This document describes the Avalon A10-TL water dispenser, a device designed to provide hot, cold, and room temperature water. It is marketed as "The World's Most Reliable Water Coolers."

Function Description:

The Avalon A10-TL water dispenser is designed to meet the needs for tea, coffee, and cold water. It features distinctive thermal isolation technology to minimize thermal exchange between hot and cold water, ensuring efficient operation. The dispenser is intended for indoor use only and should be placed in a dry location away from direct sunlight. It is suitable for both 3 or 5 gallon water bottles.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual does not explicitly list detailed technical specifications such as power consumption, heating/cooling capacity, or dimensions. However, it does mention that the hot water dispenser heats water to approximately 185°F (85°C). The appliance should be kept in temperatures ranging from 50°F to 110°F (10°C to 43°C). It requires a properly grounded electrical outlet and should not be used with an extension cord. The water cooler must be plugged into a ground fault circuit interrupter receptacle. The refrigerant circuit should not be damaged.

Usage Features:

The dispenser features separate buttons for cold water, room temperature water, and hot water, each with its corresponding spout. Indicators light up when the machine is operating. To use, a water bottle is vertically inserted into the bottle receptacle on top. Before plugging in or turning on heating/cooling switches, water should be dispensed from both hot and cold spouts to ensure the inner tanks are filled. The machine should not be turned on until 3 minutes after turning off the power switch. If the machine is below freezing and blocked by ice, the cooling switch should be turned off for 4 hours before restarting. The thermostat is pre-adjusted and does not require user intervention. The appliance is suitable for use in households and similar applications such as kitchen areas in shops, offices, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments. Children aged 8 and above can use the appliance with supervision and instruction, and user maintenance should only be performed by children over 8 under supervision.

Maintenance Features:

Regular cleaning and sanitizing are crucial for the dispenser's proper functioning and hygiene.

Cleaning and Draining:
- Unplug the dispenser before cleaning.
- Insert a water bottle and dispense about 1 liter of water from the buttons.
- Remove the water bottle.
- Place a bucket under the drain outlet, remove the drain cover and plug, and allow water to drain completely.
- Replace the drain plug and cover.
- The manual warns that the hot water can cause severe scalding, so caution is advised.
Sanitizing:
- The machine is disinfected at the factory, but users may want to clean it before first use.
- Sanitizing should be done every three months using a disinfectant purchased separately, following its instructions, and then cleaning with water as per the draining instructions.
Mineral Deposit Removal:
- Every six months, mix 4 liters of water with 200g citric acid crystals.
- Inject this solution into the machine, ensuring it flows out of the hot water tap.
- Turn on the hot switch and heat for about 10 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, drain the liquid and clean the machine with water two or three times following the cleaning and draining instructions.

Safety Precautions:

The manual emphasizes several safety precautions:

Read the entire guide before assembly, installation, and operation to prevent injury or property damage.
The product dispenses very hot water; improper use can cause personal injury.
Use only known and microbiologically safe bottled water; do not use other liquids.
Install and use on a hard, flat, and level surface.
Do not place the dispenser in an enclosed space or cabinet.
Ensure proper airflow around the dispenser (at least 20cm from walls and sides).
Always grasp the plug to unplug; never pull the power cord.
Do not use if the cord is frayed or damaged.
Do not immerse the cord, plug, or any part of the dispenser in water or other liquids.
Ensure the dispenser is unplugged before cleaning.
Never allow children to dispense hot water without proper supervision; unplug the unit to prevent unsupervised use.
Service should only be performed by a certified technician.
Do not store explosive substances (e.g., aerosol cans with flammable propellant) in the appliance.
Never turn the machine upside down or lean it more than 45 degrees.
Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children under 8 years old.
Do not disassemble the machine yourself to avoid damage or danger.
The appliance is not suitable for installation in an area where a water jet could be used.
Do not turn on heating or cooling switches until water has been dispensed from the spouts.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
