COOLING SYSTEM
• This Water Cooler unit does not use a compressor or chemical refrigerant for cooling (as
used in a typical fridge at home). It has a Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) System instead.
• Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) uses a Peltier effect to create a heat flux between the
junctions of two different types of materials.
• A Peltier cooler is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of
the device to the other side against the temperature gradient (from cold to hot), when
power is supplied.
• Such an instrument is also called a Peltier Device, Peltier Diode, Peltier Heat Pump, Solid
State Refrigerator, or Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC).
THE ADVANTAGES OF TEC
• Thermoelectric coolers have no compressor.
• No Freon or other liquid or gaseous refrigerants required.
• Quiet operation.
• Very low power consumption.
• Compact size and light weight makes TEC well suited for miniature coolers.
• High reliability – can work many hours with no failures.
• Relatively low cost and high effectiveness.
TYPICAL WATER COOLING RESULT
It will take approximately 30 - 40 minutes to cool (depending on ambient temperature)
600ml of filtered 22˚C water when first switching the unit ON.
BEFORE FIRST USE
• Wash and rinse out the plastic water tanks thoroughly before use.
• Remove the filter from its packaging then fully cover and soak in cold clean water for
30 minutes and then rinse off under cold clean running tap water.
• You may notice a fine black dust come out of the filter. This will happen on all new
filters and when water is filtered through it the first couple of uses. This is no cause for
alarm. It is just the dust from the activated carbon inside the filter. Although it looks
unsightly, it will not harm you.
• Place Lower Water Tank and Upper Water Tank onto the cooler.
• Insert filter and ensure it sits flat and fully seated.
• Fill Upper Water Tank with clean cold water.
• As a reminder of when to change and replace the filter, lift and turn the dial on the lid
to the current month. The filter replacement month will show the second successive
month from the start date.
• Place the lid on the Upper Water Tank.
• Let the water filter through into the Lower Water Tank and continue to refill the Upper
Water Tank until both the top and lower water tanks are full.
• It is recommended that for first use and each time the filter is subsequently changed,
the tap is opened to allow all the water to flush through and to remove any remaining
black dust. Repeat a second time. The discarded water can be used on your plants
without harm.
• Please
DO NOT
fill above the maximum fill line as water will flow out between the two
water tanks and make a mess on your work surface.
