Thank you for purchasing a vitapur® Water Dispenser. Please read the enclosed
operating instructions carefully and retain this booklet for future reference. We have
carefully engineered your vitapur® Water Dispenser to give you years of enjoyment and
trouble free operation.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: This water dispenser is designed for indoor applications only. DO NOT use outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your vitapur® water dispenser is designed with a special "safety" feature (float switch
mechanism) that controls activation/operation of the Kettle Feature hot water tank heating system. If no water is
present and/or low water levels are detected inside the internal water reservoir, activation/operation of the
Kettle Feature hot water heating system is not possible. Likewise, if the hot water heating system is operational and
water is being drawn simultaneously causing internal water levels to drop below the established minimal level set
point, hot water tank operation is automatically suspended. To reactivate the hot water heating system, you must
replenish your water supply.
NOTE: Operation of the cold water system is not affected by this safety feature.
• Never turn the dispenser upside down or tilt more than 45 degrees. If the unit has been resting on its' side for an
extended period of time, place the water dispenser in the upright position for approximately 12 hours before turning it on.
• For use with 3 or 5 gallon (12 or 19 liter) water bottles and most water filtration systems (not included).
• Never use this dispenser with water that is unsafe to drink or is from an unknown source.
• Never use any other liquid in the dispenser other than known and microbiologically safe bottled water.
• Never allow children to dispense hot water without proper and direct supervision.
• This water dispenser is equipped with a grounded power cord plug for your safety.
• Keep your water dispenser in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Never put anything flammable close to the dispenser.
• Leave a minimum of 2" (5 cm) around the back and sides of the dispenser for proper ventilation.
• Always install your water dispenser on a level floor. Wait 3 minutes before
restarting machine after shutting it down.
• Always unplug the water dispenser before servicing or cleaning it.
• Regular cleaning of your water dispenser is required for your warranty.
Please follow the cleaning instructions outlined in this manual and clean the
dispenser every 4 months.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock causing serious injury, even death.
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug and must be
connected into a properly grounded polarized outlet. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If the wall outlet is a
standard 2 prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord plug.
• Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.
• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install
an electrical outlet near the appliance.
