IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons or property. Read all
instructions before using any appliance.
1. Do not let hot water touch bare skin. Keep combustible material such as furniture,
bedding, pillows, clothes, and/or papers away from the back of the unit.
2. Do not operate this, or any other appliance, with a damaged power cord. No other
appliance should be plugged into the same outlet. Be sure that the plug is fully
inserted into the outlet.
3. Do not run the power cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not cover the
cord. Keep cord away from high traffic areas, and do not submerge in water.
4. We do not recommend the use of extension cord as it may overheat and cause a risk
of fire.
5. Exercise caution and use reasonable supervision when the appliance is used by or
near children.
6. Do not use your water dispenser outdoors. Place the water dispenser away from
direct sunlight and make sure that there is at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between
the back of your unit and wall. Keep a minimum of 2 inches (5cm) on each side of
your unit free.
7. Do not use this product to dispense anything other than water.
8. To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be placed on even and
flat surface.
9. If the supply cord is damaged, the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person must replace it in order to avoid a hazard.
10. This water cooler must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
11. Disconnect the plug from the outlet when not in use.
12. Remove power plug or disconnect from the main power source before servicing the
appliance.

UNPACKING THE WATER COOLER
1. Cut and remove the straps from the box. DO NOT turn the box upside down, or lay it on
its side. The bottom of the box is separate from the top section. Lift straight up on the top
box section to remove the top box section. Remove the Styrofoam packaging and plastic
bag. Lift the water cooler off the bottom of the box. Wipe it clean if necessary.
2. Place the machine on a hard, flat surface. Make certain the unit is level. The unit should
not be close to direct sunlight or other source of heat.
3. It is best to place the water cooler in an area with good air circulation. Make sure there is
at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between the back of your water cooler and the wall.
Keep a minimum distance of 2 inches (5cm) on each side of your water cooler.
WARNING: The drain cap on the back of the unit may become loose during shipping. Fasten
the drain cap tightly before you start to operate the unit. If the drain cap is loose, the unit may
leak and cause floor damage.
PREPARING THE WATER COOLER FOR USE
The Aqua Sub is different from a traditional water cooler. The water bottle does not need to be
placed upside down on the top of the unit. The water bottle is placed in the lower cabinet of the
unit, and then a pump draws the water up to the dispenser.
Figure 1 Figure 2

1. Make sure the water dispenser is not plugged into
an electrical outlet.
2. Open the door of the lower cabinet and pull the tray
out from the cabinet.
3. Place a full water bottle on the tray. Remove the
plastic cover over the mouth of the water bottle.
4. Put the hose inside the water bottle and place the
water bottle cap firmly over the mouth of the water
bottle. (Figure 1)
5. Push the tray inside the cabinet of the water cooler.
Attach the hose to the water cooler by pressing in
on the knob of the hose cap and sliding over the
connector at the top of the cabinet. Push up firmly
to assure the connection is tight. (Figure 2)
6. Close the lower cabinet door.
7. Plug the water cooler into a grounded power outlet
and turn on the power switch located on the back.
8. The unit will start to operate, but you should wait at
least half an hour before using the water cooler.
NOTE: If there is not a secure connection between the hose cap and the connector on the
water cooler, the water pump will operate but the water cooler will not dispense water.
Make sure the hose is connected to the water cooler correctly.
NOTE: Please wait until the water pump stops running before using the unit. If the water tank is
not full, no water will dispense from the tepid water faucet and the hot water faucet.
NOTE: The second time the water bottle is changed after the light on the front panel is on,
switch RESET to OFF for 3 seconds.
OPERATION
After the water bottle has been connected to the water cooler, the unit is ready for use. Turn the
power switch on the back of the unit to ON. The water cooler will start running. First the unit
will pump the water from the water bottle into the cooling and heating tanks, and then the unit’s
compressor and heater will start to operate. The first time the water cooler is used, you will have
to wait at least half an hour for hot and cold water.
When the indicator light on the front panel is on, there is no water left in the water bottle. The
water bottle will need to be replaced. Replace the water bottle, and then press the RESET button
located on the backside of the unit. The water cooler will work again and the indicator light will
be off.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINENCE
To avoid accidents, turn off and unplug the water cooler from the outlet before cleaning.
•A soft damp cloth may be used to clean the surface of the water cooler. When necessary,
a mild detergent may be used. DO NOT use erosive chemical solvents to clean the unit,
as this may damage the surface of the water cooler.
•DO NOT pour water on the exterior of the unit to avoid getting the internal electrical
system damp. DO NOT immerse the unit in water when cleaning.
•The water bottle cap, hose, and drip tray may be washed in a dishwasher.
•Keep the water cooler 6 inches (15cm) away from the wall so it can work properly. Make
certain all ventilation openings are clear of obstruction.
•Do not damage the heating or cooling system, paying particular attention to the black
condenser or heat radiator on the back of the water cooler.
•If you will not use the water cooler for a long period of time, please unplug the power
cord and drain the water cooler. Drain the water from all faucets, then remove the drain
cap on back and allow it to drain. Make certain the drain cap is fastened tightly when
finished.
