a. insPeCtion
Inspect the carton and water cooler for evidence of rough handling and concealed damage. Damage claims should be filed with carrier.
B. to Put Water Cooler anD Fountain into serViCe
1. NOTE: The following states require a licensed plumber to install cooler; AR, GA, MA, MI, OK, RI, SC, SD, TX, VT and WI. CA, KS, MN, NM and
OR allow for a state, registered installer or contractor as well. State and local plumbing codes may prohibit use of saddle taping valves for
water line connection in some applications. All connections must conform to applicable plumbing codes.
2. Locate and install plumbing and electrical service if required, in accordance with the Roughing-in Drawing. Filter units have additional
instructions on a label inside the access panel. Read these before installing unit.
3. FLUSH BUILDING WATER SUPPLY LINE BEFORE INSTALLING UNIT.
4. Install unit on the wall hanger. Wall hanger is shipped fastened to the back of the unit.
5. Install a trap in the waste line and a shut off valve in the water supply line. An in-line strainer is furnished in the “Water Supply” tube.
Connect the “Water Supply” tube to the shut off valve. This connection should not be a solder joint or flare connection to allow access to the
strainer for service. To ease removal of the strainer, a sheet metal screw may be lightly threaded into the open end. When the unit has an
internal waste trap, the trap should be wrapped with the insulating tape to prevent sweating. Use of the 1 3/4" diameter knockout for a waste
line is not recommended because of a potential conflict with ADA* toe spaceclearance requirements. Check your local building code
inspector for approval.
6. Rotate the fan blade by hand to see that it is free of obstructions.
7. Check the available power supply against the water cooler data plate to assure the correct electrical service. Plug power supply cord
into wall outlet. The rear most 1 3/8" diameter knockout in the frame bottom is for an externally located electrical supply. Make sure the
knockout hold edge is smooth and free of any burrs. Use of a Heyco bushing #2184 in the knocked out hole is recommended in order to
prevent damage to the service cord and to close up excess opening around the cord. Route the cord so it does not interfere with ADA*
space requirements.
8. To fill cold water tank on water cooler versions, open water supply line shut-off and push any one of the front or side pushbuttons
to allow water to flow to the bubbler. On the EE model, actuate the solenoid by holding one hand approximately 3" from the infrared
sensor. Run water until stream free of bubbles.
9. To Adjust Bubbler:
a) All Pushbutton models are equipped with a Cartridge Regulator. The KEP8AC, KEPAC, KEPF8AC, and KEPFAC have a slot in the shelf below
the Pushbuttons. Insert a screwdriver in the slot to adjust regulator. Turn adjustment clockwise to increase stream height. To access the
PV8AC adjustment, remove the Bezel and Button from the front of the cooler.
b) Electric Eye (EE) models have a Regulator built into the the Bubbler. If adjustment is needed, insert a 5/64" wrench approximately 1 1/8"
into the bubbler nozzle opening until it bottoms out and is seated in an adjust screw. Turn the adjust screw clockwise to reduce stream
height or counter clockwise to increase the height. NOTE: less than one turn is required to go from a closed to a wide open flow. Do not
over tighten the adjuster in the closed position as stripping the hex impression in the adjust screw may result. Turn the adjuster 1/16 of
a turn at a time.
10. On electic eye equipped models, place and then hold hand approximately 3" from the sensor to actuate the solenoid valve. After
approximately 30 seconds run time, the sensor will automatically shut off the solenoid valve. To reactivate, move hand away for an
instant and then again place it in front of the sensor.

11. To adjust the beam range of the sensor (EE models only):
a) Shut off water and power supplies.
b) Remove the four screws from the top front.
c) Remove the eight screws from the bottom of the nose that holds the nose to the shelf.
d) Remove the nose to gain access to the sensor adjusting screw located between the two lenses.
e) The screw can be tuned a maximum of 3/4 turns. Turn screw counterclockwise to decrease range. The sensor has an adjustable range of
24" to 48". It is factory set at 27". There is a non-adjustable on-time delay of 0.75 seconds to prevent nuisance actuation of the solenoid
valve should someone walk by. NOTE: Walls with a reflective finish i.e., ceramic tile, across from the sensor may cause false actuation no
matter what the sensor adjustment is for distance. Therefore, do not install the unit in such an area or dull the surface of the wall so it will
not reflect light.
f) The Sensor may be remotely adjust with a PDA. Software may be downloaded from the Franke web site Tech Tips Section.
C. MaintenanCe
The only maintenance operation required is the removal of dirt and lint from the condenser where used. Inspection should be made at 3-month
intervals. Disconnect the power supply cord, then clean the condenser with a small stiff non-wire or vacuum cleaner attachment brush when
required. Observance if this procedure will insure adequate air circulation through the condenser so operation is efficient and economical.
D. oVerloaD ProteCtion
The compressor motor, where used, is equipped with an automatic reset protector which will disconnect the motor from the line in
case of an overload.
e. luBriCation
This unit is equipped with a hermetically sealed compressor and requires no additional lubrication. The fan motor, where used, on this unit
seldom needs oiling, but if required, a few drops of SAE 10 oil should be used.
F. to DisContinue use oF Water Cooler
1. Close water shut-off valve.
2. Provide container to catch water to be drained.
3. On the push button model, disconnect the water supply line at the shut off valve and remove the tank drain plug. Actuate and hold in the
pushbutton to open the solenoid valve and completely drain the cooler. Disconnect the power supply cord.
4. On the EE model, disconnect the water supply line at the shut off valve and remove the tank drain plug. Actuate the solenoid, as explained in
Step B-7 to completely drain the cooler. Disconnect the power supply cord.
5. Replace plug when draining is complete.
6. ALWAYS DRAIN ALL WATER WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED AND BEFORE SHIPPING THE WATER COOLER.
