7. INSTALLING YOUR WATER COOLER FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Ensure the unit is unplugged.
2. Open the cabinet door and locate the hose with the
quick-connector, bottle cap and stainless steel tube.
3. Installing the water bottle pump connection (Fig. 1)
A. With a 3 or 5 gallon water bottle standing outside the
unit, just in front of the opened cabinet, place the stainless
steel tube (1) inside the bottle with at least a gallon of water
(insert the bent end of the tube into the bottle). Part of the
tube will be exposed over the bottle neck. It is normal to
have a further portion of the tube exposed when using a 3
gallon water bottle.
B. Slide the bottle cap (2) over the tube and press it
down on the opening of the bottle to secure it.
C. Remove the Blue Lock Ring (5) in order to connect
the hose with the quick-connector (3) to the end of the
stainless steel tube. Make sure the tube is pushed all the
way into the fitting end until it seats at the stop, otherwise
the water may not be pumped. Reinsert the Blue Lock
Ring back to its original position. The connector should
stay firmly on the tube.
NOTE: the Blue Lock Ring is an extra safety mechanism.
The quick connector should still hold on firmly to the
stainless steel tube by the Snap Ring (4)
D. The quick-connector can be detached using one hand
to press in on the Snap Ring (4) and twisting it a little to the
left while the other hand pulls out the stainless steel tube.
NOTE: after attaching the quick-connector for the first
time there is no need to detach it for every bottle change.
Just lift the stainless steel tube from the empty bottle
and insert it on the new one.
4. Slide the water bottle inside the cabinet with the pump
connection attached and close the door.
5. Plug the dispenser unit into the electrical outlet. Please review the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS and INSTALLATION GUIDELINES before doing so. The unit will start to fill
the cold and hot water tanks (it will take approx. 5 minutes). Allow the water to settle into
the cold and hot water tanks for 5 minutes. Push each water tap (hot and cold temperature)
to ensure water is running through the unit. (Fig. 2)
6. Turn ON the hot water switch, wait a couple minutes and turn ON the cold water switch.
Allow the unit to reach the minimum cold and hot water temperatures.
This will take approximately 35 to 45 minutes and the indicator lights will turn OFF. (Fig. 3)
7. Test the water temperatures by pushing once again on the water taps.
8. Turn OFF both hot and cold water switches and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
9. Proceed to drain the water from the faucets one at a time by pushing on the hot and cold
taps until no more water remains.
10. Turn counterclockwise to open the drain cap and drain the water from the tanks. Do not tilt
the unit to drain the water. (Fig. 4) CAUTION: Hot water may dispense from the drain cap.
11. Close the drain cap by turning it clockwise.
12. Your unit is ready to be used. Please repeat steps 5 and 6.
