Operating Instructions
Cold Water Dispensing

Hot Water Dispensing

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 it is dispensing water. Never allow children to serve hot water without direct and adequate supervision. Disable the heating function by placing the heating switch on the rear of the unit in the Off position or unplug the unit.
Bottle Replacement
When the bottle is empty, the empty bottle light will flash. To prevent water inside from freezing or overheating, the dispenser will not heat or cool water when the empty bottle light is flashing. Replace the bottle as soon as possible to reactivate cooling and heating.
- Open the dispenser cabinet door and remove the empty bottle.
- Remove the tube connector from the empty bottle and place it in the tube support.

- Insert the tube into the bottle and slide the neck down until a click indicates it is in place. Press the top of the tube until the tube reaches the bottom of the bottle.
- Slide the bottle into the cabinet and close the door.
