Operating & Cleaning Guidelines
-
Setup & Installation: Position the unit on a flat, level surface in a well-ventilated area. Have a licensed plumber connect the 12.7 mm (1/2") BSP water line, verify water supply pressure is between 150 kPa and 700 kPa, and plug into a grounded 220–240V wall outlet.
-
First-Time Flushing: Turn on the water supply and allow the internal refrigeration tank to fill completely. Flush the drinking bubbler for 2 to 3 minutes before initial drinking use to purge air bubbles and clean internal lines.
-
Daily Hygiene & Maintenance: Wipe down external housing, basin, and anti-vandal bubbler daily using a clean microfibre cloth and a mild food-safe sanitiser. Inspect the basin drain periodically to keep it free from dirt and workshop debris.
