Inspect the carton and water cooler for evidence of rough handling and concealed
•
damage. If contents appear damaged, ask driver or contact carrier for a damage claim
form to fill out. Shipper must be notified immediately.
Remove the carton, top packaging tray, and shipping bag from the system. Remove
•
system from the bottom Styrofoam
®
and carton tray.
Inspect the system further, ensuring that:
•
- there is no
physical damage to the system.
- all
accessories are present.
- the
hot tank switch is in the “
OFF
” position.
- the
cooler is clean and dust free.
Select the location for the system with care. Various conditions which contribute to proper
location are as follows:
Locate as close as possible to water supply source.
•
Locate as close as possible to a three-prong grounding receptacle.
•
Locate the system on a smooth and level floor.
•
Allow sufficient space around the system for easy servicing.
•
Provide a non-switched 110/120V, 60Hz power source for the system.
•
Make sure the system is not moved, tilted, OR shaken. Any of these will result in water
•
spillage and may cause property damage. CRYSTAL QUEST
®
accepts no liability for
damage.
Make sure the system is not within reach of children. The system does not have a child
•
safety device.
Do not locate the system where the environment would offer any risk of water
•
contamination.
Do not locate the system within or directly adjacent to toilet facilities.
•
Do not put any liquid other than water into the system.
•
Do not lay the system on its side.
•
Do not leave the system on without water supply line running.
•
Install water cooler in an area protected from flooding, rain, direct sunlight, dust, snow
•
and freezing. The warranty does not cover damage incurred as a result of exposure to
the weather.
Allow two inch clearance on sides, top, and back for ease of installation, proper air
•
circulation and plumbing and electrical connections.
Do not install the water cooler where the temperature will go below 60ºF (16ºC)
•
because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperature.
Do not install the water cooler where the temperature will go above 100ºF (37ºC)
•
because it will not perform properly.
Install water cooler on a floor strong enough to support it when fully loaded with water.
•
If the water cooler is against a wall on either side, allow a 1/8” (3 mm) door clearance.
•
IMPORTANT
– Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Read the instructions carefully and learn the specific details regarding installation
•
and use. Failure to follow them could cause serious property damage. CRYSTAL
QUEST
®
accepts no liability for property damage.
The system should be installed to meet local, state and federal plumbing codes
•
and health department rules and regulations. You must follow these guidelines
as you install the water cooler system.
All equipment should be plumbed into the water system by a licensed, qualified
•
plumber.
Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes.
•
The system is for indoor use only.
•
The system will stand up to 60 pounds per square inch (psi) water pressure.
•
We recommend installing a pressure reducing valve before the system. This will
reduce the water pressure flow to the system and will prevent pressure build-up
on the system when not in use. The most common operating water pressure
range is 35-65 psi.
Turn the cold water line off while installing the system.
•
A hard impact or jarring of the system will cause fill float to fail and may cause
•
major property damage.

.
Water will discharge if the top of the reservoir is not placed properly or seated
•
securely (the reservoir top needs to be placed fully onto the reservoir tower), or
the unit has been shaken or tilted, causing the floater to get stuck.
Make certain the electrical outlet is grounded by having it checked by an
•
electrician or by using a UL listed circuit analyzer. Units are furnished with
3-prong grounded plugs to protect you against the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances remove the ground prong and never splice or
cut the electrical cord.
The outlet must be within reach of the power cord. Do not use an extension cord.
•
Extension cords that are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to
the unit and could present a safety hazard.
Disconnect power before installing or servicing the unit. Do not plug unit in or
•
change fuses while standing on wet or damp surfaces and do not touch any
other metal surfaces while plugging in product or changing fuses.
All water treatment installations must conform to local plumbing, electrical and
•
sanitation codes. These codes are established for your protection.
When installation is complete, dispense water from the hot and cold water
•
spouts and run water until there is no more air in the lines.
When installation is complete, re-check the system to make sure there are no
•
leaks or drips.
CAUTION
: Fill the unit with water; dispense a cup of water through each spout before
turning on the heating switch.
WARNING
: A pressure regulator, such as a slow-flow regulator, must be installed in
front of the system’s water inlet if the water pressure is above 60 psi (including any
possible pressure spikes). Failure to comply will void warranty. Crystal Quest
®
accepts
no liability for damage caused by excessive water pressure or improper installation.
Do not use this drinking water system where the source water is microbiologically
unsafe or with water of unknown quality.
Before you begin, read these instructions completely and carefully.
This water line installation is not warranted by the water cooler manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
•
Water hammering (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to water cooler parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to
•
correct water hammering before installing the water supply line to the water cooler.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water cooler to the hot water line.
•
Do not install the water cooler and/or water cooler tubing in areas where temperatures fall below 60ºF. When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during
•
installation, be sure the device is double insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
•
Use copper or a Crystal Quest
•
®
tubing kit (1/4” outside diameter) to connect the water cooler to the water supply. If using copper, both ends of the tubing must be cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need, measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the water cooler to the water supply pipe then add about 10” (25 cm) to allow
•
the water cooler to move out from the wall after installation.
NOTE:
The only Crystal Quest
®
approved polytubing is that which is supplied in the Crystal Quest
®
water cooler tubing kit. Do not use any other plastic water supply line because the
line is under pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic will crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to your location. Crystal Quest
®
accepts no liability for property
damage.
NOTE:
The hot tank switch should be in the “OFF” position before and during installation.
