After inspection, you can begin sanitising the watercooler and replacing the shipping bag and carton over the water cooler. Your cooler is now ready for transportation to your customer’s premises!

NOTE: Whenever you transport the cooler to or from your premises, ensure that a shipping bag is placed over the cooler. This will prevent damage to the cabinet caused by coolers rubbing against one another in the back of the van or lorry.

Setting up the water cooler at your customer’s premises
Always carry the cooler in the upright position to the customer’s premises, using the handle at the rear of the unit. Never lift the unit by the faucets. Upon arrival at your customer’s premises, ensure that there are no marks or visible damage to the carton. Remove the cooler from the carton and then remove the shipping bag from the cooler. Once again, carry out an inspection ensuring that:

• There are no marks or physical damage to the cooler
• All accessories are present
• The faucets are tight and in an upright position
• All wires and electrical connections are in place at the back of the cooler
• The cold control is set to the maximum cold control
• The hot tank switch is in the “OFF” position
• The cooler is clean and dust-free

Place a bottle of water on top of the unit. As soon as the bottle is in place, ensure that the hot faucet is pressed open and the appropriate time is allowed until the hot tank is full. This is indicated when water flows out of the hot faucet and the air stops going back to the bottle. Finally, check that water flows through the cold faucet.

At this point, it is safe to connect the unit to the electrical mains using the power cord. Switch on the hot tank and allow the unit to operate for 25 minutes. Using a flashlight, check through the back of the water cooler for any form of water leakage.

After the unit has operated for 25 minutes, check that there is hot water flowing from the hot faucet and cold water flowing from the cold faucet respectively. Once again, check the cooler for any form of water leaks. Ensuring that the cooler is in the customer’s desired location and all accessories are attached to the water cooler, the installation is now complete!
