The Vertex PureWaterCooler™ products are a means to produce good-tasting, safe water without using bottles of stored water. The PureChill model PWC-9500 described here is made for floor-standing use. Please read all the instructions in this manual before operating the PureWater- Cooler™.
3.0 Description 3.1 Assembly The countertop portion of the PWC-9500 assembly drawing is shown in Figure 1. The cooler has one chilling chamber and one hot tank. This chilling chamber holds one gallon of water and is automatically filled at start-up. This water is cooled in the chilling chamber with refrigerant coils.
3.2 Rear View On the back of the cooler are the main power switches; one for heat- ing and one for cooling. When heating or cooling is occurring, indicator lights on the front panel will turn on. The hot temperature is fixed at a nominal 180°F and is controlled with a thermostat mounted on the outside of the hot tank.
4.0 Installation 4.1 Assembly of Countertop to Cabinet Identify the four depressions on the top of the base cabinet where the four feet of the cooler will locate. Lift the cooler and placed it on top of the cabi- net, aligning the feet of the cooler to the previously located depressions. 4.2 Positioning the Cooler There are some precautions to take when positioning and using the PureWaterCooler™.

Figure 4b Installation Precautions 4.3 Cooler Water Connections When received, the water connections on the back of both the cooler and the cabinet have color coded tube sections with red shipping caps on them.
4.4 Feed Water Connections To connect the feed water, use the supplied self-piercing saddle valve to con- nect to the cold water supply line under the sink. Attach the 1/4” tubing to the compres- sion fitting on the side of the valve. Clamp the saddle valve over the copper or plastic feed line (cold water only).
4.5 Quick Connect Fittings The standard tubing connections on the PureWaterCooler™ are of Quick Connect O-ring seal design and manufacture. Use the tubing and follow the instructions below to make the connections. If you cut the tubing make sure it is a square cut, fits squarely in the fitting, and seals properly.

5.0 Operation 5.1 Start Up a. Connect feed water line and all tubing according to instructions. If cabinet does not have filtration system installed, skip to step e. Open door of cabi- net to expose filtration system. Turn the water on at the piercing valve or feed water valve.
System Flush: It is recommended to flush both the cold and hot systems by dispensing 16-32 ounces of water out of each at Initial start-up. First press and hold the cold dispense button until 16-32 oz have been dispensed. Then press hot lock until beep and then press and hold hot dispense button until 16- 32 oz of water have been dispensed.
5.2 Tank Drain Occasionally, it may be desirable to drain both tanks, the hot tank and chilling chamber. There are drain plugs on the back of the cooler. See Figure 8. First, make sure all power is off. The cooler must be moved so that the wa- ter can be drained into a container to collect the water (about 1 1/4 gal).
7.0 Filter Replacement The filter elements must be replaced at regular intervals to maintain the quality of the water. The “F” Model 9500F has 2-stages of mechanical filtration, the “R” model 9500R has 2-stages of mechanical filtration plus additional RO membrane. The fil- ters are accessed through the lower front door panel.

(see diag.11) If water leaks to the base of the cooler cabinet, the mechanical leak detector valve will close and shut off the feed water to the filters and the cooler.
8.1 Electronic Leak Detection system The electronic water leak detection system is installed in the rear left had corner of the cooler. If a water leak should occur inside the cooler and wa- ter collects in the leak probe tray the power will automatically be shut off. When power is cut off due to water leak: a.
