OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Initial Product Cleaning Procedure
Like most appliances, your water dispenser requires periodic maintenance for
maximum efficiency and performance and must be cleaned on a regular basis
(i.e. every 4 months). To maintain a hygienic environment within your water
dispenser and prevent potential formation (growth) of bacteria, we strongly
recommend regular cleaning. A Vitapur

Maintaining Your Water Dispenser
Like most appliances, your new water dispenser requires regular cleaning to operate efficiently. Your water dispenser must
be cleaned every 4 months (see procedure on pg. 5).
Installing the Water Bottle
IMPORTANT: Always wash your hands first! Clean the top (neck) of the bottle with a clean cloth and do not touch
the part of the unit that the water touches. Make sure the unit is unplugged.
1. Remove the protective cap from the end of the water bottle unless the bottle has a puncturable cap or sticker.
2. Lift and turn the bottle upside down, placing it securely on the bottle support collar. Allow the piercing valve in the
center of the bottle support collar to puncture the plastic membrane in the bottle cap.
3. Press and hold both dispenser taps until water flows from the dispenser. Drain about 4 cups / 1 L of water before
initial use. This does not need to be repeated with replacement bottles.
4. Plug in the water dispenser.
5. It may take approximately 1 hour before the cold water reaches optimum temperature. To change the water
temperature see adjusting the temperature - cold water only.
