Important Safety Instructions

WARNING	To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your appliance, follow these basic precautions:
Read all instructions before using the water dispenser.Never clean parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other water dispenser. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.-Save these instructions-

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Place your appliance on a countertop or surface that is strong enough to support the dispenser when it is fully loaded. The unit is provided with four plastic feet, if it does not sit level on the floor, adjust the front feet to level the unit well to the floor.
• Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the water dispenser and the wall, which allows for proper air circulation to cool the compressor.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Avanti Products service center.
• This water dispenser is not recommended for outdoor use.
• Do not locate the dispenser in area where the temperature may fall below freezing (32° F).
• Keep area around dispenser free of dust and dirt.
• Keep the reserve supply of water bottles away from excessive heat and light.
• Never unplug the water cooler, except for maintenance.

Warning

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC \~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

SURGE PROTECTOR

Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.

If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.

Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Before Using Your Water Dispenser

- Check to be sure the following parts are included:

• Instruction manual
  ■ 2 extra cup dispenser cabinet plugs
  ■ 2 extra drain seals
  ■ Accessories order form.

• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

• The water dispenser is pre-cleaned at the factory but the reservoir and water lines must be flushed with fresh water before use as follows:
• Keep the unit unplugged.
• Fill water tank with tap water full to capacity. Wait for 5 minutes until water settles.
• Slide child safety button then push the hot water faucet until water comes out, then stop.
• Plug the dispenser into the electrical outlet. We are ready to complete the first cycle. In order to do that, wait for the hot water to reach temperature in approximately 10 minutes, and then wait for the cold to reach temperature (another 40 minutes, approximately).
• Unplug the dispenser from the electrical outlet. Proceed to drain the water from the faucets one at a time until no more water remains.
  (Note: To facilitate this operation, use a large container).
• Then, drain any water left in the tanks by opening the drain plug located on the back, until it drains completely.
  • Proceed to close the drain cap.
• Remove the cap from the 5-gallon bottle and use a clean cloth to wipe off the neck of the bottle.
• Place the 5-gallon bottle of water on the water intake, allow water to stand for approximately one minute.
• Push water faucet buttons to insure water flows from both faucets.
• Plug dispenser back into the electrical outlet.
  • Now you are ready to use your water dispenser.

NOTE: Your water dispenser has been cleaned and sanitized before leaving the factory, but in case a taste problem develops, place two tablespoons of baking soda and add tap water. Fill water tank again and repeat basic operations previously outlined, except turn hot water switch "OFF" to avoid leaving residues in hot water tank.

ATTENTION:

If you do not plan to use the water heating function for more than three days, we recommend that you turn off the hot water function.

WARNING

IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF THE POWER CORD IS DAMAGED, HAVE IT REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED AVANTI PRODUCTS SERVICE CENTER.

OPERATING YOUR WATER DISPENSER

Steps To Replace Water Bottles

• Remove cap.
  • Use a clean cloth to wipe off neck of bottle.
• Carefully lift bottle (approx. 40 lbs.) using your legs and not your back. Do not place hands on opening of bottle while placing in reservoir.
• Insert the water bottle on the water intake over reservoir opening so it settles properly on it.
• Wipe off any water which may have splashed on dispenser top.

When a new bottle is installed you must open the hot water faucet and remove no less than 4 full cups of water to insure the water flows properly and the water reservoir is at the proper level.

Control and Display Panel

For operation of unit, please fill water and make sure water settles inside the water tank, and then switch on both hot and cold switches at back of unit.

NOTE: THE HOT WATER FAUCET HAS A CHILD-SAFETY GUARD ATTACHMENT.
