CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

For maximum efficiency and performance, your water dispenser requires cleaning on a regular basis (ie. every 6 months).
Regular cleaning will prevent potential growth of bacteria and will maintain a hygienic environment. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning The Waterways
1. Open the lower compartment storage door to prevent activation of the water pump. Take 8 cups (2 L) of water from the cold faucet.
2. Make sure the power cord is plugged into electrical outlet.
3. IMPORTANT: Turn OFF the hot tank switch before performing this procedure.
4. Using a clean container, mix 4 cups (1 L) of white vinegar with 4 cups (1 L) of hot water. Place the container on the floor of the
bottle storage compartment. Insert the stainless siphon tube into the cleaning solution, keeping the container upright, and close
the storage door. The water pump will start automatically and draw the cleaning solution into the dispenser reservoirs. When all of
the cleaning solution has been drawn, the pump will continue to operate for about 20 seconds, followed by a flashing yellow light.
Simply open the storage door to cancel the flashing light. Allow the cleaning solution to sit inside the dispenser for 20 minutes.
5. Place a container under the dispensing spigots and press both the hot and cold dispensing buttons until the cleaning solution stops
flowing. Discard cleaning solution.
6. Using a container, drain the remaining cleaning solution from the internal reservoirs by unscrewing the drain cap and removing the
drain plug from the drain valve located at the back of the unit. Discard the cleaning solution.
7. Re-install the drain plug and drain cap on the unit and flush the system using 16 cups (4 L) clean water (no cleaning solution). Follow
the same steps outlined in #4. Press the hot faucet to fill up the hot tank. Once water flows from the hot faucet, allow pump to run
until it stops. Place container under drain valve and remove drain cap and drain plug, allowing rinse water to drain. When the rinse
water stops flowing, re-install the drain plug and drain cap and tighten. The cleaning process is now complete.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
To remove the drip tray (Fig. 8), pull the tray forward, dislodging it from the guides. Drain and clean.
The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to remove spotting and any mineral deposits. Clean with cleaning solution
or a mild soap and water mixture. For tough deposits, add vinegar and let it soak until the deposits loosen. Then wash, rinse and dry
throughly. Replace the grill on the drip tray and slide it onto the guides.
Cleaning the Condenser
Vacuum or sweep away the dust from the condenser coils at the back of the dispenser. This will improve cooling and efficiency.
Draining the Reservoirs
Drain reservoirs before and after cleaning and when the dispenser is not used for a long period of time.
IMPORTANT! Unplug the dispenser before performing this procedure.
Dispense hot water until temperature drops to a safe level to avoid the risk of scalding.
1. Remove the water bottle.
2. Press all 3 dispense buttons until water no longer comes out.
IMPORTANT: Collect the water in a container, not the drip tray.
3. Place a container beneath the drain valve on the back of the dispenser.
4. Remove the cap and plug from the drain valve, allowing the water to
flow into the container.
5. Replace the cap and plug.
6. Replace the water bottle. (See Initial Set-Up.)
NOTE: To conserve energy when not using the dispenser for a long period of time,
unplug the dispenser and drain the reservoirs. (See Draining the Reservoirs.)
Follow Initial Product Cleaning Procedures upon return and start the dispenser.
