Installation

1. Determine Installation Location

A. Locate the dispenser upright on a hard, level surface that is out of direct sunlight and near a grounded wall outlet.

B. Position dispenser at least 8 in. (20 cm) from walls to permit free airflow between walls and dispenser.

IMPORTANT: Ensure dispenser stands upright for 24 hours BEFORE plugging in to allow oil to settle back into compressor. Failure to do so may damage the compressor and void warranty.

2. Install the Drip Tray and Grid

A. Unwrap the drip tray (8) from the packaging material and slide it onto the dispenser until it is secure in place.

3. Connect a Water Bottle

IMPORTANT: To prevent dry heating, do not turn on the heating and cooling switches until you complete the steps in this procedure.

A. Remove the plastic wrapping and cap from a new bottle of water (purchased separately). Then clean the new bottle with a cloth.

B. Open the cabinet door and feed the bottle adapter tube (12) into the water bottle. Ensure the tube hits the bottom of the bottle.

C. For a 5-gallon bottle, place the bottle adapter (11) over the neck of the water bottle and press securely into place.

D. For a 3-gallon bottle, press down on the two tabs on top of the bottle adapter (11) and slide the cap down the probe tubing to adjust the bottle adapter to fit.

E. Slide the water bottle into the dispenser cabinet, close the door, and plug in the dispenser.

NOTE: Water will not pump from the bottle until the door is completely closed.

F. Wait 5 minutes for the water tanks to fill with water before attempting to use the dispenser.

G. Remove air from the tanks by placing a cup under each water tap and drain at least 4 cups (1 liter) of water before initial use.

Operation

IMPORTANT: This unit has been tested and sanitized prior to packing and shipping. During transit, dust and odors can accumulate in the tank and lines. Dispense and dispose at least one quart of water prior to drinking any water.

Turn the Dispenser On/Off

IMPORTANT: Before you turn on the heating and cooling switches, ensure a bottle is installed.

1. If you have not already done so, plug in dispenser.
2. Run water through the cold and hot water taps until water begins to dispense.
3. To power on the cooling system, flip the cooling switch to the On position.
4. To power on the heating system, flip the heating switch to the On position.

Dispense Cold Water

NOTE: Water will take approximately 1 hour after plugging in and turning on to become completely chilled. The cooling light will turn off once the water has been fully chilled.

1. Place a drinking glass or container under the cold water tap and press cold water button to dispense cold water.
2. Release when your container is full.

Dispense Room Temperature Water

1. Place a drinking glass or container under room temperature tap and press room temperature water button to dispense room temperature water.
2. Release when your container is full.

Disable Child Safety Lock and Dispense Hot Water

CAUTION: This unit dispenses water at temperatures that can cause severe burns. Avoid direct contact with hot water. Keep children and pets away from the unit while dispensing. Never allow children to dispense hot water without proper and direct supervision.

To disable the heating feature, switch the heating switch to the Off position.

NOTE: Water will take approximately 15-20 minutes after plugging in and turning on to reach its hottest temperature. The heating light will turn off once the water has been fully heated.

1. This water dispenser is equipped with a child safety feature to prevent inadvertent dispensing. To enable dispensing of hot water, place a cup or container under the hot water tap. Slide the red lock button on the hot water button to the left. While holding the red button, press the hot water button and dispense hot water.
2. Release the red lock button and hot water button once your container is full.

Change the Water Bottle

CAUTION: Do not dispense hot, room or cold water if the red light is flashing as you could empty the tanks and cause the dispenser to overheat.

When the bottle indicator light on the front-right of the dispenser flashes red, it is time to replace your empty water bottle with a new water bottle:

1. Open the dispenser cabinet door and slide the empty bottle out of the cabinet.
2. Remove the bottle adapter from the empty bottle and let the probe drip into the bottle. Once dripping has stopped, place the bottle adapter on the hanger and set the empty bottle aside.
3. Follow the steps in "Connect a Water Bottle" to install your new water bottle.
4. Recycle the empty bottle at your local exchange center to receive your next bottle at a discount.

4. Pour citric acid crystals, then 2 gallons of hot water into the 5-gallon bottle or bucket. Stir or agitate briefly to mix.
5. Insert the bottle adapter tube into the bottle or bucket with the solution, secure the cap if using a bottle, and slide into dispenser, shutting door securely.
6. Plug the dispenser back in and allow the cleaning solution to fill the reservoirs. Then dispense a small amount of the solution from each tap into the cup or container.
7. Wait 20 minutes, unplug the dispenser, then drain the reservoirs as described in step C. Rinse out the solution bottle or bucket, then fill with 2 gallons of fresh hot tap water and repeat process described in step E. Allow reservoirs to fill. (Don't forget to shut door and plug in dispenser.)
8. Unplug dispenser and place a 3-gallon bucket at the back of the dispenser. Remove the drain plug while simultaneously pressing the dispense buttons. Once reservoirs have been drained, replace drain plug.
