Important Safety Instructions
?WARNING?To reduce the risk of burns,fire, electrical
shock, or injury when using your appliance,
follow these basic precautions:
?Read all instructions before using the water dispenser.
?Never clean parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
?Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other water dispenser. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion
?Do not plug unit into receptacle until you ensure the water tank switches are off.
-Save these instructions-
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
?Remove the exterior and interior packing.
?Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the dispenser when it is fully
loaded. If it does not sit level on the floor, adjust the front right foot to level the unit well to the
floor. Note: Only the front right foot is adjustable.
?Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform
properly.
?Allow 2 inches of space between the water dispenser and the wall, which allows for proper air
circulation to cool the compressor.
?Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized Avanti Products service center.
?This water dispenser is not recommended for outdoor use.
?Do not locate the dispenser in area where the temperature may fall below freezing (32º F).
?Keep area around dispenser free of dust and dirt.
?Keep the reserve supply of water bottles away from excessive heat and light.
?Never unplug the water cooler, except for maintenance.
Height Adjustment
?Unit is provided with four feet extensions, if you wish to make the unit taller, just attach all four
parts to the bottom feet by placing them on existing feet and pushing firmly to ensure a tight fit.
Unit will be slightly taller. The adjustable foot can still be used for leveling after the extension

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Before Using Your Water Dispenser
?Check to be sure the following parts are included:
?Instruction manual
?4extra cup dispenser cabinet plugs
?Accessories order form.
?4height adjustment foot extensions
?Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
?The water dispenser is pre-cleaned at the factory but the reservoir and water lines must
be flushed with fresh water before use as follows:
?Keep the unit unplugged.
?Fill water tank with tap water full to capacity (more than 3/4 of a gallon).Wait for 5
minutes until water settles.
?Press the hot water faucet until water comes out, then stop.
?Plug the dispenser into the electrical outlet. Both heating and cooling indicator lights on
front will light up at first. We are ready to complete the first cycle. In order to do that,
wait for the hot water indicator light to go off first (approximately 10 minutes), then wait
for the cold water indicator light to go off (another 40 minutes, approximately).
?Unplug the dispenser from the electrical outlet. Proceed to drain the water from the
faucets one at a time until no more water remains.
(Note: To facilitate this operation, use a large container).
?Then, drain any water left in the tanks by opening the drain plug located on the back,
until it drains completely.
?Proceed to close the drain cap.
?Place the 5-gallon bottle of water on the water intake, allow water to stand for
approximately one minute.
?Open water faucets to insure water flows from both faucets.
?Plug dispenser into the electrical outlet.
?Now you are ready to use your water dispenser.
NOTE: Your water dispenser has been cleaned and sanitized before leaving the
factory, but in case a taste problem develops, place two tablespoons of
baking soda and add tap water. Fill water tank again and repeat basic
operations previously outlined, except turn the switch marked HOT “OFF” to
avoid leaving residues in hot water tank.
ATTENTION:
If you do not plan to use the water heating function for more than three days, we
recommend that you turn the HOT switch to the “OFF” position.
