GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected water cooler:
This water cooler must be properly wired for correct polarity and grounded. In the event of a mal-
function or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This water cooler is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly wired or grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Do not bend or remove prongs.
“Please make sure that ELECTRICAL OUTLET IS PROPERLY WIRED
TO CORRECT SIZED CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND PROPERLY
GROUNDED. MUST BE WIRED TO HAVE CORRECT POLARITY.”
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Make sure power prongs(lugs) and ground prong are in good
condition, hot bent or altered in any ways. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do
not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Dedicated power outlet 115/120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- amp, fused electrical supply is required. A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Do not overload the circuit, provide separate
circuit, to serve only this appliance.
This water cooler is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type
outlet, grounded and wired in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not
available user is responsible to have properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician
determine that the ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the water cooler is properly wired and grounded.
Do not use a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. It must be installed in the power line only.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervi-
sion or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
