Pre-Operation

Grounding Precautions:

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire or electrical shock.

• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current.
• Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of property damage, electric shock causing serious injury, and even death.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug and must be connected into a properly grounded polarized outlet. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the wall outlet is properly grounded.
• If the wall outlet is a standard 2 prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) pin from the power cord plug.
• Do not use adapter plugs or extension cords with this appliance.
• If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an electrical outlet near the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance if the power cord becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
• A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 amperes fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your Water Dispenser be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch.

6. The dispenser includes 5 meters (16 feet) of 1/4" OD Flexible Tubing. Cut to length, ensuring straight ends (Figure 1 & 2). Remove compression nut and ferrule from the valve, install them onto the tubing (Figure 3). Insert tubing into the valve until it stops (Figure 4). Slide nut and ferrule toward the valve and tighten firmly with a wrench (Figure 5). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Start Up:

1. Slowly open the Shut-off Valve (Figure 6). Check all connections for leaks before fully opening water valves. Repair leaks immediately.
2. Wait for the cold water tank to fill.
3. Press the Cold Water Dispense Button and let water run until the tank is empty. Dump the water.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 five times.

The first tank of water may have a dark discoloration (carbon deposits), which is normal and will disappear quickly.

Filter Replacement:

Replace filter every 6 months. Order replacement filters online at ghpgroupinc.com. Use only original PUR filters (Part # PQCCRB).

CAUTION: Turn off the water supply using the Manual Shut-off Valve before replacing filters. Remove and empty the drip tray. If an audible alarm sounds, refer to "WATER LEAKAGE DETECTION SYSTEM".

The filter is located behind the Lower Front Panel. Follow these steps:

1. Turn off the manual Shut-off valve (Figure 6).
2. Pull out the Drip Tray. Remove the Phillips Screw securing the Lower Front Panel. Remove the panel (Figure 10).
3. Check the Red Locking Tab (Filter Head) is in the "Unlock" position (Figure 11).
4. Pull the filter out by swinging the housing toward you.
5. Remove the old filter by turning counterclockwise.
6. Insert the new filter, turn clockwise ¼ turn until it stops. Push the Red Locking Tab to the "Locked" position.
7. Push the filter back into the clip.
8. Refer to Start Up instructions (Steps 1-4) for remaining steps.

Operation Instructions

Child Resistant Safety Switch (See Figure 18 & 19):

CAUTION: Do not allow children to use the hot water dispensing button without proper supervision.

To prevent accidental dispensing of hot water, the child safety switch must be activated. Slide the switch sideways (Figure 18), then press and hold the hot water button (Figure 19). Release the switch once water flows. The switch automatically re-engages when the hot water button is released.

Dispensing Hot Water (See Figure 20):

WARNING: Hot water is heated to approximately 90°C (194°F). Temperatures above 52°C (125°F) can cause severe burns.

The Kettle Feature (hot water) system saves energy by activating only when the red Kettle Feature button is pressed. It delivers hot water in about 3 minutes. To stop a cycle, press the red button again.

1. Press the red Kettle Feature button. The red LED will flash, indicating heating is in progress (approx. 3 minutes). A steady red LED means water is at optimal temperature.
2. To dispense hot water, place a cup under the spigot, activate the child safety switch, and press the hot water button (red indicator line) until the desired amount is dispensed. The red LED will turn off automatically during dispensing.

Hot water temperature is not adjustable.

Dispensing Cold Water:

The cooling system activates automatically when the power cord is connected.

1. A blue LED "off" indicates the cooling cycle is operational. A blue LED "on" means the compressor is off and cold water is at optimal temperature.
2. To dispense cold water, place a cup under the spigot and press the cold water button (blue indicator line) until the desired amount is dispensed.

The cold water temperature is factory-set for Energy Star compliance, delivering water between 8°C - 10°C (46°F - 50°F).

Adjusting the Cold Water Temperature (See Figure 21):

The cold water temperature is controlled by a thermostat at the rear of the dispenser. Turn the thermostat set screw (Figure 21) clockwise for warmer water or counterclockwise for colder water. If water is not dispensing correctly, ice may be building up; adjust to a warmer setting.

Adjusting the cold water temperature may affect Energy Star efficiency.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the Drip Tray (See Figure 22):

The drip tray is NOT dishwasher safe. Remove, empty, and clean regularly with mild soap and water. For tough deposits, use vinegar. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace the grill and install the tray.

Cleaning the Outside of the Water Dispenser:

Wipe the exterior with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water and dry. Vacuum or sweep dust from the condenser coils (Figure 23) at the back for better cooling efficiency.

Internal Reservoir Overflow Protection:

The cold tank has a float device (Figure 24) that controls water levels. As water rises, the float closes the inlet valve. As water falls, the float opens the valve for replenishment.

Draining the Reservoirs:

IMPORTANT! Unplug the dispenser. Dispense hot water until it cools to a safe level.

1. Turn off the water supply using the manual shut-off valve.
2. Press both dispensing buttons until water stops flowing (Figure 25).
