Unpack the Water Cooler

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
water cooler and bottles.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT:
Allow the water cooler to stand upright for a minimum of
1 hour after unpacking it and before plugging it into an
electrical outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle properly
and avoids damage to the cooling system.
Remove the plastic bag and discard.
Remove tape from drip tray and discard.
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
