Safety Precautions:
Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the water and dispenser.
Use only clean containers for the water.
Do not fill the dispenser beyond its maximum capacity line.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Gather your materials: Ensure you have a gallon of water and a clean water dispenser.
2. Remove the cap of the water gallon: Twist the cap counterclockwise to loosen it and remove it from the gallon.
3. Position the gallon on the dispenser: Locate the designated spot on the dispenser where the gallon should be placed. Carefully align the gallon’s opening with the dispenser’s inlet.
4. Lift the gallon and insert it into the dispenser: Use both hands to lift the gallon gently and insert it into the dispenser. Make sure the gallon is fully inserted and sitting securely on the base.
5. Replace the cap on the dispenser: Once the gallon is in place, replace the cap on the dispenser by twisting it clockwise until it is secure.
6. Activate the dispenser: Turn on the water dispenser by pressing the appropriate button or lever. Ensure water flows smoothly from the dispenser into a clean glass or pitcher.
Tips:
If the gallon does not fit snugly on the dispenser, gently squeeze the sides of the gallon to create a better fit.
If the gallon is heavy, ask for assistance to lift and place it on the dispenser.
Keep the dispenser and gallon clean to prevent contamination.
Dispose of empty gallons responsibly.
