Use EXTREME CAUTION when handling the appliance. When taking out of package, it is recommended to lay the box safely on its side. For the most part, the HOT & COLD WATER TOP LOAD WATER COOLER is assembled. Once unpacked and standing up right, the drip tray will need to be inserted.

Location Requirements:

2. Install and use only on a hard, flat and level surface.
3. Do NOT place the dispenser inside an enclosed space or cabinet.
4. Position the dispenser no closer than 4 inches from the wall with at least 4 inches clearance on the sides to permit free airflow.

1. Service should only be performed by a certified technician.

WATER COOLERS

It is very easy to replace 3 or 5 gallon coolers (not included). NOTE: Excessive weight hazard - It is recommended to use two or more people to move and install bottles. Failure to do so can result in injury.

With reusable cap:

- If your water bottle has a reusable cap on the end with a plug, safely place the 3 or 5 gallon bottle onto the bottle probe and the nozzle should fit securely onto the base. Once secure, you will begin to see water flowing from the bottle to the tank.

If there is no reusable cap:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend down to grab the new water bottle.
2. Lift the bottle up and slowly tip it to a 45-degree angle to allow water to begin dripping into the cooler.
3. Place the bottle into an upright position as the flow of water into the cooler begins to increase, and then secure it onto the base. Once secure, you will begin to see water flowing from the bottle to the tank.

HOW TO OPERATE

WARNING: This unit is intended for water dispensing only. Do NOT use other liquids. Do NOT use for other purposes. Warranty is void if used with any other liquids such as coffee, tea, juices, beer or wine.

This dispenser has been designed to use water bottles with a 3 or 5 gallon capacity. Do NOT use alternative bottles.

DISPENSING COLD WATER

1. Press the cold water button on the panel to start making the cold water. After this, the cold water indicator light will start to blink, meaning the compressor has started to cool the water.

3. Place bottle, glass, or pitcher below the cold water tap.
4. Push the cold water dispenser to start dispensing water.
5. Release the button once desired fill level is achieved.

NOTE: After some while or after you drain out the cold water from the cold water faucet, the Cold Water indicator will blink again, meaning it's cooling again. Cold Water function and Ice-making function can work together.
