21)Plug the service cord back into the grounded fused outlet and turn on the water supply.
22)Allow the unit to fill the reservoir half full.
23)Open the hot faucet and draw water from the faucet until it flows freely.
24)Draw at least one (1) quart (1 liter) of water from each faucet.
25)Turn the hot tank switch on (toward the “RESET” position).
26)Replace the top of the cabinetry.
Your hot tank should now be clean. If the flow of water or the noisy cycles have not been improved, you should have the unit repaired at an authorized service center. Cleaning the unit in this manner will not only make the unit run more efficiently, but will make the water taste better.
D)CABINET CLEANING SUGGESTIONS
There is no maintenance required on the polycarbonate plastic cabinetry. Only regular cleaning with some common household cleaners is all that is necessary to remove dirt and grime from the polycarbonate cabinet.
Cleaners such as mild soap, Fantastic®, Windex®, Joy®, and Top Job® can be used.
The drip tray is dishwasher safe.
Abrasive cleaners are not recommended because of the potential for scratching.
Flammable cleaners should not be used because of health and safety reasons.
E)OPERATING FEATURES
1)Overload Protection
The compressor motor is equipped with an automatic reset protector which will disconnect the motor from the line in case of an overload.
2)Safety Float
The cooler is designed with a safety mechanism to prevent overfilling. In case the primary fill float fails, a second float is activated as the water level rises. This float shuts off the water to the reservoir (NOTE: A hard impact or jarring of the unit while it is filling may trip the safety float). To restart water flow, press the blue reset button about half way down on the reservoir lid until the pressure on the safety float is released.
3)Water Quality Monitor - Smartap® Versions
The water cooler may be equipped with a Smartap® water quality monitor. This is a dual probe monitor that compares the feed water to the product water as a percentage. The circuit is preset at the factory to indicate membrane performance when the test button is pushed. Either the green “good” light will illuminate indicating above 70% TDS reduction or the

yellow “service” light will illuminate indicating below 70% TDS reduction. This patented, solid state electronic circuit does not require service.
4)Safer Faucets
This water cooler incorporates the “safer faucet” for hot water dispensing. This deters accidental dispensing of hot water.
5)Temperature Control
Both the hot tank and the cold reservoir have temperature controls which can be adjusted with a small bladed screwdriver. The cold control can be turned clockwise for cooler water and counterclockwise for warmer water in quarter turn adjustments.
F)TROUBLE-SHOOTING
1)NO WATER IS FLOWING:
Make sure all stop valves to unit are open and water is flowing freely. Water flow rate through filter system is approximately 0.4 GPM (1.5LPM).* RO flow rate will be based on the membrane capacity. Standard flow is 15 GPD (56.5 LPD)** at optimum conditions. Remove cooler top and make sure safety float hasn’t tripped by resetting it. To reset safety float, press the blue reset button about half way down on the reservoir lid. Check the
2)SMARTAP® INDICATES “SERVICE”:
Test the quality of water only while the unit is producing water. Draw 1 quart of water from the cook faucet wait 5 minutes and retest the water. If it still indicates “Service”, check the TDS of the source water to the TDS of the product water. The membrane may need to be changed if the rejection of TDS is less than 70%.
3)NO HOT WATER:
Check to see if the switch for the hot tank has been turned on. The switch is located on the column support behind the access door. The rocker switch should be depressed toward the “RESET” position. If the switch is in the “ON” position and there is no hot water, it is possible the circuit needs to be reset. Press the rocker switch to the “OFF position, then back to the “RESET” position.
