Adjust temperature.
The manufacturer recommends using copper tubing
for installation.
See Connecting the Water Supply.

to chill.
Discard first glass of water and refill.

harmless carbon dust flushed from cartridge. Particles
are safe for consumption. Will disappear after the first
few uses.
Particles are not harmful and naturally occur in water
supplies.

breaker for blown fuse or tripped breaker. Replace or
reset.

indicated at outlet, replace or repair.
Check input voltage for proper voltage. Take
appropriate action to correct voltage supply problem.
Check all connections are tight and secure. Replace if
necessary.
Check relay. Replace if necessary.
Check compressor motor windings for opens/shorts.
Perform compressor direct wiring test. Replace if
necessary.
Check overload for continuity. Ensure
compressor/overload are below trip temperature
before testing. Replace if necessary.
