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.
Much like a new refrigerator with an ice maker or water dispenser, it is recommended to
run 1 or 2 water bottles full of water through the system before use.

1. Make sure the water dispenser is not plugged into an electrical out-
let.
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. 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.
（Figure 2）
6. Push the tray inside the cabinet and 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 con-
nected 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 cold water faucet and the hot water faucet.

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.
It will take approximately 30 minutes for the water cooler to provide hot and cold water when first plugged in
to an outlet.
• Cold Water - To dispense cold water, press the COLD water button on the control panel.
• Hot Water - To dispense hot water, press the HOT water button and the LOCK button on the control
panel.
• Reset - Once you have replaced an empty water bottle with a new full water bottle, the water cooler will
reset itself and begin pumping water as soon as the door closes.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. To avoid accidents, turn off and unplug the water cooler from the outlet before cleaning.
2. A soft damp cloth may be used to clean the surface of the water cooler. When necessary, a mild deter-
gent may be used. DO NOT use erosive chemical solvents to clean the unit, as this may damage the
surface of the water cooler.
3. 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.
4. The water bottle cap, hose, and drip tray may be washed in a dishwasher (top rack only).
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
