4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your water dispenser for the first time.
4.1 Unpacking
- Carefully remove the water dispenser from its packaging.
- Remove all packing materials, including any tape or protective film.
- Inspect the unit for any signs of damage. If damaged, do not use and contact customer support.
4.2 Placement
- Place the dispenser on a flat, stable, and level surface capable of supporting its weight when full.
- Ensure the dispenser is placed in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., ovens, dishwashers).
- Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance from walls and other objects to ensure proper ventilation.
4.3 Water Bottle Installation
This dispenser features a bottom-loading design for easy water bottle replacement.

- Open the lower cabinet door of the dispenser.
- Remove the cap from a new 3 or 5-gallon water bottle.
- Insert the probe from the dispenser into the opening of the water bottle. Ensure the probe is fully inserted.
- Slide the water bottle into the cabinet and close the door securely.
4.4 Initial Priming and Power Connection
- Before plugging in the unit, allow water to fill the internal tanks. Press each dispensing button (cold, warm, hot) until water flows steadily from each spout. This ensures the tanks are full and prevents damage to heating elements.
- Once water flows from all spouts, plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- The indicator lights on the control panel will illuminate, signaling that the dispenser is powered on and beginning to cool and heat the water.

6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your water dispenser.
6.1 Cleaning the Drip Tray
Figure 6.1: Steps for removing and cleaning the removable drip tray.
- The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent overflow and bacterial growth.
- Gently lift the drip tray from its position below the spouts.
- Empty any collected water and wash the tray with mild soap and warm water.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry before replacing it.
6.2 Exterior Cleaning
- Unplug the dispenser from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure no water enters the ventilation openings or electrical components.
6.3 Descaling (Recommended Annually)
Over time, mineral deposits can build up inside the hot water tank. Descaling helps maintain efficiency.
- Unplug the dispenser and drain all water from the hot and cold tanks.
- Prepare a descaling solution (e.g., a mixture of white vinegar and water, or a commercial descaling agent designed for water dispensers).
- Pour the solution into the hot water tank (refer to specific instructions for accessing the tank, usually via a cap on top or back).
- Allow the solution to sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Drain the solution completely.
- Rinse the tanks thoroughly with clean water several times to remove any residual descaling solution.
- Refill with fresh water and perform initial priming before plugging back in.
