B. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking Note: When unpacking the unit you will find a black foam spacer pad between the water spout and the metal taps at the front of the machine. This black foam spacer pad, which assists in keeping the waterways open during transportation needs to be removed, otherwise your taps may leak.

1. Wash all filter bottle parts (except Filter Cartridge) with warm water and detergent and rinse thoroughly.

2. Ensure Drain Plug is secure on the unit and tighten in place.

3. Ensure that the Filter Bottle Non Spill Valve has been installed at the bottom of the Filtered Water Chamber. (Filter Bottle Non Spill Valve should come preassembled on the Filtered Water Chamber.)

4. Place Filtered Water Chamber onto the water cooler unit and push down. There should be no gap between the cooling unit and the Filtered Water Chamber.

Note: If Filtered Water Chamber is not pushed down hard against the unit, the Filter Bottle Non Spill Valve may not open up to allow water to flow from the water bottle into the internal water tank. Therefore no water will flow from either the room or cold water tap as a result.

5. Place Unfiltered Water Chamber into the Filtered Water Chamber.

C. SANITISING INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO USE - RECOMMENDED

approved materials and has been tested to comply with

regulatory requirements for use in Australia and New Zealand.
