Brio 130SS Series Bottom Load Water Cooler Dispenser

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Brio 130SS Series Bottom Load Water Cooler Dispenser. This appliance provides convenient access to hot, room temperature, and cold water from 5-gallon bottles. Designed for ease of use and safety, it features a bottom-loading design to eliminate heavy lifting, a child safety lock for hot water, and an empty bottle alert system. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use to ensure proper operation and maintenance.

Important Safety Information

• Electrical Safety: Always plug the dispenser into a grounded outlet. Do not use extension cords.
• Hot Water Hazard: The hot water dispenser can reach temperatures up to 194°F (90°C). Exercise extreme caution.
• Child Safety: Always engage the child safety lock when dispensing hot water, especially in households with children.
• Placement: Place the dispenser on a flat, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
• Initial Setup: After unpacking, allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in and turning it on. This allows the compressor lubricants to settle.
• Water Supply: Use only potable water in 5-gallon bottles. Do not operate the hot or cold water functions without a water bottle installed to prevent dry heating.

Setup

1. Unpacking and Placement: Carefully remove the dispenser from its packaging. Place the unit on a firm, level floor surface. Ensure there is at least 4 inches of clearance from the back and sides of the unit to a wall for proper ventilation.
2. Initial Stand Time: Allow the water cooler to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it into an electrical outlet.
3. Water Bottle Installation:

   • Open the lower cabinet door of the dispenser.
   • Remove the cap from a new 5-gallon water bottle.
   • Insert the probe assembly into the opening of the water bottle. Ensure the probe is fully inserted and the collar is securely seated on the bottle neck.
   • Slide the water bottle into the bottom compartment and close the cabinet door.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded 110-120V AC outlet.
5. Initial Water Flow: Before turning on the heating and cooling switches, dispense water from all three taps (hot, room, cold) until water flows steadily. This primes the system and prevents dry heating.
6. Activate Heating and Cooling: Locate the heating and cooling switches on the back of the unit. Flip them to the 'ON' position. The indicator lights on the front panel will illuminate.

Maintenance

• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the dispenser with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Internal Cleaning/Descaling: Periodically, the internal water tanks may require cleaning or descaling. Refer to the full product manual for detailed instructions on this process, which typically involves using a food-grade cleaning solution.
