NOTICE
This fixture is intended to dispense water that has been lowered in temperature, but otherwise remains
unchanged by the materials in the water cooler. It is common for electrical equipment to be grounded
to water lines either within a structure or away from it. Every attempt should be made to prevent this
kind of grounding from generating electrical feedback into the water cooler creating electrolysis.
Electrolysis will cause a metallic taste or cause water metal content to increase.
IMPORTANT
Prior to roughing consult with local, state, and federal codes for proper mounting height.
A dielectric coupling must be used to connect the water cooler to the water supply. A nonmetallic
coupler is furnished with this water cooler to meet this requirement.

7. Assemble bottom cover to water cooler with screws furnished.
5. With power still NOT connected, carefully manually rotate cooling fan to insure proper clearance
and free fan action.
6. Plug water cooler in to electrical outlet and make sure unit begins to function.
3. Hang the water cooler on the hanger bracket, ensuring the bracket tabs engage AND seat in the
slots in the back of the water cooler. Verify water cooler is level, left to right AND front to back from
bottom of unit. NOTE: The bubbler stream may be adversely affected if unit is not square and level.
Bottom of unit and louvers should be used as reference to verify unit is square and plumb.
INSTALLATION:
1. Mount hanger bracket to wall horizontally level as shown in Roughing-In and Dimensional Drawing.
Note: Adjust height of bracket if bubbler outlet height is required to vary from that shown.
Hanger Bracket MUST be securely anchored to wall with fasteners sufficient to support 3 times
weight of cooler. If wall can not provide adequate support, order and install optional fixture support
carrier.
2. Remove the bottom cover from the water cooler and set aside in a safe place. Save the screws in a
secure location for re-use in later stages of installation.
4. Anchor water cooler to wall at other mounting points in base. Shim lower rear mounting points to
level unit if necessary.
5. Thoroughly flush the 3/8” O.D. supply line and then connect water cooler to water supply angle stop
valve (by others) with supplied 3/8” O.D. copper tube.
6. Make up 1-1/4” O.D. p-trap (by others) waste connection.
START UP:
1. Before connecting power supply and assembling bottom cover to water cooler, but after thoroughly
flushing the supply line and connecting it to the fixture, turn on building water supply and check all
connections for leak.
2. Air within the water cooler s ystem or the structure supply piping will cause an irregular bubbler
outlet stream until purged out by incoming water. Covering the bubbler with a clean cup (or similar
object) is recommended when first activating water cooler to prevent excessive splashing. Depress
the pushbutton until steady water stream is achieved.
3. If water flow requires adjustment, insert a slotted narrow blade screwdriver through the hole
centered on the pushbutton to the flow regulator. Turning clockwise will increase flow and turning
counterclockwise will decrease flow.
4. Recheck all water and drain connections with water flowing through system.

3. Compressor Runs – Water Is Warm
a. The most common cause for a water cooler to run without producing cold water is a
loss of refrigerant. The water cooler must be taken to a certified refrigerant technician
for repairs.
b. Make sure the condenser fan motor is operative. The fan blade must turn freely to help
remove the heat of compression.
c. An incorrect refrigerant charge, restriction or defective compressor (not pumping) will
also cause the compressor to run without producing cold water. All these signs indicate
a problem within the refrigeration system and the water cooler must be checked by an
authorized service company.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
IMPORTANT: BEFORE MAKING ANY OF THE REPAIRS LISTED, MAKE SURE THE WATER
COOLER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND THE WATER SUPPLY
VALVE IS SHUT OFF.
IMPORTANT : ASSUREZ-VOUS QUE LA FONTAINE D'EAU POTABLE RÉFRIGÉRÉE SOIT
DÉBRANCHÉE DE LA PRISE DE COURANT MURALE ET QUE LE ROBINET D'ALIMENTATION
D'EAU SOIT FRMÉ AVANT D'EFFECTUER LES RÉPARATIONS NÉCESSAIRES.
1. Adjustments:
a. Cartridge – The water flow can be adjusted using a slotted narrow blade screwdriver and
turning clockwise to increase flow and counterclockwise to decrease flow.
b. Cold Water Thermostat – The water temperature can be adjusted using a slotted
screwdriver and turning clockwise to make colder and counterclockwise to make warmer.
c. Bubbler Stream – Bubbler can be rotated slightly to direct the stream backwards or
forwards. Adjust the stream to minimize splashing. Splashing may occur from bubbler
stream if the unit is not level. Shim lower mounting points, if necessary, to level cooler.
2. Compressor Does Not Run
a. Check the electrical receptacle for power and correct voltage. The incoming voltage must be
within 10% of the rated voltage on the serial nameplate.
b. The cold thermostat is accessible by removing the bottom access cover. If the cold
thermostat capillary bulb loses its charge or becomes kinked it will fail in the open position
causing a disruption of power to the compressor. Unplug the water cooler and using an
ohm meter check for continuity across the two electrical terminals on the thermostat. Install a
new thermostat if there is no continuity.
c. Check for loose wires within the compressor box. The incoming power leads must be
connected to the overload and relay.
d. If all components check positive for continuity then test the wiring harness plug for
continuity to see if there is a broken wire within the wiring harness insulation.
4. Compressor Cycling On Overload Protector
a. A dirty condenser or a blocked fan will cause a high head pressure and frequent cycling
of the overload protector.
b. Check the incoming voltage to make sure it is within 10% of the serial nameplate rating.
c. A restriction or moisture in the system will also cause intermittent cycling. A certified
refrigeration mechanic should be contacted in this situation.
d. Change the overload or relay if defective.

2. Excess dirt or poor ventilation will cause the compressor overload protector to turn the compressor
off and it will cycle on and off with no cold water coming out of bubbler. Periodically clean with
vacuum cleaner, air hose or brush the condenser fins and cabinet ventilation louvers. In
environments where dirt and dust is more prevalent, clean more frequently.
4. Do NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasive or petroleum based cleaners. Use of these will void the
Acorn warranty.
5. Noisy Operation
a. Check to make sure the fan blade is rotating freely.
b. Make sure the water cooler is correctly mounted to the wall. Absence of the two lower
mounting bolts may cause excess noise and vibration.
c. Check the compressor mounting to make sure the pins and clips are not rattling. If the
compressor appears to be noisy internally, it must be replaced.
6. Restricted Or No Water Flow
a. Ensure water supply service stop valve is fully open.
b. Verify minimum 20 psig supply line flow pressure.
c. Check for twists or kinks in bubbler tubing.
d. Check the water inlet strainer. Sediment from the main supply can get trapped in the
screen along with installation materials such as pipe dope and flux. The screen should
be cleaned and checked on a regular basis and replace if needed.
NOTE: STRAINER SCREEN MUST BE IN PLACE FOR WATER TO FLOW.
e. The cartridge valve located in the water control assembly or bubbler can also become
clogged with foreign material. The cartridge valve can only be replaced and not
repaired.
f. Check flow adjustment. See start up note #3.
g. The water cooler may also develop a freezing condition in which the water will become
frozen inside the evaporator coil. This indicates a refrigeration problem or thermostat
failure in which case the water cooler needs to be checked by a qualified technician.
7. Water Drip Or Will Not Shut Off:
a. Remove Pushbutton. Adjust flow regulator to the highest setting using a
flat head screwdriver and turning clockwise. Check if water drip continues, if it is no longer
dripping turn screwdriver counter-clockwise until you have desired flow rate. Assure that
retaining nut is tighten to valve assembly, 25 in-lb torque is required. If issue still continues after
adjusting flow and tightening retainer nut, replacement of the flow regulator cartridge will be
required in the center or two holes in convolution of the water diaphragm.
Remove and clean.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
1. Motors have lifetime lubrication and do not require scheduled maintenance.
3. Periodically remove access panels and clean out in-line strainer.
5. Exterior panels can be cleaned using mild household detergents or warm, soapy water. Extra care
must be used cleaning chrome plated items and mirror finished stainless steel. They can scratch
easily and should only be cleaned using a clean, soft cloth and mild soap with water or a mild glass
cleaner.
