OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once setup is completed, tanks are filled and water is flowing steadily, your unit is ready to use!
1.Close the lid and plug unit into outlet.
2.Press the On/Off power switch on the control panel to turn on. The BLUE light around the power switch indicates the unit is on and cooling and heating functions are activated.
3.After about 15 minutes, the RED hot water indicator will light up, signaling hot water is ready to dispense.
Initiating Energy Saver Mode
You can turn off the heater used to heat the water in the hot tank to reduce the system's energy usage by more than 50%. While in Energy Saver mode, you can still dispense water from your hot tank; however, it will not
be heated.
NOTE: We recommend you power your unit off when only room temperature filtered water
is needed.
1.Put the Energy Saver switch in its On position.
2.The green LED will light up, indicating your unit is in Energy Saver mode.
3.Because your unit is in Energy Saver mode and your hot water heater is disabled, the red LED hot water indicator light will turn off when the temperature of the hot water decreases (this can take up to 2 hours).
4.To resume your hot water, simply put the Energy Saver switch in its Off position. After about 15 minutes, the red LED hot water indicator will light up, signaling hot water is ready to dispense.
NOTE: If your unit has been in Energy Saver mode for longer than a week, we recommend you flush out your hot water tank by dispensing and disposing of a full glass of water from the left spigot before enjoying your first glass of hot water.
