Operating Instructions

1. Initial Start-up

• After connecting water and power, allow the unit to stand for at least 30 minutes before turning it on. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
• Turn on the main power switch, usually located at the back or side of the unit.
• Allow several hours for the water to cool to the desired temperature.

2. Dispensing Water

• To dispense plain (uncooled) water, use the tap labeled "PLAIN WATER".
• To dispense cold water, use the tap labeled "COLD WATER".
• Push the tap lever to dispense water and release to stop.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your water cooler.

1. Cleaning the Exterior

• Unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
• Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the finish.

2. Cleaning the Water Tank and Taps

• Drain all water from the tank before cleaning.
• Clean the interior of the tank with a food-grade cleaning solution and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water multiple times to remove all cleaning agent residue.
• Clean the taps and drip tray regularly to prevent bacterial growth and mineral buildup. The extra-large stainless steel water tray is designed for rapid drainage.
• It is recommended to clean the internal components at least once every 3-6 months, or more frequently depending on usage and water quality.

3. Condenser Coil Cleaning

• Periodically clean the condenser coils located at the rear of the unit.
• Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris. This improves cooling efficiency and extends the life of the compressor.
