  1. Auspacken des Geräts: Carefully remove the water cooler from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
  2. Positionierung: Place the dispenser on a flat, stable, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, especially at the back where the cooling components are located.
  3. Erstreinigung: Before first use, wipe down the exterior of the unit and the drip tray with a damp Tuch.
  4. Wasserflasche installieren: Remove the cap from a 3 or 5-gallon water bottle. Carefully lift the bottle and place it upright onto the support collar on top of the dispenser. Ensure the bottle is seated firmly and water begins to flow into the unit.

  7. Heizung/Kühlung aktivieren: Locate the hot and cold power switches on the back of the unit. Turn them to the 'ON' position. The indicator lights on the front will illuminate.
