Installaon and Maintenance Manual
Operang Environment
O Install the machine in a clean, dry, well-venlated room. It is designed to funcon correctly in environments
with a temperature of 16°C to 32°C – Climac Class N, (between 61°F and 90°F).
O Check that the water cooler is level, that it is on a surface that can support its weight and in an environment
suitable for its size and use.
O Do not place the machine near a source of heat.
O To guarantee adequate venlaon, leave at least 4" (100 mm) of space around the unit.
O Take care not to damage the cooling uid circuit. It is essenal to ensure that the tubes of the refrigerant
circuit are not damaged.
O The unit is not intended for use by children.
O Keep the areas surrounding the unit dry to avoid the risk of people slipping.
O The unit must not be cleaned with a water jet.
Water
O Always connect the water cooler to a water main that supplies drinking water only.
O Use of 3/8" diameter connecons is recommended.
O Turn o the main water inlet tap if the unit is not to be used for a long period.
Electrical
O Check that the voltage shown on the serial number plate corresponds to the voltage being
supplied at the installaon site.
O Do not use extension cables or mulple-power sockets. The machine must be located
close enough to a standard power socket that the supplied power cable reaches without
stretching.
O Aer installaon, check that the machine is not standing on its power supply cable.
O Ensure that it is possible to disconnect the power supply either by removing the plug or via a two-pole circuit
breaker placed upstream of the plug.
O Before any maintenance or cleaning operaon is carried out, remove the plug from the socket or disconnect
the power supply.
O If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, by its technical support service or by
a qualied technician.
O Do not posion other electrical equipment in the immediate vicinity of the water cooler.
