3.3 Limpieza inicial
Before first use, wipe the exterior of the dispenser with a soft, damp cloth. Clean the drip tray and grid with mild soap and water. It is recommended to flush the internal tanks before first use (see Section 5.2 for draining instructions).
3.4 Instalación de la botella de agua
- Remove the protective seal from a standard 19-liter (5-gallon) water bottle.
- Carefully lift the water bottle and place it upright onto the water bottle support on top of the dispenser. Ensure the bottle is seated firmly and correctly. The bottle's cap will be pushed in, allowing water to flow into the dispenser's reservoirs.
3.5 Conexión de alimentación
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Allow the dispenser to stand for at least 30 minutes before turning on the heating and cooling functions. This allows the compressor lubricant to settle.
3.6 First Dispense
After plugging in and installing the water bottle, dispense at least 1 liter (approximately 4 cups) of water from each tap (hot, cold, and room temperature) to ensure the tanks are filled and to flush any air from the system. Do not activate the heating or cooling switches until water has been dispensed from all taps.
