Frequently Asked Questions - WDNS32BW HAIER

How to install my Haier WDNS32BW water dispenser?

Place the unit indoors, on a flat and hard surface, away from sunlight and heat sources. Let it stand upright for at least 12 hours before plugging in. Ensure a clearance of 2 inches on the sides and 4 inches at the back. Install a 3 or 5 gallon water bottle and check that water flows from both taps before plugging in the unit.

Why does the compressor not start?

Check that the power cord is properly plugged in. If the unit was transported in cold weather, let it warm up to room temperature for a few hours. The compressor may not start if the ambient temperature is too low (below 13 °C). Also ensure that the cold water switch at the back is in the ON position.

How to clean my water dispenser?

Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a solution of 3 to 4 tablespoons of baking soda in hot water. Clean with a soft sponge, rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use abrasive products, ammonia or bleach. Clean the drip tray regularly and the condenser 4 times a year.

What to do if hot water does not flow?

Ensure that the hot water switch at the back is in ON position and the red indicator lights up. The child safety lock must be pressed while you lower the lever or press the red button. If water still does not flow, check that the bottle is full and water flows from the cold tap.

How to drain water in case of prolonged absence?

Turn off the switches and unplug the unit. Remove the water bottle. Place a container under the drain at the back. Open the drain plug by turning clockwise (by hand). Let the water drain completely, then close the plug. Clean and store the unit upright.

Why is the cold water not cold enough?

Check that the cold water switch at the back is in ON position and the green indicator lights up. Cold water may take up to 40 minutes to reach the optimal temperature (6-10 °C). If the unit is overtaxed, allow it time to cool. If the problem persists, contact an authorized technician.

What to do if water leaks on the floor?

Check that the bottle is not cracked. Ensure that the drain plug at the back is tightly closed and the rubber gasket is in good condition. Empty the drip tray if it is full. If the leak persists, contact after-sales service.

How to use the child safety lock?

To get hot water, you must simultaneously press the child safety lock (located on the lever or red button) and lower the lever or press the button. This prevents accidental burns. The lock does not affect cold water.

What is the warranty of the Haier WDNS32BW dispenser?

The warranty covers manufacturing defects for 12 months on parts and labor, and 5 years on the refrigeration system. It starts from the purchase date. A proof of purchase is required. Damages due to incorrect installation, transport or non-household use are not covered.

Can I use an extension cord?

Using an extension cord is not recommended. If necessary, use a 14 AWG or heavier extension cord with a grounded plug. Always plug directly into a grounded wall outlet of 115 V, 60 Hz, 15 A.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove all packing materials. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remaining packaging, tape and printed material before turning on the water dispenser.

Note: Allow the water dispenser to stand in an upright position for at least 12 hours before turning on the power.

PROPER LOCATION

• To ensure that your water dispenser works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation and electrical connections.
• The following are the recommended clearances around the water dispenser.
  Sides 2" (50mm)
  Back 4" (100mm)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord containing a grounding wire and a grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

• Improper use of the plug may result in the risk of electric shock.

• Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the appliance has been properly grounded.

WIRING REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be plugged into a 15Amp, 115 Volt, 60Hz GROUNDED OUTLET.

Note: Where a standard two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet.

EXTENSION CORDS

We do not recommend the use of an extension cord with this unit.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

Occasionally, there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from wall outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, re-plug the power cord into wall outlet.

PRECAUTIONS

• 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.

• To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.

PROPER CARE AND CLEANING

Caution: Before using any cleaning product, always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury and/or product damage.

Note: It is best to clean the dispenser and its surrounding area when replacing the empty bottle with a new one. This way you can move the unit easily without the weight of the bottle.

GENERAL

• Before cleaning, place a dust cover on top of the water guard to prevent dust and debris from going into the dispenser while cleaning.
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use a sponge or a soft cloth dampened with the cleaning solution to wipe down the unit.

WARNING!

Always unplug the unit before cleaning to avoid electric shock.

Failure to do so may result in death or injury.

• Wipe with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor the unit.
• The spilled water in the drip tray must be removed regularly and cleaned properly to avoid any bacteria and residue build-up.
• We recommend that you clean the water dispenser at least twice a year. When cleaning, you do not need to take anything apart. Simply pour the baking soda/water solution through the water guard. Then rinse with plenty of water and allow the water to drain.
• Remove the accumulated water from the drip tray, and wipe the compartment clean.

CLEANING THE CONDenser COILS

We recommend that you move the dispenser away from the wall and vacuum or brush the coils on the rear of the unit at least 4 times a year. Some operating environments may require more frequent cleaning.

FOR LONG VACATIONS OR ABSENCES / MOVING

• Turn OFF water dispenser.
• Unplug the unit.
• If bottle still contains water, remove it quickly and carefully to avoid spillage.
• Put a container or bucket on the floor under the drain on the back of the unit to catch the water released from the drain tube.
• Remove the drain plug located on the side of the unit to release the water and empty both the tanks.

Note: Remove drain plug by turning it in a "clockwise direction". Please note not to use any tools to remove or install the drain plug. Use hands only.

• After completing the drain process, replace the drain plug to its original position.
• You must store the unit at room temperature.
• Avoid storing the unit where the temperature is at or below freezing.
• When moving, the unit must be moved vertically. DO NOT move the unit in horizontal position as this may cause possible damage to internal parts.
• You must cover the unit to avoid dust and debris from entering the water guard.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If the power is switched on and the compressor will not start up:

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in properly
• If the water dispenser is brought indoors in the winter, give it a few hours to warm up to room temperature before plugging it in. Cold bottled water or the temperature of the water dispenser itself may affect the thermostat setting. If the room temperature is lower than the thermostat setting or the water dispenser itself is cold the compressor will not start up. We do not advise that you make any adjustments to the thermostat setting.

If water dispenser operation is noisy:

• Make sure the water dispenser sits on a level surface. If the dispenser is noisy after its first use, unplug it for half an hour and try again.

If the condenser becomes too hot:

• When the compressor is working, it is normal for the condenser to be hot. If you are concerned that the temperature is too high, check to see that there is enough room around the water dispenser to allow proper ventilation.

If the cold water tap doesn't work and the cold water tank freezes

• The cold water tap may freeze under extreme conditions. If the water is not being used, the cooling compartment is loaded and the compressor is running continuously, the cold water tank can freeze.
• To thaw the cold water tank, turn off the power, unplug the unit and remove the water bottle. Keep draining hot water and pouring it back into the water receptacle. Once the tank has thawed, place the bottle on the unit, plug the unit in again, and turn the hot and cold switches back on.

If the water is not cold enough:

• This is due to either a compressor malfunction or the cold water may be in the OFF position.
• Check if the cold water is in the ON position.
• Cold water is used very frequently.

If water is dripping from the dispenser onto the floor:

• The water bottle may have small pinholes or cracks and may be leaking.
• The drain plug in the rear may be improperly fastened. Check that the soft rubber seal is not torn or damaged.
• The drip tray may be full of water. Take out the drip tray and empty it before replacing it.
