UNPACKING
1. Remove all packing materials. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the
accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remaining packaging, tape and printed material before turning on the water
dispenser.
Note: Allow the water dispenser to stand in an upright position for at least10 hours before turning on
the power.
Proper Location
• To ensure that your water dispenser works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you
should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation and electrical connections.
• The following are the recommended clearances around the water dispenser.
Sides 2" (50mm)
Back 4" (100mm)
• Do not install your water dispenser in any location that is not properly insulated or heated because
the unit is not designed to operate in room temperature below 55˚F / 13˚C. The water dispenser is
for indoor use only. Room temperature should not exceed 97° F / 36° C.
Note: The built-in thermostat maintains the hot and cold temperatures automatically. On the com-
pressor cooled water coolers the hot water temperature will be between 185˚- 201.2˚ F/ 85˚-
94˚ C and the cold water temperature will be between 39.2˚- 50˚ F/ 4˚-10˚ C.
• Select a suitable location for the unit on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight and heat
sources (e.g., radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc.)
Note: Hot and cold water will not be instantly available as the unit will need time to heat up and
cool down the water.
CAUTION: DO NOT plug in the water dispenser until water flows through both Hot and
Cold water faucets.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Read carefully and understand all installation instructions before installing the water dispenser.
Installing Your Water Dispenser
Follow the steps below to install the water dispenser.
1. Remove the cap from the water bottle first. Lift up the water bottle and quickly place it into the
water guard. (The water bottle is not included.)
2. DO NOT plug in the water dispenser until you have checked that water flows out of both the red
and blue faucets when pressed. Never turn on the water dispenser without water in it. Doing so
may cause the unit to catch fire or malfunction.
3. Check that water flows out by pressing both the red and blue water release buttons one at a time.
4. Plug the power cord into an 115volt / 60 Hz outlet.
5. To activate the water heater and cooler, turn ON the red and blue switches on the back of the unit.
The hot & cold indicators in the front will be lit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with
a cord containing a grounding wire and a grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that
is properly installed and grounded.
• Improper use of the plug may result in the risk of electric
shock.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in
doubt as to whether the appliance has been properly
grounded.
Wiring Requirements
This appliance must be plugged into a 15Amp, 115 Volt, 60Hz GROUNDED OUTLET.
Note: Where a standard two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of an extension cord with this unit.
Power Interruptions
Occasionally, there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the
power cord from wall outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, re-plug the
power cord into wall outlet.
8
Note: Your units come with a bottle secure bracket as seen in figure A. Use the bracket shown above
to keep the water bottle stable and tightly secured. This will help when the water level is low in the
bottle and avoid bottle wobbling. To use simply place the bracket inside the water bottle holding
receptacle as shown in figure B. Now place the water bottle on the cooler as shown in figure. D.

OPERATING YOUR WATER DISPENSER
This water dispenser maintains instant hot and cold water for your cooking and drinking needs. It
accepts 2, 3 or 5-gallon water bottles.
(For WDNS045, WDNS055)
Cold (blue) / Hot (red) Water Release Buttons
• Press the button in to release the water flow.
Note: The hot (red) water button is equipped with a child safety lock to prevent accidental spilling of
hot water. To release the hot water flow, the button must be pushed along with the child safety
button, which is located right over the water release button.
Caution! Be careful when carrying hot water in your cup or container to avoid any injury or
harm from spills.
Cold (blue) / Hot (red) Water Indicator Lights
When the blue and red lights are illuminated on the front of the unit, the heating and cool-
ing process is in progress. When the cold and hot water has reached their proper temper-
atures, both lights will turn off automatically. Normally, hot water reaches proper tempera-
ture first.
For WDNS201SS and WDNSC145
• Press the red child safety lever along with the tap and push down to get Hot water. For Cold water,
push down the Blue tap.
Using The Refrigerator Compartment (only in WDNS055)
The convenient refrigerator compartment can be very useful in storing beverages
and other perishable food items.
• When the dispenser is turned on for the first time, avoid food spoilage by waiting
at least few hours before putting any food or beverages into the compartment, as
the compartment may not be cool enough to store foods.
Using the Storage Compartment (not in all unit)
The convenient storage compartment can be very useful in storing instant drink
mixes such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate powder and other snacks.
You may store items in both the upper and lower levels of the
compartment. Remove the plastic shelf to store taller items.
Removable Drip Tray
The spilled water in the drip tray must be removed regularly and cleaned properly to
avoid any bacteria and residue build-up. To remove it gently, lift the tray up.

English

PROPER CARE AND CLEANING
Caution! Before using any cleaning product, always read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury and/or product damage.
Note: It is best to clean the dispenser and its surrounding area in between replacing the empty bottle
with a new one. This way you can move the unit easily without the weight of the bottle.
General
• Before cleaning, place the dust cover on top of the water guard to prevent dust and debris from
going into the dispenser while cleaning.
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use a
sponge or a soft cloth dampened with the cleaning solution to wipe down the unit.
• Wipe with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents,
solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor
the unit.
• The spilled water in the drip tray must be removed regularly and cleaned properly to avoid any bac-
teria and residue build-up.
• We recommend that you clean the water dispenser at least twice a year. When cleaning, you do not
need to take anything apart. Simply pour the baking soda/water solution through the water guard.
Then rinse with plenty of water and allow the water to drain.
• On the WDNS055, to clean the refrigerated compartment, let the built up ice melt. Do not use sharp
objects or a knife to remove the ice built up. Do not use boiling water to remove the ice.
• Remove the accumulated water from the drip tray, and wipe the compartment clean.
WARNING!
Always unplug the unit before cleaning to avoid electric shock.
Failure to do so may result in death or injury.
English

Cleaning the Condenser Coils
• We recommend that you move the dispenser away from the wall and vacuum or brush the coils on
the rear of the unit at least 4 times a year. Some operating environments may require more frequent
cleaning.
For Long Vacations or Absences / Moving
• Turn OFF the cold and hot water switches.
• Unplug the unit.
• Put a container or bucket on the floor under the drain on the back of the unit to catch the water
released from the drain tube.
• Remove the drain plug located on the side of the unit to release the water
and empty both the tanks.
Note: Remove drain plug by turning it in a “clockwise direction”. Please
note not to use any tools to remove or install the drain plug. Use
hands only.
• After completing the drain process, replace the drain plug to its original
position.
• You must store the unit at room temperature.
• Avoid storing the unit where the temperature is at or below freezing.
• When moving, the unit must be moved vertically. DO NOT move the unit in horizontal position as
this may cause possible damage to internal parts.
• You must cover the unit to avoid dust and debris from entering the water guard.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If the power is switched on and the compressor will not start up:
• Make sure the power cord is plugged in properly
• If the water dispenser is brought indoors in the winter, give it a few hours to warm up to room
temperature before plugging it in. Cold bottled water or the temperature of the water dispenser
itself may affect the thermostat setting. If the room temperature is lower than the thermostat setting
or the water dispenser itself is cold the compressor will not start up. We do not advise that you
make any adjustments to the thermostat setting.
If water dispenser operation is noisy:
• Make sure the water dispenser sits on a level surface. If the dispenser is noisy after its first use,
unplug it for half an hour and try again.
If the condenser becomes too hot:
• When the compressor is working, it is normal for the condenser to be hot. If you are concerned that
the temperature is too high, check to see that there is enough room around the water dispenser to
allow proper ventilation.
If the contents of the cooling compartment are not cold enough:
• Make sure the cooling compartment door is closed tightly.
If the compressor is running non-stop:
• Make sure the cooling compartment door is closed tightly.
If the cold water tap doesn’t work and the cold water tank freezes:
• The cold water tap may freeze under extreme conditions. If the water is not being used, the cooling
compartment is loaded and the compressor is running continuously, the cold water tank can freeze.
• The cooling load may be too warm. We do not advise that you place items that exceed 40°C in the
refrigerator.
• The door of the cooling compartment may not be closed.
• To thaw the cold water tank, turn off and unplug the unit and remove the water bottle. Keep drain-
ing hot water and pouring it back into the water receptacle. Once the tank has thawed, place the
bottle on the unit, plug the unit back in and turn it on.
• If you want to continue using the cooling compartment, keep the door closed and reduce the cool-
ing load inside the cooling compartment. You may turn the cold water and cooling compartment
switch on once the cold water tank is thawed.
If the cold water is warm:
• This is due to either a compressor malfunction (for units with compressor) or the cold water switch
may be in the OFF position.
• Check if the cold water button is in the On position.
• Cold water is used very frequently.
12
English

If water leaks from the tap:
• A calcium deposit may have formed in the tap. Wash the inside of the water dispenser.
If water is dripping from the dispenser onto the floor:
• The water bottle may have small pinholes.
• The drain plug in the rear may be improperly fastened. Check that the soft rubber seal is not torn or
damaged.
• The drip tray at the bottom of the cooling compartment may be full of water. Take out the drip tray
and empty it before replacing it.
