• 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 plug unit into receptacle until you ensure the water tank switches are off. -Save these instructions-

Electrical Connection 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. Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Avanti Products service center. This appliance requires a standard 115/120-volt 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the dispenser when it is fully loaded. If it does not sit level on the floor, adjust the front right foot to level the unit well to the floor. Note: Both of the front feet are adjustable.

• 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 º 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 or transport.7 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Before Using Your Water Dispenser

• Check to be sure the following parts are included: Instruction manual 4 extra cup dispenser cabinet plugs 2 extra drain plug seals

• 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 (more than 3/4 of a gallon). Wait for 5 minutes until water settles.

• Press the hot water faucet until water comes out, then stop.

• Plug the dispenser into the electrical outlet. Both heating and cooling indicator lights on front will light up at first. We are ready to complete the first cycle. In order to do that, wait for the hot water indicator light to go off first (approximately 10 minutes), then wait for the cold water indicator light to go off (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. Be sure the drain plug seal is in place. If not, replace with one of the spares included with this manual. Closing the drain cap without the seal in place will result in leakage and possible damage to the water dispenser and or its surroundings.

• Place the 5-gallon bottle of water on the water intake, allow water to stand for approximately one minute.

• Open water faucets to insure water flows from both faucets.

• Check the area around the drain valve at the rear of the unit for leakage.

• Plug dispenser 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 the switch marked HOT “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 the HOT switch to the “OFF” position.

Steps to replace water bottles

• 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.

Hot and Cold Power ON/OFF Indicator Lights Once the power switches for the HOT and COLD water systems (located on the rear of the unit) have been turn ON, these lights will illuminate to advise the user that the systems are activated and operating. Hot Water Indicator Light Turn the heating switch on, the red indicator will glow and the heating process starts. When the water reaches the right temperature (185º - 203ºF / 85º - 95ºC) the red light goes off automatically. When the temperature goes below 176ºF (80ºC), the red indicator will glow again and another heating process starts.

Cold Water Indicator Light Turn the cooling switch on. The blue indicator will glow and the cooling process will begin. When the water reaches the right temperature (41º - 50ºF / 5º - 10ºC) the blue indicator light will turn off automatically. Once the water temperature reaches above 50ºF (10ºC) the blue indicator light will glow again indicating another cooling process has started.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
