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 least
10 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 insulat-
ed or heated because the unit is not designed to operate in room tempera-
ture 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 compressor 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
but tons 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 encoun-
tered, it is the personal responsibility and obliga-
tion 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.

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.
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 cooling process is in progress. When the cold and
hot water has reached their proper temperatures, both lights will turn
off automatically. Normally, hot water reaches proper temperature
first.
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
(only in WDNS045)
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.

7
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 solu-
tion 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, concen-
trated 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 bacteria 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 bak-
ing 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 copartment
clean.
WARNING!
Always unplug the unit before cleaning to avoid electric shock.
Failure to do so may result in death or injury.
English

8
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 operat-
ing 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 posi-
tion.
• 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 dis-
penser 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 run-
ning 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 draining 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 cooling load inside the cooling compartment. You may turn
the cold water and cooling compartment switch on once the cold water tank
is thawed.

English
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.
If water leaks from the tap:
• A calcium deposit may have formed in the tap. Wash the inside of the water
dispenser with CLR.
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.
