Important Safeguards; Grounding Instructions - vitapur VWD9506W-POU Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

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 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 reservoir system, activation/operation of the hot water heating system is not
possible. Likewise, if the hot water heating is operational and water is being drawn simultaneously causing water levels
to drop below safe levels, hot water tank operation is automatically terminated until normal water levels are restored, at
which time you must "manually" re-activate the hot water heating system by pressing the kettle feature (red) button.
NOTE: Operation of the cold water system is not affected by this safety feature.
