WATER COOLER MODELS
POUE1SK, POUE1SHS, POUD1SK, POUD1SHS INSTRUCTIONS
A.
INSPECTION
Inspect the carton and water cooler for evidence of rough handling and concealed damage. Damage claims should be filed with the carrier.
B.
MAINTENANCE
1.
Inspect the condenser for dirt and lint every three months. If cleaning is required, disconnect the power supply cord, then clean the condenser with a small
stiff non-wire brush. Observance of this procedure will ensure adequate air circulation through the condenser for efficient and economical operation.
2.
A cone shaped strainer can be found in the tube leading into the mechanical float valve on the reservoir cap. It can be removed and flushed clean. Be sure to
replace it in the tube once cleaned.
C.
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.
D.
LUBRICATION
This unit is equipped with a hermetically sealed compressor, which does not require any additional lubrication.
E.
HOT TANK THERMOSTATS
ON HOT MODELS, THE HOT TANK THERMOSTATS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO OPERATE WET. AN ELECTRICAL FAULT MAY OCCUR IF THE
THERMOSTATS ARE WETTED.
1.
Do not steam or wet clean in the thermostat area.
2.
All minor water spills must be wiped up immediately after installing or removing the mechanical float lid assembly onto the cooler.
3.
Where major water spills or leaks have occurred (internal components have gotten wet), do not operate the hot tank until it is assured that the thermostats
have had a chance to dry out (a 48 hour period is sufficient) or that the thermostat(s) have been replaced.
F.
TO PUT WATER COOLER INTO SERVICE
1.
The water cooler should be located a minimum of 2" (51mm) from the wall to assure adequate condenser air circulation.
2.
If filter(s) are to be added, follow filter manufacturer’s recommended instructions.
3.
Connect blue tube to cold water supply line at the back of the cooler.
4.
WARNING: A pressure regulator, such as a Slow Flow regulator, must be installed in front of the unit’s water inlet if the water pressure
(including any possible pressure spikes) could exceed 100psig (690kpg).
5.
Turn on water supply to cooler.
6.
Check the available power supply against the water cooler data plate to assure correct electrical service. Plug power supply cord into receptacle.
7.
CAUTION: On models with a hot tank, the hot tank switch must be in the “OFF” position. Switch is mounted at the rear of the cooler on the
condenser.
8.
After the reservoir is full, check all connections for leaks.
9.
Open each faucet until water flows freely.
10.
On models with a hot tank, turn on the hot tank by depressing the switch toward the “RESET” position.
11.
CAUTION: Failure to fill hot tank with water before turning on the hot tank can cause physical damage to the unit.
12.
CAUTION: WATER FROM HOT FAUCET CAN SCALD.
G.
SAFETY FLOAT
The cooler is equipped with a safety float to prevent overfilling in case the fill float fails. If the fill float should fail, the safety float will be activated as the water
level rises. When the safety float is activated, water flow to the reservoir will be shut off. Press the blue reset button about half way down on the reservoir cap
until you hear the water flow restart, then call your service representative.
CAUTION: A hard impact or jarring of the unit while it is filling may trip the
safety float.
H.
TO DISCONTINUE USE OF WATER COOLER
1.
On models with a hot tank, place hot tank switch in the “OFF” position. Draw water from hot faucet until water is cool.
2.
Disconnect power supply cord.
3.
Shut off water supply to cooler.
4.
Drain reservoir through cold faucet.
5.
On models with a hot tank, drain tank by placing a container under black drain valve located on the condenser. Turn drain valve counter clockwise to open,
and catch water in container. OR, for convenience, insert one end of a 3/8” OD tube into the opening of the drain valve and the other into a container and
drain. Close drain valve when the tank is empty.
6.
ALWAYS DRAIN ALL WATER WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED OR BEFORE SHIPPING THE WATER COOLER.
J.
SANITIZING INSTRUCTIONS
If sanitizing is required, a solution can be made by adding ½ teaspoonful of household bleach to one (1) gallon of water or 2 ml of household bleach to 3 L of
water.
DO NOT
use a stronger sanitizing solution. Wash the cooling tank and baffle in the solution. Rinse immediately.
DO NOT
allow sanitizing solution to
remain in the cooling tank more than 5 minutes. On hot models,
DO NOT
allow sanitizing solution to enter hot tank; plug inlet to hot tank. Dispense solution
through cold faucet and cook faucet if so equipped. Rinse through faucet(s) with clean water. Remove plug from hot tank water inlet. Drain hot tank and flush
with clean water.
K.
ALTERNATE FAUCETS
A safer faucet that deters accidental dispensing of water by toddlers is available. This new faucet is simple and easy to use with one hand yet it adds a new
measure of protection to your water cooler. See your dealer for details.
