Benefits:
The drip tray is the most unsanitary part of a water cooler. Water is constantly collecting in the drip
tray and most people do not empty or clean the drip tray unless it is full. This can lead to unwanted
bacteria and viruses building up in the drip tray. The dispensing area and spout can also be areas of
unwanted bacteria growth. These bacteria or viruses can easily spread to drinking cups or other parts
of the cooler. The press buttons are touched by so many people and can lead to bacteria growth as
well. With our anti-microbial coating, you can be assured that the drip tray, dispensing area, spout,
and press buttons all remain bacteria free all the time.
• Certain parts of the water cooler, such as the drip tray, dispensing area, spout, press
buttons or press paddles have been treated with a unique anti-microbial coating using the
BioGuard technology.
• This BioGuard technology is injected into the ABS material through a complex technique during
the injection molding process creating an anti-microbial coating which has been tested to prevent
bacteria such as Escherichia coli from forming on its surface.
• Unlike many other anti-bacterial coatings, BioGuard will not be aected by heat. It will not aect
the strength of the given plastic. It will also not cause the plastic material to become discolored
over time.
• This technology has been tested to be safe and non-toxic according to EPA standards.
• This technology will prevent viruses from remaining on the treated surfaces.
How It Works:
BioGuard is a soluble glass containing anti-microbial metal ions.
Glass is generally considered to be a material with high chemical inertness due to its strong network
structure. It is possible though, to lower this chemical inertness by continuously altering its structure.
Glass also has another interesting property which retains metal as ions. We have combined this
property along with our unique anti-microbial technology enabling the glass to have a low chemical
inertness by retaining anti-microbial metal ions. With the presence of water or moisture, the glass
with BioGuard will release metal ions gradually to function as anti-microbial material. This happens
as Ag ions with positive charges are drawn toward microbes with negative charge and disturb their
electrical balance causing their cell wall to burst and extinguish. It also can cause the Ag ions to
bond to microbes inhibiting the enzyme activity and multiplication of microbes causing them to be
destroyed.

Unpacking your Avalon Water Cooler
The unit has been cleaned prior to departing from the factory. To remove any
dust and debris that may collect during shipping we recommend cleaning the
unit prior to installation. For cleaning instructions, see pages 20-25.
Do NOT plug in the power cord yet.
Place dispenser upright on a hard and level surface in a cool and shaded
location near a grounded wall outlet. Position the dispenser so there is about four
inches of clearance from the wall on the back and both sides.
Unpack the machine, open the cabinet to remove the drip tray, and install it by
inserting it into place at the top of the cabinet door, see page 11.

Installing and Removing the Drip Tray
1. To install the drip tray, simply slide
it into the area at the top of the door
until it snaps into place.
2. To remove the drip tray, place your
fingers in the grid of the drip tray with
one hand and hold the door of the
cooler shut with the other.
3. Gently pull the drip tray toward
you to release it. Once it has been
released you can remove the drip
tray from the door of the cooler to
empty it.
No external drain is needed, the overflow will collect here. The red float will rise to
indicate when the drip tray needs to be emptied.

Powering the Dispenser
Plug cord into a properly grounded wall outlet. At this time the pump will begin to
move water from the bottle to the hot and cold tanks. It will take up to 12 minutes to
fill the tanks for the first time. During this period the pump will run continuously. This
is normal.
