Frequently Asked Questions - RM/431 Ramtons

How do I set up the water dispenser after purchase?

Let the dispenser stand upright for at least 2 hours before plugging in. Then flush the reservoir with tap water by filling the tank, waiting 5 minutes, and draining through the hot water faucet. Repeat if necessary. Finally, plug in and wait for hot water to heat (about 10 minutes) and cold water to cool (about 40 minutes).

What should I do if no water comes out of the hot water faucet?

Ensure the bottle is properly placed and the water guard is punctured. Press the hot water button until water flows. If still no water, check if the bottle is empty or the tank needs refilling.

Why is the hot water not hot enough?

Make sure the heating switch on the back is turned on. The red LED should be on when heating. If it's off after a while, the water has reached temperature (85-95°C). If not heating, the thermostat or heater may need servicing.

Why is the cold water not cold enough?

Check that the cooling switch on the back is on. The green LED indicates cooling. Ensure there is at least 2 inches of space behind the dispenser for air circulation. If the room temperature is very high, cooling may be less effective.

How do I clean the water dispenser?

Unplug the dispenser. Wipe the exterior with a soft damp cloth. For the interior, drain all water and clean with a solution of 2% citric acid for the hot tank. Do not use detergents or spray water directly on the unit.

What does the 'STER.' indicator mean?

The 'STER.' indicator is for models with a sterilizing cabinet. It shows when the O₃ sterilizer or timer is active. Refer to the specific model's instructions for operation.

Can I use the dispenser if the heating function is off?

Yes, you can use only the cold water function by keeping the heating switch off. The cold water will still cool as long as the cooling switch is on.

How do I drain the water dispenser for storage?

Unplug the unit, turn off the hot water, and drain water from the faucets. Then open the drain valve (cap on the back) to empty the hot tank. Tighten the cap after draining.

Why does the compressor turn on and off frequently?

This may be normal if the room temperature is high or the dispenser is too close to the wall. Ensure 2 inches of clearance. If the problem persists, the condenser may be dirty; clean it with a soft cloth.

What should I do if the dispenser leaks?

Check the water bottle for cracks or holes. Ensure the water guard seal is intact. Also check the backside drainage hole cap is tight. If leaking continues, contact service center.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using your appliance,please follow these basic instructions.

● 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 store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this orany other water dispenser. The fumes can create a fire hazard of explosion.

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. The unit is provided with four plastic feet. If it does not sit level on the floor, adjust the front feet to level the unit well to the floor.
• 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 2 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 products service center.
  ● This water dispenser is not recommended for outdoor usage.
• Do not locate the dispenser in the area where the temperature may fall below freezing point (0°C or 32°F).
• Keep area around dispenser free of dust and dirt.
• Keep the reserve supply of water bottles away from excessive heat and light.

PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.
• Check and make sure the backside hot water drainage hole cap is not leaked or broken.
• 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. Wait for 5 minutes until water settles.
  ● Push the hot water faucet until water comes out, then stop the faucet.
• Plug the dispenser into the electrical outlet. We are ready to complete the first cycle. In order to do that, wait for the hot water to reach temperature in approximately 10 minutes, and then wait for the cold water to reach temperature in other 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 backside hot water drainage hole cap, until all water drains completely. After that, screw up the cap tightly.
  ● Put the bottled purified or other dean water on the top cover one minute.
  ● Push water faucet buttons to insure water flows from both faucets.
• Plug dispenser again 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, except turn hot water function “OFF” to avoid leaving residues in hot water tank.

OPERATION

WITH STERILIZING CABINET

WITH REFRIGERATING CABINET

- Ambient temperature: 10 \~ 42°C

● Atmosphere 86 \~ 106kpa

- When using the bottles holding ultra-pure water, distilled water or space water with the so-called clever lid, tear off the hygienic label on the lid, place the bottles at the intake, then the core of water guard will automatically open the valve and seal it in the meantime, when moving the bottles, the valve will also seal automatically to avoid any possible oozing.

- Push the hot water faucet, bubbles are generated inside the bottle, indicating that water is flowing into hot water and cold water tanks, keep pressing the hot water valve until water flows out, dispensing cold water required need no particular adjustment.

- Do not connect the electrical power plug, until water comes out of the hot water faucet.

- After plug, the yellow LED indicator will be on indicating the power is "ON".

- Turn on the heating switch, the red LED indicator will be on and the heating system starts working. When the hot water comes up to 85-95°C or so, the red light goes off, the heating system stops working. The machine turns to the warm-keeping status. When the hot water temperature is lower than 80°C, the heating system will resume working automatically.

- Turn on the cooling switch, the green LED indicator will be on and the cooling system starts working. When the cold water falls down to 5-10°C, the green light goes off, the cooling system stops working. The machine turns to the cold-keeping status. When the cold water temperature goes up to a set degree, the cooling system will resume working automatically.

- Since the temperature has already been adjusted before leaving the factory, it is unnecessary for customers to set the temperature.

● Turn the heating and cooling switches on. Then the heating and cooling processes start

working together.

• If the device is not applied for a long time, after the hot water cools down, please remove the power plug and revolve the drain cap to drain the rest water in the hot tank then tighten the cap. Open the cold water faucet to drain the rest water in the cold tank.
• If there is no water flowing from cooling faucet, please shut down the cooling switch until there is water flowing out.
