Package Contents

Package contents include: Filter flushing tube (A), Shut-off valve tube (7 ft.) (B), Filter housing (for filter flushing) (C), Sediment filter (D), Carbon block filter (E), Feedwater adapter (with extra nut) (F), Plumber's tape (G), Pressure-reducing valve (H), and Tube cutter (I).

Installation

Materials Needed

• Wrench

1. Install the Dispenser

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

B. Position the back of the dispenser no closer than 3 in. (7.62 cm) from wall to permit free airflow between the wall and water dispenser.

C. Ensure the drip tray sits fully and securely on the counter and does not extend over it.

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. Connect to the Cold Water Supply

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THIS WATER LINE TO A HOT WATER SUPPLY LINE. The water supply to the unit MUST be from the COLD WATER LINE. Using HOT WATER will severely damage your filters.

NOTE: Plumber's tape has been included to facilitate installation. Use it on threaded plumbing connections to ensure a secure seal. If your water pressure is high, a pressure-reducing valve has been included. Install it on the 1/4" shut-off valve tube (B) after the feedwater adapter (F), but before the shut-off valve on the tube. Use tube cutter to cleanly cut tubing.

A. Turn off the cold water supply, then disconnect the cold water pipe from the cold water supply line.

B. Connect the feedwater adapter (F) to the cold water supply line.

C. Connect the cold water pipe to the top of the feedwater adapter (F).

NOTE: An extra adapter nut is included on top of the feedwater adapter (F) to attach to a 3/8 in. or 1/2 in. feed plumbing line.

D. Insert the shut-off valve with tube (B) straight into the quick connector piece of the feedwater adapter (F).

E. Gently tug on the tube (B) to ensure a secure connection with the feedwater adapter (F).

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 activate the heating and cooling switches, ensure water has filled the tanks inside the dispenser in order to prevent dry heating.

1. Plug in the 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 tap and press the cold water button to dispense cold water or the ambient water button to dispense room temperature water.
2. Release button when your container is full.

Disable Child Safety Lock and Dispense Hot Water

Never allow children to dispense hot water without proper and direct supervision. Disable the heating feature by switching 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 in order to prevent inadvertent dispensing. To disable the child safety lock feature, press the lock button.
2. To dispense hot water, place a cup or container under the tap and press the hot water button.

Troubleshooting

Cleaning and Maintenance

This water dispenser is equipped with UVC LED "UV-Care" Technology. It's important to note that the UV-Care feature in this water cooler is specifically designed for sanitizing the cold tank, not for purifying the water. This system features a UV LED light above the cold tank, which activates for 120 minutes and then turns off for 140 minutes, which keeps the tank clean and sanitized. An indicator light on the cooler illuminates when the UV light is active, allowing you to easily see when it's on or off. The LED technology requires minimal maintenance and is built to last, with a lifespan of about 3 years due to its intermittent operation. This automatic on/off cycle prevents constant use and significantly extends the LED light's life.

Indicator lights for Filter 1, Filter 2, and UV are shown.

Filter Replacement Schedule

Replace the Filters

IMPORTANT: Only replace the filters with new filters designed for this dispenser. Any other type of filter will damage the machine and void any warranty.

When filters are approaching end of life, the indicator lights start to blink. To change filters:

1. Shut off the water supply.
2. Remove expired filters.
3. Flush the new filters according to instructions under “Flush the Filters.” Install new, flushed filters. Ensure sediment filter is on the left and carbon block is on the right.
4. Press the filter reset button (13) until the red indicator light turns off.
