### Materials You’ll Need:
– Ozark water dispenser
– Ozark water bottle
– Philips head screwdriver
### Step-by-Step Instructions:
#### 1. Unpack and Assemble the Dispenser:
– Remove the dispenser from its packaging and discard the box.
– Check if all necessary parts are included, such as the base, the tank, and the spout.
– Assemble the dispenser by inserting the tank into the base and aligning the spout with the tank.
– Tighten the screws using a Philips head screwdriver to secure the dispenser.
#### 2. Install the Water Bottle:
– Remove the cap from the Ozark water bottle.
– Turn the bottle upside down and align it with the opening on the top of the tank.
– Push the bottle firmly into the dispenser until it clicks into place.
– Make sure the bottle is inserted securely to prevent leaks.
#### 3. Prime the Dispenser:
– Once the bottle is installed, press the cold water button on the dispenser to prime it.
– This will allow the water to flow into the tank and fill the spout.
– Repeat the priming process with the hot water button to ensure both functions are working properly.
#### 4. Adjust the Temperature Settings (Optional):
– Some Ozark water dispensers come with adjustable temperature settings.
– Locate the temperature control knobs on the back or side of the dispenser.
– Turn the knobs to the desired temperature settings for cold and hot water.
– Once adjusted, test the water to ensure it is dispensing at the correct temperature.
#### 5. Clean and Sanitize the Dispenser (Optional):
– To maintain hygiene, it is recommended to clean and sanitize the dispenser regularly.
– Unplug the dispenser and remove the water bottle.
– Use a mild detergent mixed with warm water to clean the exterior and interior surfaces of the dispenser, including the tank and spout.
– Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
– Reinstall the water bottle and reconnect the dispenser to power.
### Troubleshooting Common Issues:
– Water not dispensing: Check if the bottle is properly inserted and ensure it is not empty. Prime the dispenser by pressing the cold water button several times.
– Leaking water: Make sure the water bottle is securely inserted and there are no cracks or damage to the tank or spout. Tighten the screws on the dispenser if necessary.
– Water not cold enough: Adjust the temperature control knob to a colder setting or consider storing the water bottle in the refrigerator for extra cooling.
– Water not hot enough: Check the hot water button to ensure it is functioning properly. Adjust the temperature control knob to a hotter setting or allow the water to heat up for a longer period.
– Bad taste: Flush the dispenser by running water through the system for several minutes. Clean and sanitize the dispenser to remove any impurities or residue.
### Additional Tips:
– Use filtered water for optimal taste and performance.
– Replace the water bottle regularly to prevent bacteria buildup.
