The water dispenser operates on:
- 12 Volts DC.
- Potable water at a pressure of 15 psi - 125 psi.
Connect the water dispenser only to a potable water supply. The dispenser system does not make untreated
water potable.
The dispenser is made to operate with water. Do not connect the dispenser to any other beverage source.
The convenient features of the water dispenser are:
- one hand operation.
- a task light which comes on while the water dispenser is on.
- a drain grid and drip cup which are removable for easy cleaning.
- a message center, on non-metal door models) which provides a location for notes, reminders, etc.
Water dispenser operation:
First time operation:
The first operation of the water dispenser removes the air from the water dispenser system.
1. Remove the label from the water dispenser.
Do not pull on the dispenser arm. If you accidently pull the dispenser arm off of the water dispenser, make sure the
coil spring is over the round stud of the water dispenser and press the dispenser arm onto the water dispenser until it
“snaps” into position.
2. Open the water shut off valve of the vehicle.
3. Hold a glass below the dispenser nozzle.
4. Push in and hold the dispenser arm [189] until the water flows out
in a steady stream and does not sputter (See Art01817).
This may take a minute for the built-in reservoir to fill
for the first time and to eliminate the air from the sys-
tem. You should discard and not use the first several
glasses of water from the dispenser. New plumbing
connections and/or impurities in the water supply line
from the first use or after winterizing can cause the
first glasses of water to be discolored or have an odd
flavor.
5. Release the paddle to stop the water flow.
6. Remove the glass from below the dispenser nozzle.
Continued operation:
1. Allow the water in the dispenser to cool before using the dispenser.
- The cooling time will vary with the supply water temperature.
- A complete refill of the built-in reservoir will take longer.
