Frequently Asked Questions - LZO8L Elkay

How do I install the LZO8L water dispenser?

Connect the unit to a cold water line using the supplied 1/4-inch tubing. Ensure the shut-off valve is open and allow water to flow until air is purged. Plug in to a standard 120V outlet.

How often should I replace the filter?

Replace the filter every 6 months or after 1500 liters, whichever comes first. Use only Elkay-compatible filters.

Why is there no cold water coming out?

Check that the unit is plugged in and the cooling switch is on. If the compressor is running but no cold water, wait 1-2 hours for initial cooling. Ensure the tank is full.

Can I adjust the hot water temperature?

The hot water temperature is factory set to approximately 185°F. There is no user-adjustable thermostat. Contact Elkay service if adjustment is needed.

How do I clean the dispenser?

Unplug the unit. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth. Clean drip tray with mild soap. For internal sanitization, use a vinegar solution (1:1 ratio) and run through both tanks, then flush with fresh water.

Why is the dispenser making a loud noise?

Normal operation includes compressor hum and water flow sounds. If excessive vibration or rattling occurs, ensure the unit is level and on a sturdy surface. Loose components should be tightened.

Does the LZO8L have a child safety feature?

Yes, the hot water tap is equipped with a red child safety lock. Push the lock forward before pressing the hot water button.

What is the warranty period?

Elkay offers a one-year warranty covering parts and labor from the date of purchase. Register your product online to activate warranty.

Can I use bottled water with this dispenser?

No, the LZO8L is designed as a bottleless model. It requires a direct connection to a cold water line. Do not attempt to attach a bottle.

How long does it take to heat water?

Initial heating takes about 10 minutes to reach full temperature. Refill heating is faster due to smaller water volume. The unit maintains temperature automatically.

1) Remove hanger bracket fastened to back of cooler by removing one (1) screw.
2) Mount the hanger bracket as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: Hanger Bracket MUST be supported securely. Add fixture support carrier if wall will not provide adequate support. Anchor hanger securely to wall using all six (6) 1/4 in. dia. mounting holes.

IMPORTANT:

5-7/8 in. (150mm) dimension from wall to centerline of trap must be maintained for proper fit.

INSTALLATION OF COOLER

3) Hang the cooler on the hanger bracket. Be certain the hanger bracket is engaged properly in the slots on the cooler back as shown in Figure 2.
4) Remove the four (4) screws holding the lower front panel at the bottom of cooler. Remove the front panel by pulling straight down and set aside.
5) Connect water inlet line--See Note 4 of General Instructions.
6) Install trap. Remove the slip nut and gasket from the trap and install them on the cooler waste line making sure that the end of the waste line fits into the trap. Assemble the slip nut and gasket to the trap and tighten securely.
IMPORTANT: If it is necessary to cut the drain, loosen the screw at the black rubber boot and remove tube, check for leaks after re-assembly.
7) Plug in electrical power. Unit must have electrical power to have water flow.

START UP

Also See General Instructions

8) Stream height is factory set at 35 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, adjust screw located on the left side below the push bar assembly on the crossbar. CW adjustment will raise stream and CCW adjustment will lower stream. For best adjustment, stream should hit basin approximately 6-1/2" (165mm) from bubbler on the downward slope of the basin.
NOTE: If continuous flow occurs at the end of the compressor cycle, turn cold control counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
9) Replace the front panel ensuring that the metal wrapper is secured inside of the upper shroud. Replace all four screws previously removed.

SENSOR RANGE ADJUSTMENT:

The electronic sensor used in this cooler is factory pre-set for a “visual” range of 36 inches (914 mm). If actual range varies greatly from this or a different setting is desired, follow the range adjustment procedure below:

- Using a small tip screwdriver, locate range adjustment screw through the small hole between the sensor lenses (See Page 1.) Turn this screw clockwise to increase range and counterclockwise to decrease range (See Fig. 3).

CAUTION: Complete range of sensor (24-36 inches/610-1168mm) is only one turn of the adjusting screw.

SENSOR WITH VISUAL FILTER MONITOR (VFM) – LZO SERIES:

The electronic sensor includes LED filter status indicators that are factory preset to monitor filter life. The sensor monitors the "ON" time of the water valve solenoid and keeps track of total time water is dispensed. There are (3) LED's and indicates the following:

Green LED (Good) indicates that the filter is operating within 0% - 80% of its life.

Yellow LED indicates that the filter is operating within 80% - 100% of its life.

Red LED (Replace) indicates that the filter needs to be replaced since it has reached end of filter life.

Once power is applied to the water cooler, if all three LED's flash then the Green LED illuminates, this indicates that there is some filter usage memory stored. When the Green LED comes on only, this indicates that the filter life is at absolute 0% of filter life. NOTE: You may have some very minimal filter life in memory upon receiving water cooler due to factory functional testing.

NOTE: The filter status will be retained until reset (see resetting filter monitor). The filter monitor will retain its memory even during a loss of power.

RESETTING VISUAL FILTER MONITOR (VFM):

In order to reset the visual filter monitor status LED's, you must remove the access panel (item 13) underneath the front dispenser. With your finger or straight blade screw driver, reach inside opening and depress the reset button located on the back of the sensor for a minimum of 1 second. (You may need a flashlight) Reinstall access panel and the Green LED should be illuminated indicating that the visual filter monitor has been reset.

SENSOR CONTROL: If sensor fails to operate valve mechanism or operates erratically, check the following.

A. Ensure there are no obstructions within a 40 inch (1016mm) radius in front of cooler.
B. Check wire connections at the solenoid valve and sensor. CAUTION: Make sure unit is unplugged before checking any wiring.
C. Ensure proper operation of solenoid valve. If there is an audible clicking sound yet no water flows, look for an obstruction in the valve itself or elsewhere in the water supply line.

Service Instructions

Lower and Upper Shroud

To access the refrigeration system and plumbing connections, remove four screws from bottom of cooler to remove the lower shroud. To remove the upper shroud for access to the pushbars, regulator, solenoid valve or other components located in the top of the unit, remove lower shroud, disconnect drain, remove four screws from tabs along lower edge of upper shroud, unplug two wires and water tube.

Bubbler

To remove the bubbler, first disconnect the power supply. The underside of the bubbler can be reached through the access panel (Item 13) on the underside of the upper shroud (Item 2). Remove the access panel by removing the retaining screw. To remove the bubbler, loosen locknut from the underside of the bubbler and remove the tubing from the quick connect fitting per the Operation Of Quick Connect Fittings section in the General Instructions. After servicing, replace the access panel and retaining screw.

NOTE:

When installing replacement bubbler and pedestal, tighten nut (Item 11) only to hold parts snug in position. Do Not Overtighten.

Cleaning the strainer

To clean the strainer, unscrew the cap of the solenoid valve. Remove screen and rinse thoroughly with water. Insert screen back into solenoid valve and screw cap on. Make sure the o-ring is placed properly.

CLEANING

Warm, soapy water or mild household cleaning products can be used to clean the exterior panels of the EZ coolers. Extra caution should be used to clean the mirror finished stainless steel panels. They can be easily scratched and should only be cleaned with mild soap and water or Windex glass cleaner and a clean, soft cloth Use of harsh chemicals or petroleum based or abrasive cleaners will void the warranty.
