Installation & Operation
Installation
Unpacking
Your Blue Star dealers technician will unpack your Blue Star Water
Cooler carefully and check for any external transit damage.
He will remove the bottom panel of the machine by removing the holding
bolts from underneath.
He will also inspect the condensing unit and refrigerant piping, by removing
the service panel provided on the front side of the Water Cooler.
To reduce the risk of damage in transit, the water faucet(s) is are packed
separately along with the drip tray and kept inside the tank.
Location
Your Blue Star dealers technician will find a suitable location for the
unit. However the following points will be of interest to you.
Water Cooler Installation layout
10
WATER-COOLER
The Water Cooler should be placed where there is free circulation of
fresh air.
It should be accessible from all the sides. It should be installed about
300mm away from the rear wall.
It is important that the Water Cooler should be levelled to floor with
proper alignment.
The Water Cooler should preferably be installed on a raised platform
to facilitate cleaning and easier servicing.
Plumbing
The faucet(s) and the drip tray shall be installed in position by the
Blue Star dealers technician.
The drip tray is mounted in position under the water faucet(s) with the
help of chrome-plated / stainless steel screws.
Plumbing connections shall be as per the diagrams on pages 6 & 8.
You are required to provide a 1/2 water supply line terminating in a
1/2 (BSP) fitting through a stopcock preferably 1.0 meter from the floor.
Preferably 1/2 flexible PVC tube is to be used to connect the wate
supply line to the inlet of the Water Cooler.
After the drip tray is fitted on to the Water-cooler a 3/4 flexible tube,
which is provided with the Water-cooler, is connected to the drain connection.
A drain/suitable connection to the drain needs to be provided, by you,
at floor level to collect the waste water.
The inlet water supply pressure must not be more than 3kg/cm
2
(about 30 meter water head). If the maximum water head exceeds 30m,
an online pressure reducing valve should be used in the water inlet
supply line.
Water Filter (Optional)
In case you would like to use a water filter, it needs to be installed in
the water supply line between the shut-off valve and the Water Cooler.
11
USERS MANUAL
Please check if sufficient water pressure is available for the filter to
function satisfactorily.
Electrical connections
All internal electric wiring has been completed at the factory.
You have only to provide a power point of 15 Ampere rating, a three pin
plug and a fuse.
Your electrician must use a line fuse rated at almost twice the full load
amperage rating of the machine as shown on the data plate.
The power point should be placed within one meter of the Water Cooler.
To prevent the possibility of any eletric shock, earthing of the unit is
essential.
Please ensure that the electric line is not overloaded because of connecting
other appliances.
The Water Cooler is capable of running on AC 230V+10%, Single phase,
50Hz supply. In case the supply is erratic in your area, you will need to
provide an automatic voltage stabiliser.
StartUp
Clean the tank and flush with water.
Open water shut-off valve and allow the tank to fill up. Ensure that the
float valve closes when the water level reaches about 40mm below the
inlet.
The thermostat position should be approximately in the middle of its
range.
Now switch on power to the unit.
Cold water should be drawn only after the unit stops automatically
on the initial run.
12
WATER-COOLER
Operation
The operation of the machine is completely automatic. During the initial
run of the Water Cooler, it is advisable to not draw out cold water till the
unit has stopped automatically.
When the preset temperature of water is reached in the tank, the unit
will stop automatically, through the action of the thermostat.
You may need to adjust the thermostat setting to obtain desired water
temperature, but it is advisable not to adjust the thermostat frequently.
The thermostat controls the water temperature between 7
o
C and 22
o
C.
In all models the thermostat is located at the rear.
As water is drawn for use, the float valve will admit fresh water into the
tank. This will raise the temperature of the water in the tank. The thermostat
will automatically set the unit into operation. The float valve will automatically
maintain a predetermined water level, and should it get stuck and remain
open for any reason, the excess water will flow out from the overflow
pipe.
Notes
Condensing Unit
For silent operation of your Water Cooler, the hermetic compressor used
is internally spring-mounted and the condensor fan motor is mounted
on a resilient base.
Compressor Lubrication
Before leaving the factory, every unit carries the correct charge of refrigerant
and lubricating oil. Except for an accidental leak, no additional charge
of refrigerant or oil is required.
Overload Protection
The motor compressor unit is equipped with a thermal overload protector.
13
USERS MANUAL
Maintenance
Your Blue Star Water Cooler requires minimum attention and maintenance.
However, in order that the unit may continue to give satisfactory performance,
periodical checking and cleaning are necessary. A check list is given
below.
1. General Upkeep: The finish on your Blue Star Water Cooler will last
longer if it is well cared for.
Do not allow the cabinet panels to be banged or scratched.
Every three months, have the panels polished with a good wax
polish.
2. Cooling Tank: It is essential to drain out water from the cooling tank
and flush it every 10 to 15 days.
During the cleaning process, the unit should be switched off.
All Water Coolers are provided with Stainless Steel tanks. The tank
can be accessed by unscrewing the top lid.
The tank should be cleaned with a mild detergent. Failure to do this
periodically will result in brown stains on the tank which will be
difficult to remove at a later stage.
3. Air-cooled Condensor: The efficiency of the Water Cooler is
drastically affected if the condensor is clogged with lint or dust.
In order to maintain free circulation of air over the condensor, it
should be cleaned periodically with a small brush that can get between
the fins.
Better still, suck the dust and lint out with a vacuum cleaner or use
an air blower.
4. Water Filter (Optional): The filtering element which is replaceable
should be periodically renewed. If the element is not renewed when
clogged with foreign matter, water supply is liable to get chocked
and unsatisfactory operation would result.
14
WATER-COOLER
5. Lubrication: The fan motor bearings are of self lubricating type.
Should there be any hard movement of the fan shaft, lubricate it
with SAE30 oil.
6. Long-Period Shutdowns: If the Water Cooler is to be kept out of
service for a week, or a longer period, shut off the water supply and
disconnect the plug from the electrical socket.
15
USERS MANUAL
Dos & Donts
Dos ()
Remove the plastic film as soon as you install the Water Cooler.
Clean the dirt accumulated over condensor every fortnight.
Choose the right temperature to avoid over cooling.
Clean the tank every fortnight with mild detergent.
Fill the machine when water tank is half empty.
Donts ()
Do not keep Water Cooler exposed to direct sun rays or very close
to wall.
Avoid keeping unit in excessively heated areas.
Do not adjust cooling thermostat frequently. Please allow unit to run
for 20 minutes between consecutive settings.
Do not run machine without water.
Do not use metal scrubber, harsh soaps, iron brush for tank
cleaning.
Do not switch on unit immediately after switching it off. Wait for
3 minutes.
Do not rotate the faucet knob, as it is a press type faucet, in case
of SDIx and NST Water Coolers.
