Hamilton Beach Water Dispenser Instruction Manual

Important Safeguards

• When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• WARNING: BURN HAZARD. The product heats water to a temperature of approximately 95° C / 203° F. Water temperatures above 52° C / 125° F can cause severe burns or death from scalding. Children should be supervised by an adult when using this product.
• WARNING: FIRE HAZARD. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Do not operate the dispenser with a damaged cord. Do not use with an under rated extension cord or an extension cord without a ground.
• WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. Unplug the water dispenser before cleaning or wiping up spilled water on unit. Do not attempt to service the dispenser. Do not operate dispenser with a damaged cord.
• NOTE: The water pump system includes a special safety feature that prevents operation when the water bottle is empty. Water pump operation is also linked to the Door Switch (see # 10 on the Parts and Features list) mounted inside of the lower storage compartment. When you replace the water bottle, remember to close the Lower Door (see # 8 on the Parts and Features list).
• Never turn the product upside down or tilt more than 45 degrees. If the unit has been resting on its side or upside down for a long period of time, the unit must be put in the upright position for approximately 12 hours before turning it on.
• Never use this dispenser with water that is unsafe to drink or is from an unknown source.
• Never use any other liquids in this dispenser other than bottled water.
• Install this water dispenser in a dry place away from direct sunlight. For indoor use only.
• Never put anything flammable close to the dispenser.
• Leave a minimum of 2" (5 cm) around the back and sides of the dispenser for proper ventilation.
• Regular cleaning of the water dispenser is required for proper operation. Clean the dispenser every four months using the instructions in this manual.

Name and Structure

The water dispenser has the following components:

• 1. Power ON/OFF switches at rear
• 2. Water Bottle Inlet
• 3. Hot Water Button
• 4. Cold Water Button
• 5. Indicator Lights
• 6. Hot Water Faucet
• 7. Cold Water Faucet
• 8. Water Drip Tray

Operation

• Ambient temperature: 0-35°C
• Atmosphere: 86-106 kpa
• VOLTAGE: 115V/60HZ
• Position the water cooler on a horizontal, structurally sound ground. Leave adequate open space (10-20 cm) behind the water cooler for good ventilation.
• When using bottles with ultra-pure water, distilled water, or water with a "clever lid," tear off the hygienic labels on the lid. Place the bottles at the intake. The water guard's core will automatically open the valve and seal the bottle. When moving bottles, the valve seals automatically to prevent oozing.
• Push the hot water valves. Bubbles indicate water is flowing into the hot and cold water tanks. Keep pressing the hot water valve until water flows out. Dispensing cold water requires no particular adjustment.
• Caution: Do not connect the electrical power plug until water comes out of the hot water tap.
• After water flows from the hot tap, open the switch at the back.
• Turn the heating switch on; the red indicator light will illuminate, and the heating system will start. When the hot water reaches 86-95°C, the red light will turn off, and the heating system will stop, entering a warm-keeping status. The heating system will automatically resume if the temperature drops below 85°C.
• Turn on the cooling switch; the green indicator light will illuminate, and the cooling system will start. When the cold water reaches 5-10°C, the green light will turn off, and the cooling system will stop, entering a cold-keeping status. The cooling system will automatically resume if the temperature rises.
• The temperature is pre-adjusted and does not require customer setting.
• If the device is not used for a long time, after the hot water cools down, remove the power plug. Drain the remaining water from the hot tank, then tighten the cap. Open the cold water tap to drain the cold tank.
• If no water flows from the cooling tap, shut down the cooling switch until water flows out.

Caution

• Keep the back of the device away from walls and high-temperature elements, TV, or valuables. Place in a shady area.
• Do not switch on until water comes out of the hot water valve to prevent damage to the heating tube.
• Supervise children during operation to prevent scalding.
• Never turn on the heating switch when there is no water.
• When carrying, the angle of inclination should be less than 45 degrees.
• Choose the appropriate electrical wire and plug to avoid overheating. Use a ground wire to prevent electric shock. Shut down the power before leaving or during the night.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Household use only.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
• WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

Maintenance

• Remove power plugs or disconnect from the mains before performing any maintenance or servicing.
• Never use detergents or chemicals harmful to health to clean the water tank.
• Do not spray water directly on the product surface. Wipe the front and back with a water-soaked soft cloth.
• If dust or other foreign substances accumulate on the condenser, wipe with a water-soaked soft cloth.
• After cleaning, dry the product completely. Fill the water tanks until water comes out of the hot water tap, then connect the electric power plug. If the surface of the electric heater in the hot water tank is deposited with water deposition, heating capacity will decrease. Fill the hot water tank with an aqueous solution of 2% edible citric acid and let it sit for about two hours. If problems persist, contact your dealer or the company's service center.
• If the supply cord on this device is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord obtainable at the service center.
