  • Ensure the water bottle is correctly installed and not empty.
  • Check if the water pump tube is properly inserted into the water bottle.
  • If it's a new machine, there might be air in the system. Open the faucets or gently shake the dispenser left and right to exhaust the air.
• Cold Water Not Cold Enough:
  • Verify the refrigeration light is on and the fan at the back is running, blowing hot air. This indicates normal electronic refrigeration.
  • Electronic refrigeration is limited to 13-15°C (55.4-59°F). High ambient temperatures (e.g., 40-45°C) can affect cooling efficiency. The optimal room temperature for best refrigeration effect is 25°C.
  • If the fan does not turn and the light is off, an unstable voltage might have caused a circuit board issue. Contact customer support for assistance.
• Hot Water Not Hot Enough:
  • Ensure the heating function is turned on and the hot water indicator light is illuminated.
  • Allow sufficient time for the water to heat up.
