Setup and Installation
Setting up your Brio water cooler is straightforward. Choose a flat, stable surface near a power outlet. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation.
Loading the Water Bottle
The bottom-loading design makes bottle replacement effortless. Simply open the lower cabinet door, slide in a 3- or 5-gallon water bottle, and insert the probe into the bottle's opening. Close the door, and the dispenser will begin drawing water.

Initial Power-Up
After placing the water bottle, plug in the unit. Allow approximately 15-20 minutes for the water to reach optimal hot and cold temperatures before dispensing. The indicator lights on the control panel will show when the desired temperatures are reached.
Operating Instructions
Your Brio water cooler offers three temperature settings for various needs:
- Hot Water: Ideal for tea, coffee, or instant meals. Features a child-safety lock for secure dispensing.
- Cold Water: Perfect for refreshing, chilled drinks.
- Room Temperature Water: For those who prefer water at ambient temperature.

Child-Safety Lock
To dispense hot water, you must simultaneously press the child-safety lock button located above the hot water dispensing button and then press the hot water dispensing button. This two-step process prevents accidental hot water dispensing.
Nightlight Feature
The built-in nightlight illuminates the dispensing area, providing visibility in low-light conditions and making it easy to see the removable drip tray.

Drip Tray Cleaning
The removable drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent overflow and maintain hygiene. Simply slide it out, empty any accumulated water, wash with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and replace.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Brio water cooler, please refer to the following common solutions:
- No Water Dispensing: Ensure the water bottle is correctly installed and not empty. Check if the unit is plugged in and powered on.
- Water Not Hot/Cold Enough: Allow sufficient time for the unit to reach temperature after initial setup or bottle change. Ensure the hot/cold switches on the back of the unit are turned on.
- Leaking: Check the water bottle for cracks or damage. Ensure the probe is properly seated in the bottle.
- Unusual Noise: Some operational noises are normal (e.g., compressor cycling). If noise is excessive or persistent, ensure the unit is on a level surface.
