Crystal Mountain Blizzard User manual

THANK YOU FOR BUYING A CRYSTAL MOUNTAIN WATER COOLER!
Blizzard POU (Plumbed-In) Water Cooler
RECEIVING
Inspect the cooler box immediately and carefully for any evidence of shipping or handling damage
before signing to receive goods. In case of shipping damages, claims should be filed immediately
with the carrier. Please note that the carrier will not accept claims for any damage discovered after
signing for UNINSPECTED GOODS.
Ensure the cooler stands upright for 24 hours before plugging it in.
INSTALLATION
Installation should only be executed by properly trained personnel. Check and comply with all
national and local regulations regarding mains water access. The connection must be to the potable
mains water supply and should be via a shutoff valve. An appropriate a leak detector and shutoff
valve device should be fitted as closely as possible to the mains connection point. The use of a
backflow preventer or check valve may be required. Check with your local plumbing inspector to
ensure proper installation.
Failure to use an appropriate leak detector and shutoff valve device for any reason will not obligate or
make Crystal Mountain responsible in any way for Product Liability issues relating to any claims,
including water damage claims.
A shutoff valve should be used so that water can be shut off to isolate the unit with minimal
inconvenience.
The Shock Arrestor, if included on the unit, must be tested annually to ensure that it is functioning properly.
System requirements
Water inlet pressure:
• Minimum 20 PSI (0.138 MPa)
• Maximum 80 PSI (0.552 MPa)
• Usage of a pressure regulator is advised anytime that pressure can reach higher than 80 PSI
(0.552Mpa) or if unit is installed above the ground floor.
Carefully lay the box on one side and undo the bottom box flaps.
Ensure the bottom flaps are folded open when you return the unit to the upright position.
Caution: Please note that the unit should not be laid flat for more than a few seconds.
To unpack the unit, undo the top flaps of the box and remove the gooseneck faucet spout, waste seal
ring (spare part) and any documentation from the storage location in the top insert.
Open the top insert, remove the power cord. Lift the box over the unit to remove.
Remove all packaging material and recycle or dispose of as appropriate.
Remove the plastic pipe, set up the gooseneck faucet spout. Please note: keep water outlet facing
towards the inside top of cooler to avoid water dripping to floor. Take the unit to the chosen location.
Ensure that waste pipe is in the correct location to fit to the waste fitting at the rear of the machine if
using the plumbed-in drain feature. Thoroughly flush the water supply line with potable water.
Connect the flexible water supply pipe to the water inlet position at the rear of the water cooler.
The cooler is to be filled completely and rinsed through with potable water. Turn on the water supply and
allow the system to fill. Ensure a good steady flow from each faucet by depressing the button or the handle
one at a time. Ensure pressure on each tap separately to allow air to escape from the reservoir. Care must be
taken so as not to trip the leak detector and shutoff valve device by allowing 5 seconds between each
continuous draw of 3 litres. (check specifications of the a leak detector and shutoff valve device you
employ to confirm these #'s)

Turn off the water supply and disconnect it from the water dispenser. Remove the cold tank drain cap to drain
the cold system. When the flow stops, replace the cold tank drain cap.
Reposition the water cooler to complete installation. Connect the waste system if plumbing it in.
Reconnect the water supply line, ensuring the leak detector and shutoff valve device is as near to the
water supply point as possible, in correct sequence with any pressure reducing valve (also
recommended for excellence and safety in installations).
Draw at least 3 litres of water from each faucet to dispel all air from the system; taking care - as
before - not to trip the leak detector and shutoff valve device.
Ensure that the available power supply matches the cooler's voltage specifications indicated on the
nameplate label (located at the rear). Plug power supply cord into receptacle. Please ensure that
cooler is set up so as access to the power outlet and plug is unobstructed.
Note: To provide additional protection from the risk of shock, this unit MUST be connected to a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet at all times. Use of an extension cord will void any
warranties.
Allow the water cooler to reach normal operating temperature.
Dry off any water spillages. Record the date of installation, devices installed and serial number of
the water cooler in the appropriate document(s). A photograph of the final installation is useful for
possible future insurance purposes.
While we manufacture our products in the most hygienic/sanitary way possible, we do
recommend cleaning and sanitization prior to first usage.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Water Leaks
• If water dripping from system, shut off mains water supply valve, open dispensing valve to release
pressure from the water lines and verify tubing is connected properly
• If water continues to leak, unplug dispenser, shut off mains water supply and call 1-800-878-6422
(North America sales) or [phone](UK/Europe sales) for assistance
• As part of good practice, tubing should be inspected regularly. If there is any evidence of damage,
hardening or cracking it should be replaced immediately
Water Not Dispensing
