Commissioning & Safe Usage
 Ensure that the fountain is connected to a potable mains water supply
and that Water Regulation Standards are met when connecting to the
mains.
 The AA Installation Rail meets Water Regulation Standards and contains
all necessary components to connect a fountain to the mains

6
 Water Regulations require that the mains connection point includes a
non return valve with isolating tap, to avoid back flushing of water from
the fountain into the mains
 Connect the supplied waste trap to a waste outlet
 Leave a 50cm gap all around the fountain to provide good ventilation
 Install the fountain on a flat surface to avoid vibration and noise
 Install away from a heat source which could affect the unit’s cooling
capacity
 Avoid freezing conditions which could rupture the pipes
 Never tilt the unit over 45 degrees when carrying or storing
 Wait for an hour after transport before installing to allow the coolant to
settle
 Fill water reservoir with water before the unit is powered up to avoid
damage to the refrigeration element
 Always turn the electricity off before removing any panels
 Always turn the water off at nearest stop cock before working on the
fountain
 When not in use for an extended period: Turn the mains water and power
off
 Sanitise the fountain before first use and follow the sanitising instructions
 Before switching the power on, purge any air in the system by discharging
water from the taps. This also ensures that the cold water tank is filled
with water
 Check all water connections for leakage and ensure that all electrical
connections are safe, before commissioning the fountain
 Model WFP9T: To fix the swan-neck you need a 2mm allen key (supplied
with the fountain).
Installation
Requirements
It is preferable no to put the fountain in places where the sunlight can affect
it directly or near heat machines, like heaters, radiators, boilers, etc.

7
Do not install the cooler in places where the water can enter horizontally
towards the cooling unit or below it.(for example near sprinklers
or irrigation systems)
Separate the water cooler at least 5-10 cm from the wall.
We recommend using copper pipes when connecting to the mains water.
LDPE food grade 1/4" plastic tubing can also be used.
Before connect the drinking fountain let the water flow from the pipe until it
becomes crystalline in order to drain the water net.
Pay attention water pressure for installation (minimum and maximum)
page 5.
We recommend the installation of a safety valve water shut off to prevent a
water leakage due to exceptional causes.
Connections
Drain connection
Connect the 30 mm (1.2”) diameter wasted water outlet to the waste water
line. The waste line must be under the water receptor.
Electric connection
See Warnings related to the electrical connection page 5.
Electrical safety
All electrical connections should be checked at installation
 Check the flex cable for any visible damage and ensure that the
fountain is not Installed on top of the cable
IMPORTANT:
Check that the power supply is the same as the one indicated on the
side of the fountain.
IMPORTANT:
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with
flammable propellant in this appliance.

8
 Fountains should be PAT tested by the Distributor if the equipment has
been removed by him from a site and before re-installing it at another
site. The user should PAT test the equipment annually.
Water connections
 Always turn the electricity off before removing any panel
 Always turn the water off at the nearest stop cock before working on the
fountain
 When not in use for an extended period, turn the mains water and power
off. If it is left unused for less than 2 weeks, flush 5 litres of the fresh water
through the tap. If left unused for longer, sanitise the fountain
 It is recommended that all water connections are checked as part of the
regular routine maintenance
Water temperature control on WFT6 and WFP9T
The digital thermostat is at the back of the Fountain.
The temperature shown on the screen is the approximate temperature at
the water outlet.
To change the temperature, take the following steps.
1. Press the S button for three seconds until the screen shows F1.
2. Press S again to show the temperature.
3. To increase the temperature, press S and simultaneously arrow
up until you reach the desired temperature.
4. To lower the temperature again, press S and press the down
arrow until you reach the desired temperature. IMPORTANT: the
temperature must always be higher than 4C, otherwise it may
affect the functioning of the fountain.
IMPORTANT: do not modify any other parameters, other than F1 as they
may affect the correct operation of the fountain.
Consult your authorized distributor in case of any doubt or if you make
any mistake.

Maintenance
Empty the internal water tank.
1. Close the water inlet valve. Unplug from power supply.
2. Disconnect the drinking fountain from the water inlet allowing
the water to come out.
3. Push the button/pedal/tap or operate the sensor until the water
stops to flow.
4. Plug to power supply.
Recommendations for cleaning and disinfection
Please read the following instructions before sanitising the fountain:
 Switch the power off
 Turn the mains water off
 Empty the water tank by allowing the water to drain out of the taps
 Remove the filter and replace with an empty AA First filter housing
 Pour the sanitising fluid into the empty filter housing
 Turn the mains water back on
 Open the taps to flush the sanitising liquid into the water tank and
pipes
 Leave standing for 10 minutes and then flush through with water to
remove all traces of the sanitising solution
 Sanitise in strict accordance with WHA (Water Dispenser & Hydration
Association https://twha.co.uk) guidelines using only tested and
therefore endorsed sanitising product
Hygiene
Water is our most important FOOD and water fountains must be
maintained in a hygienic condition. The Water Cooler Associations (WHA)
demands that all makes and types of fountain must be regularly sanitised,
using approved sanitising solutions/techniques.
1. Fountains must be sanitised and the filter exchanged every 6 months
2. All fountains should be sanitised prior to commissioning
IMPORTANT:
To clean the stainless steel use only water or glass cleaner.
Do not use other products, such as bleach, which could damage the
surface.
Never use abrasive products to clean the fountain or rags or materials that
may scratch the stainless steel. Never clean the fountain with pressurised
water.

3. Sanitising should be in accordance with the WHA (Water Dispenser &
Hydration Association, https://twha.co.uk) guidelines
Drinking fountains out of order
If the drinking fountain has been unplugged from the electric supply
during many days (e.g. during holidays) it is recommended to empty the
internal tank as described in previous section, removing the existing water
which could has been corrupted due to the lack of cold.
After sales service
Please contact your authorized reseller for a correct maintenance of the
drinking fountains.
Problems
The water doesn’t flow when operating the tap.
 Check if the power is turned on
 Check the drinking fountain is connected to the water main, and the
water pressure is enough (2 bar. minimum) and that the water tap is
turned full on.
 If the water is not cold enough, has too much cold water been
consumed and the fountain has not had enough time to recover
 The filter is blocked and needs replacing
 Check the Thermostat setting
 If all previous points have been checked it may be that the water has
gotten frozen in the internal tank. Unplug the fountain during at least
one day in order to allow to thaw. Turn the thermostat dial in order to
reduce the cooling temperature.
The water in the receptor doesn’t drain
 Check there isn’t any obstruction in the drainage water line.
 Check that any object does not obstruct the fountain top plate, trap or
drain.

11
Noise and vibration
 The cooler stands on an uneven surface
Leaking
 Check water connection from the mains
 Check for internal leaks due to burst connection
