Install the Drip Tray and Grid
1. Unwrap the drip tray (8) from the packaging material and slide it onto the dispenser until it is secure in place.
Connect a Water Bottle
IMPORTANT: To prevent dry heating, do not turn on the heating and cooling switches until you complete the steps in this procedure.
1. Remove the plastic wrapping and cap from the water bottle. Then clean the new bottle with a cloth.
2. Open the cabinet door and feed the bottle adapter tube (12) into the water bottle. Ensure the tube hits the bottom of the bottle.
3. For a 5-gallon bottle, place the bottle adapter (11) over the neck of the water bottle and press securely into place.
4. For a 3-gallon bottle, press down on the two tabs on top of the bottle adapter (11) and slide the cap down the probe tubing to adjust the bottle adapter to fit.
5. Slide the water bottle into the dispenser cabinet and close the door.
6. Wait 5 minutes for the water tanks to fill with water before attempting to use the dispenser.
7. Remove air from the tanks by placing a cup under each water tap and drain at least 4 cups (1 liter) of water before initial use.
  NOTE: Water will not pump from the bottle until the door is completely closed.

Brio Water Dispenser CLBL520SC OPERATION

IMPORTANT: This unit has been tested and sanitized prior to packing and shipping. During transit, dust and odors can accumulate in the tank and lines. Dispense and dispose at least one quart of water prior to drinking any water.

Turn the Dispenser On/Off

IMPORTANT: Before you turn the dispenser on and activate the hot and cold switches, ensure a bottle is installed.

Plug in the dispenser and turn the On/Off switch to On.
Run water through the cold and hot water taps until water begins to dispense.
To power on the cooling system, flip the cooling switch to the On position.
To power on the heating system, flip the heating switch to the On position.

Dispense Cold Water

NOTE: Water will take approximately 1 hour after plugging in and turning on to become completely chilled. The cooling light will turn off once the water has been fully chilled.

Press a drinking glass or container against the cold water faucet to dispense cold water.
Release when your container is full.

Dispense Hot Water and Activate Child Safety Lock
CAUTION: This unit dispenses water at temperatures that can cause severe burns. Avoid direct contact with hot water. Keep children and pets away from the unit while dispensing. Never allow children to dispense hot water without proper and direct supervision. Disable the heating feature by switching the heating convenience switch to the Off position.
NOTE: Water will take approximately 15-20 minutes after plugging in and turning on to reach its hottest temperature. The heating light will turn off once the water has been fully heated.

This water dispenser is equipped with a child safety feature in order to prevent inadvertent dispensing. To enable dispensing of hot water, press and hold the red lock button and then press your mug or container against the paddle directly beneath the red lock button.
Release the paddle once your container is full.

Change the Water Bottle
CAUTION: Do not dispense hot, cool or cold water if the red light is flashing as you could empty the tanks and cause the dispenser to overheat. When the bottle indicator light on the front-right of the dispenser flashes red, it is time to replace your empty water bottle with a new water bottle:

Open the dispenser cabinet door and slide the empty bottle out of the cabinet.
Remove the bottle adapter from the empty bottle and let the probe drip into the bottle. Once dripping has stopped, place the bottle adapter on the hanger and set the empty bottle aside.
Follow the steps in Connect a Water Bottle to install your new water bottle.
Recycle the empty bottle at your local exchange center to receive your next bottle at a discount.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Use the Self-Cleaning Ozone Feature
It is highly recommended that you use the self-cleaning feature on a weekly basis to sanitize tanks and water lines.
To activate the self-cleaning cycle, press in the self-cleaning switch (14), hold for 5 seconds, and release.

use_the_self-cleaning_ozone_feature_brio_water_dispenser_clbl520sc.png

The power indicator light on the front of the dispenser will begin blinking, indicating the cleaning process is underway.

During the cleaning cycle, ozone is produced and injected into the water system. This ozone kills bacteria and biofilms typically found in water dispensers. By the time the cleaning cycle ends, the ozone is converted to harmless oxygen and emitted into the air.

IMPORTANT: The cycle takes 90 minutes to complete. During this time do not dispense and drink the water. Doing so may result in an odd taste. For your convenience, we recommend that you do this during a period when the dispenser is not in use, such as overnight hours or when staff is away from the office. During the cycle you may smell a faint trace of ozone.

Keep this dispenser in a dry and cool place and avoid direct sunshine.
Ensure the back of the dispenser is at least 20 cm (8 in.) away from the wall.
Never put the dispenser on paper or foam, which may store water and then cause creepage. Never put anything flammable beside this machine.
Do not use the dispenser outdoors or in a place that can be splashed by water.
If the dispenser is not in use for longer than a 24-hour period, turn off the heating switch or the refrigerating switch to save power and drain any remaining water.
Clean your cabinet, controls, bottle probe and spout each time you change your water bottle. Use a clean soft cloth and a food grade sanitizer or bleach.
Empty and clean the drip tray, grid and float as needed.
