IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• The hot water heating system on your dispenser employs an external (immersion type)
heating element that operates 24/7. WARNING: Always make sure there is water in the
unit before activating the heating switch. The heating switch is located at the rear of the
unit and self illuminates when activated confirming the heating system is operational.
When the switch is closed, the self illuminated light will turn off, confirming the heating
system is off. However, always exercise caution when draining the hot water tank as the
water inside may still be very hot and cause scalding.

power cord is connected to an electrical outlet. (there is no power on/off switch)
