2. Safety Precautions
- Always place the dispenser on a firm, level surface to prevent tipping.

- Keep the appliance away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- The hot water dispenser is equipped with a child safety lock. Always engage this lock when not in use to prevent accidental scalding.

3. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the dispenser from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Placement: Position the unit on a flat, stable, and dry surface. Ensure there is at least 4 inches of clearance from walls for proper ventilation.

- Water Bottle Installation: Place a standard 3 or 5-gallon water bottle securely onto the top loading receptacle. Ensure the bottle is properly seated to prevent leaks.
