7.
To install the carbon filtration system, cut the blue tube which is looped in the filter compartment. Cut it so you have
enough tubing to connect your filter inlet and outlet without making the tubes too tight.
8.
Connect your filters and turn on water to flush filter(s) per the manufacturer’s instructions.
9.
Check for leaks. The filters are after the reservoir float valve, so if no water flows, make sure the safety float hasn’t
tripped.
REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTRATION INSTALLATION
10.
Connect your brine line, with flow restrictor, to the elbow on the purple (alternatively red) tubing.
11.
If your supply water has a lot of sediment, you may wish to put a sediment filter before the reservoir float valve. To do
so, cut the white tubing and connect your filter in-line.
12.
Depending on your system, any pre-carbon filter can be placed in-line on the white tube or the blue. The RO membrane
must be connected to the blue tubing to work properly. The post carbon would also be on that line (see figure 4).
Follow these steps when first using your water cooler and during normal maintenance operations:
IMPORTANT: Do not
plug in the cooler until you have filled the reservoir.
1.
Upon taking your cooler out of the box, follow the steps in the section titled “CLEANING YOUR WATER
RESERVOIR" on page 9. The baffle is shipped in a bag located in the filter compartment. Install it in the reservoir
after cleaning the reservoir and baffle. Your last step during this first cleaning will be step 21, “Put the side panel back
on, then place the cabinet top on and tighten the screws so they are snug.” After you clean and rinse the cooler, you are
ready to connect it to your water supply. NOTE: If you have a leak controller installed on the unit, the water supply
line should be connected directly to it. This will shut the water off as close to the water supply valve as possible in the
event of a water leak in the cooler.
2.
If you wish to install a filter in the cooler, see the section labeled “FILTER INSTALLATION” starting on page 4.
3.
Turn on water supply to the cooler.
4.
Check to see that water flows easily from all taps (see hot water safety instructions on page 2).
IMPORTANT: You
must wait until water has filled the hot tank before plugging in the cooler to avoid overheating.
You can check for
this by pressing the hot water dispense button until water flows out of the spout.
5.
As the cooler fills, check for leaks.
6.
Plug the cooler into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
The POU2LR cooler does not have an LCD display so it uses mechanical controls for the heating and cooling of the water.
You can access the cold control and hot tank switch through the column support after the door is removed. See the section on
servicing the cooler on page 11 for directions on removing the door, getting to the cold control to replace it, etc. Set the cold
control where you want it by using a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the thermostat knob. Turn the knob clockwise for
colder water, and counter-clockwise for less cold. The factory setting is in the full cold position. The hot tank does not have
an adjustable control.
Note: The rest of this first use section only applies to coolers with an LCD display.
1.
Upon plugging the cooler in, nothing is displayed on the control panel. The hot tank and the compressor are not
operating.
2.
Press the “POWER” button on the cooler display (see figure 5), the clock will flash 12:00 AM.
