2. Posicionament: Ensure the dispenser is placed in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance from walls for proper ventilation.

   • Obriu la porta del compartiment inferior del dispensador.

• Aigua calenta: For safety, the hot water faucet typically has a child-safety lock. Simultaneously press the red button and slide the safety lock (if present) to dispense hot water. Exercise caution as hot water can cause burns.

When the water bottle is empty, the "Bottle Empty" indicator light will illuminate. Replace the bottle following the "Install Water Bottle" steps in the Setup section.
