UNPACKING THE WATER COOLER
1. Cut and remove the straps from the box. DO NOT turn the box upside down, or lay it on its
side. The bottom of the box is separate from the top section. Lift straight up on the top box
section to remove the top box section. Remove the Styrofoam packaging and plastic bag.
Lift the water cooler off the bottom of the box. Wipe it clean if necessary.
2. Place the machine on a hard, flat surface. Make certain the unit is level. The unit should not
be close to direct sunlight or other source of heat.
3. It is best to place the water cooler in an area with good air circulation. Make sure there is at
least 4 inches (10cm) of space between the back of your water cooler and the wall. Keep a
minimum distance of 2 inches (5cm) on each side of your water cooler.
WARNING: The drain cap on the back of the unit may become loose during shipping. Fasten
the drain cap tightly before you start to operate the unit. If the drain cap is loose, the unit may
leak and cause floor damage.
PREPARING THE WATER COOLER FOR USE
The Aqua Sub is different from a traditional water cooler. The water bottle does not need to be
placed upside down on the top of the unit. The water bottle is placed in the lower cabinet of the
unit, and then a pump draws the water up to the dispenser.
Much like a new refrigerator with an ice maker or water dispenser, it is recommended to
run 1 or 2 water bottles full of water through the system before use.

1. Make sure the water dispenser is not plugged into an electrical out-
let.
2. Open the door of the lower cabinet and pull the tray out from the
cabinet.
3. Place a full water bottle on the tray. Remove the plastic cover over
the mouth of the water bottle.
4. Put the hose inside the water bottle and place the water bottle cap
firmly over the mouth of the water bottle. （Figure 1）
5. Attach the hose to the water cooler by pressing in on the knob of the
hose cap and sliding over the connector at the top of the cabinet.
（Figure 2）
6. Push the tray inside the cabinet and close the lower cabinet door.
7. Plug the water cooler into a grounded power outlet and turn on the
power switch located on the back.
8. The unit will start to operate, but you should wait at least half an
hour before using the water cooler.
NOTE: If there is not a secure connection between the hose cap and the connector on the water cooler,
the water pump will operate but the water cooler will not dispense water. Make sure the hose is con-
nected to the water cooler correctly.
NOTE: Please wait until the water pump stops running before using the unit. If the water tank is not full, no
water will dispense from the cold water faucet and the hot water faucet.
NOTE: The second time the water bottle is changed after the light on the front panel is on, switch RESET to
OFF for 3 seconds.

OPERATION
After the water bottle has been connected to the water cooler, the unit is ready for use. Turn the power switch
on the back of the unit to ON. The water cooler will start running. First the unit will pump the water from the
water bottle into the cooling and heating tanks, and then the unit’s compressor and heater will start to operate.
The first time the water cooler is used, you will have to wait at least half an hour for hot and cold water.
The Aqua Sub water cooler has 3 indicator lights on the front panel. When the Blue
indicator light is on, the unit is in the process of cooling water inside the cooling tank.
When the Yellow indicator light is on, the water cooler is heating water inside the heated
water tank. When the Red indicator light on the front panel is on, there is no water left in
the water bottle. The water bottle will need to be replaced. Replace the water bottle,
and then press the RESET button located on the backside of the unit. The water cooler will
work again and the indicator light will turn off.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. To avoid accidents, turn off and unplug the water cooler from the outlet before cleaning.
2. A soft damp cloth may be used to clean the surface of the water cooler. When necessary, a mild deter-
gent may be used. DO NOT use erosive chemical solvents to clean the unit, as this may damage the
surface of the water cooler.
3. DO NOT pour water on the exterior of the unit to avoid getting the internal electrical system damp. DO
NOT immerse the unit in water when cleaning.
4. The water bottle cap, hose, and drip tray may be washed in a dishwasher (top rack only).
5. Keep the water cooler 6 inches (15cm) away from the wall so it can work properly. Make certain all
ventilation openings are clear of obstruction.
6. Do not damage the heating or cooling system, paying particular attention to the black condenser or heat
radiator on the back of the water cooler.
7. If you will not use the water cooler for a long period of time, please unplug the power cord and drain
the water cooler. Drain the water from all faucets, then remove the drain cap on back and allow it to
drain. Make certain the drain cap is fastened tightly when finished.
