WATER COOLER SET-UP & PREPARATION INSTRUCTION
A)
Inspection
1)
Inspect the carton and the water cooler for
evidence of rough handling and concealed
damage. Damage claims should be filed with
the carrier.
2)
Remove the foam packing blocks from between
the reservoir and the cabinet front.
B)
In-shop Preparation procedures -
Filter/RO Unit Preparation
Warning
- Failure to follow these procedures
will affect cooler performance and void the
warranty.
Install Filters/RO cartridges as follows:
1)
Remove the access door on the front of the unit by
grasping the handholds on the sides and pulling
off the door. A tap with the palm of your hand
about 6” (15cm) up the side of the cabinet will
allow the door to pop off quite easily. Note
marked area on replacement parts drawing.
2)
Remove the manifold assembly and quad filter
from the mounting brackets and set them outside
the cabinet. There is no need to disconnect the
tubing.
3)
Install filters as stated in filter “Installation and
Service Guide”.
4)
Note: For RO models, do not install the
membrane at this time.
5)
Snap the access door back in place on the front of
the unit.
Note: There are snap points at the handholds
and near the base.
Filter/RO Flushing Procedures:
Following this procedure will prepare your OASIS
®
cooler
to deliver the best possible drinking water.
1)
Filters are installed, cooler unplugged, top is off.
2)
Flush filters and reservoir as described in filter
“Installation and Service Guide”.
3)
Replace cabinet top.
C) Water Cooler Installation Instructions
Reservoir and Filter Flushing procedures previously
outlined must be completed before cooler is
installed.
NOTE:
The following states require a licensed
plumber to install cooler; AR, GA, MA, MI, OK, RI, SC,
SD, TX, VT and WI.
CA, KS, MN, NM and OR allow for a state-registered
installer or contractor as well.
WARNING: A pressure regulator, such as a
slow flow regulator, must be installed in front
of the unit’s water inlet if the water pressure
(including any possible pressure spikes) could
exceed 100 P.S.I.G. (690kPA). Failure to comply
will void the warranty. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for damage caused by
excessive water pressure.
1) Determine the best installation location considering
customer preference, electrical outlet, water line
access, and if applicable, drain locations.
2) The water cooler should be located at least 2” (5cm)
from the wall to assure adequate condenser air
circulation.
3) Locate your best access to the water source. Tap
into the water line with a saddle tapping valve
**
, a
faucet fitting ball valve, a solder tee, or similar
device.
NOTE: Always check the local plumbing codes
before tapping into a water line. **(See the Saddle
Tapping Valve Installation Instructions in this
manual if applicable. Valves are available from the
Service Department).
4)
Warning: Use only ¼” OD copper tubing to connect
your water supply to the cooler access port. Connect
your water line to the port labeled “water inlet”. The
inlet fittings used on the OASIS
®
Cooler are quick-
connect fittings. Simply push the tube into the fitting
until it firmly seats in the bottom of the fitting. To
remove the tube, push in the collet and pull the tube
from the fitting. Units are shipped with blue plugs in
each fitting. Remove the plugs in the same manner
described above before inserting the tube. A stop
valve (not included) is recommended near the inlet
connection to the cooler.
5)
The cooler is equipped with a clamp that relieves
stress on the water inlet and drain/product water
fittings when the cooler is moved. The copper tubing
can be coiled and secured in the clamp as shown in
the diagram below. This configuration will help to
reduce the leaks associated with moving a cooler
with plumbing still attached as well as removing the
stress from the fittings.
