Frequently Asked Questions - WDLS056 HAIER

How to install the water bottle on the Haier WDLS056 dispenser?

Remove the bottle cap, lift it and quickly place it in the protection housing, making sure it stays upright. Ensure that water flows from the faucets before turning on the hot and cold switches.

What to do if water does not flow from the faucet?

Check that the water bottle is properly installed and that the air vent is not blocked. Adjust the position of the bottle in the protection housing to free the air vent.

How to clean the Haier water dispenser?

Unplug the unit. Prepare a solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda in hot water. Clean with a soft sponge, rinse with warm water and dry. Do not use abrasive products or bleach.

Why is the hot water not heating?

Make sure the hot water switch (red) at the back is in the On position. Also check that the unit is plugged in and that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Can I use an extension cord with this dispenser?

It is not recommended to use an extension cord with this appliance. Plug it directly into a 115-120V/15A grounded outlet.

How to drain the dispenser before a move or a long absence?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the empty bottle. Place a bucket under the drain hole at the back, remove the drain cap to empty the water, then replace the cap. Transport the appliance upright.

What is the temperature of the cold and hot water?

Hot water is maintained between 185°F and 197°F (85°C - 92°C). Cold water is maintained between 42.8°F and 50°F (6°C - 10°C).

The indicator light stays on constantly, is this normal?

The green (cold) and red (hot) indicators light up when heating or cooling is in progress. They turn off automatically when the desired temperature is reached. A light that stays on continuously may indicate normal operation in very hot weather.

Can I store food in the refrigerator compartment?

Yes, the refrigerator compartment (on some models) allows storing beverages and perishable foods. Wait 8 hours after first startup before placing food inside.

Where to find the serial number and model number of my dispenser?

The model number and serial number are on a label located at the back of the unit. Write them down for any warranty claims.

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 3 / 4'' (19mm)

Back 2" (50mm)

• Do not install your water dispenser in any location that is not properly insulated or heated because the unit is not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55^ / 13^ .

Note: The built-in thermostat maintains the hot and cold temperatures automatically. On the compressor cooled water coolers the hot water temperature will be between 185^ - 197^ F/ 85^ - 92^ C and the cold water temperature will be between 42.8^ - 50^ F/ 6^ - 10^ C. On the thermal electric cooled water coolers the hot water temperature will be between 185^ - 197^ F/ 85^ - 92^ C and the cold water temperature will be between 50^ - 59^ F/ 10^ - 15^ C.

• Select a suitable location for the unit on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc).

Note: Hot and cold water will not be instantly available as the unit will need time to heat up and cool down the water.

CAUTION: DO NOT plug in the water dispenser until water flows through both Hot and Cold water faucets.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Read carefully and understand all installation instructions before installing the water dispenser.

Installing Your Water Dispenser

Follow the steps below to install the water dispenser.

1. Remove the cap from the water bottle first. Lift up the water bottle and quickly place it into the water guard. Make sure it is standing in an upright position. (The water bottle is not included.)

1. DO NOT plug in the water dispenser until you have checked that water flows out when either of the faucets are pressed. Never turn on the water dispenser without water in it. Doing so may cause the unit to catch fire or malfunction.
2. Check that water flows out by pressing both the Hot and Cold faucets one at a time.
3. Plug the power cord into an 115Volt / 60Hz outlet.
4. To activate the water heater and cooler, turn ON the red and green switches on the back of the unit. The hot & cold indicators in the front will be lit.

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.

OPERATING YOUR WATER DISPENSER

This water dispenser maintains instant hot and cold water for your cooking and

drinking needs. It accepts 2, 3 or 5-gallon water bottles.

Cold (blue) / Hot (red) Water Facuits (WDLT165)

• Press the tap lever down to release the water flow.
• Pull the tap lever up to stop the water flow.

Note: The hot (red) water faucet is equipped with a child safety lock to prevent accidental spilling of hot water. To release the hot water flow, the tap lever must be squeezed and then pushed down.

• In the case of WDLT165 press in the hot water safety child lock and then push down. Release the lever to stop the water flow.
• In case of WDLS056 push the red child safety button to the left and press in the button for hot water. For cold water just push the right button in.

Cold (green) / Hot (red) Water Switches (located on the rear of the unit)

Cold Water Switch (green):

The cold water switch activates the cooling process when turned ON.

• Press the switch to the ON position. The switch should become lit.

Note: When turning on the unit for the first time, it will take some time to chill the water.

Hot Water Switch (red):

The hot water switch activates the heating process when turned ON.

• Press the switch to the ON position. The switch should become lit.

Caution! Be careful when carrying hot water in your cup or container to avoid any injury or harm from spills.

Cold (green) / Hot (red) Water Indicator Lights

When the green and red lights are illuminated on the front of the unit, the heating and cooling process is in progress. When the cold and hot water has reached their proper temperatures, both lights will turn off automatically. Normally, hot water reaches proper temperature first.

USING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT (Not in all models)

The convenient refrigerator compartment can be very useful in storing beverages

and other perishable food items.

• When the dispenser is turned on for the first time, avoid food spoilage by waiting at least 8 hours before putting any food or beverages into the compartment, as the compartment may not be cool enough to store foods.

• The refrigerator is frost free. During the automatic defrost cycle, ice build-up on the rear interior wall of the compartment will melt and drip into the water-collecting tray and then evaporate naturally.

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 in between replacing the empty bottle with a new one. This way you can move the unit easily without the weight of the bottle.

WARNING!

Always unplug the unit before cleaning to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so may result in death or injury.

GENERAL

• Before cleaning, place the 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.
• 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.

CLEANING THE CONDenser COILS (Not in all models)

• 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 the cold and hot water switches.
• Unplug the unit.
• Drain the unit completely and remove the empty water bottle. 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.

Note: The location of the drain may vary depending on the model type.

• Remove the drain plug to release the water.
• 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

The unit does not operate.

• Check if your water dispenser is plugged in.
• Check the circuit breaker and the fuse to make sure there is power at the outlet.

There is no water from the faucet.

This is due to an improper setting of the water bottle or from blocked airflow.

• Adjust the position of the bottle properly on the water bottle guard so the air opening is not blocked.

There is no hot water coming from the faucet.

• Too much hot water was used in too short a period of time.
• You may need to wait awhile for more water to be heated.
• Check if the hot water switch is in the ON position.

The water is not cool.

This is due to either a compressor malfunction (for units with compressor) or the cold water switch may be in the OFF position.

• Check if the cold water button is in the ON position.

Compressor runs too frequently.

This may be necessary to maintain a constant temperature during hot and humid days.

• Clean the condenser coils on the back of the unit. (not in all units)

The water is leaking from the drip tray.

This is due to over-spilling of the water in the drip tray.

• You must remove the drip tray from the dispenser and empty out the water.
• Replace it once you have emptied the water.

What happens if the water dispenser is running dry (without the water)?

• You must never let the water dispenser run dry as this may cause damage to the unit and create a fire. DO NOT let the dispenser run without water.
• You must replace the empty bottle immediately.

What size of water bottle can I use with this water dispenser?

• You can use 2, 3 or 5-gallon bottles with our water dispenser.
