Installation Procedures
Important notice: This procedure should only be carried out by an engineer or
staff trained by Waterlogic International or an approved distributing agent.
NOTE: This appliance is intended for indoor use only and must not be installed in
any area where a water jet could be used.
1. Site the machine with a 50mm air gap at both sides and back. Mount the machine
on a firm flat surface so that it cannot topple over.
2. Level the machine using the adjustable feet.
3. It is advisable that the water supply and electrical supply is within 2 metres of the
machine and that the plug is accessible.
4. Undo the screw located in front of the dispense nipple. Lift and tilt the front door
panel towards you.
5. Unscrew the top cover by removing the six screws which keep it in place. Two are
located at the back of the machine, and four at the front underneath the front door.
Remove the top cover by lifting it from the sides and the back, this will allow you
access the high voltage area.
6. If installing a unit with the option of sparkling water please continue reading. If
not, go directly to no 7. Prepare the gas bottle by removing the dust cover (if fitted).
Face the gas outlet away from you and momentarily turn the gas on and off by
twisting the knob located on the gas bottle. This will allow a high pressure burst
of CO
2
gas to clean any dust and dirt from the fittings. Attach the gas regulator to
the bottle and the gas pipe to the push fitting on the regulator. The pressure of the
regulator should be set by the factory at 45PSi. Locate the gas bottle upright in a
secure area near the machine or the base cabinet.
7. Make the water connection to the water supply pipe using an installation kit. Turn
on the water supply and flush the pipe until water supply runs clear of any dirt, then
make the water connection to rear of the machine. Ensure that the water supply is
turned on. The size of the pipe required is 1/4”. The minimum working pressure is 30
PSi/2 Bar. The ideal pressure is 42 PSi/3 Bar.
8. Check the electrical socket, if required, and then make the electrical connection
to the machine, by plugging the power lead into the rear of the machine, then
connecting to the electrical socket. Make sure that the red and green switches
located at the rear of the machine are off when you turn on the electrical supply to
the machine. Do not at this stage turn on these switches.
9. The water temperature of the machine is factory set for cold still water at 5°C and
87°C for hot water. Sparkling water will automatically be colder than the still water
as the cold tank system is designed to do this. Temperatures can be adjusted in
section ‘Programming Instructions’.
10. If installing unit with option of sparkling water please continue reading. If not go
directly to no 11. Purge CO
2
gas through the carbonation tank by lifting the yellow
lever on the relief valve located on top of the carbonation tank for a few seconds.
11. Inspect all the water connections and all the electrical connections.
12. Replace the top cover on the machine and the front door.
13. Turn on only the red power switch at the rear of the machine.
14. Observe the LCD display illuminating and running self-test.
15. Depress the hot water button followed by the main button, flush 10 litres of water
through the hot tank. The first few litres of water will have a dark appearance. This
is due to a small amount of carbon being released from the water filter when new. It
is harmless and will disappear very quickly whilst you flush the machine.
16. Depress the cold water button followed by the main button, flush 5 litres of
water through the still cold tank.
17. Check the machine for any water or gas leaks.
18. Once satisfied that water is passing through the hot, cold and sparkling tank
successfully, turn on the green heater compressor switch (green switch). The
machine will now start to heat and chill.
19. The hot water will heat rapidly, but it will take approximately 40 minutes before
the cold temperature reaches the set point.
20. When the machine has reached the target temperature, the compressor will
stop running. The temperature will continue to drop as any ice that has formed on
the sides of the tanks will start to melt and equalize the tank temperature.
