## How to Install a Brio Water Dispenser
### Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Materials
Before you begin the installation, gather the following tools and materials:
Brio water dispenser
Adjustable wrench
Philips screwdriver
Drill with 1/4-inch drill bit
Level
Pencil or marker
Screws (provided with the dispenser)
### Step 2: Choose a Location for the Dispenser
Select a location for the dispenser that is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat. Ensure that there is adequate space around the dispenser for access and maintenance.
### Step 3: Install the Mounting Plate
Place the mounting plate against the wall at the desired height. Use a level to ensure that the plate is level.
Mark the locations of the screw holes on the wall with a pencil or marker.
Drill four 1/4-inch holes at the marked locations.
Insert the screws provided with the dispenser into the holes and tighten them using an adjustable wrench.
### Step 4: Hang the Dispenser
Lift the dispenser and carefully hang it on the mounting plate. Ensure that the dispenser is securely attached to the plate.
### Step 5: Connect the Water Supply
Locate the water supply line under the sink.
Turn off the water supply using the shut-off valve.
Connect the water supply line to the inlet valve on the back of the dispenser using the provided fitting. Tighten the fitting securely using an adjustable wrench.
### Step 6: Turn on the Water Supply
Turn on the water supply at the shut-off valve.
Check for any leaks at the connection points. Tighten any loose connections as necessary.
### Step 7: Prime the Dispenser
Open the cold water tap on the dispenser and allow it to run for several minutes. This will prime the dispenser and remove any air from the system.
### Step 8: Install the Drip Tray
Place the drip tray on the bottom of the dispenser. Ensure that the tray is properly aligned and secure.
### Step 9: Turn on the Dispenser
Plug the dispenser into a grounded electrical outlet.
Press the power button to turn on the dispenser.
### Step 10: Adjust the Temperature
Use the temperature control buttons on the front of the dispenser to adjust the temperature of the hot and cold water.
### Troubleshooting Tips
If you encounter any issues during the installation or operation of your Brio water dispenser, follow these troubleshooting tips:
Water not cold enough: Ensure that the cold water setting is set to the desired temperature. Check for any blockages or kinks in the water supply line.
Water not hot enough: Ensure that the hot water setting is set to the desired temperature. Check if the heating element is working properly by pressing the “hot water” button and listening for a clicking sound.
No water flow: Check if the water supply is turned on. Ensure that the inlet valve on the dispenser is properly connected to the water supply line.
Leakage: Check for any loose connections at the water supply or drip tray. Tighten any loose fittings or replace any damaged parts.
### Tips for Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance of your Brio water dispenser, follow these maintenance tips:
Replace the water filter every 6 months to remove impurities and ensure clean drinking water.
Clean the drip tray regularly to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
Descale the dispenser every 3-6 months using a descaling solution to remove mineral deposits.
If the dispenser is not used for an extended period of time, drain the water from the system and unplug the dispenser.
