Cleaning the Outside of the Water Dispenser
The outside of the dispenser can be wiped clean with a water dispenser cleaning solution
or a mild soap and water mixture. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water and then dry surfaces.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
To remove, take the grill off the tray and firmly lift the
tray up, 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
water dispenser cleaning solution or a mild soap and
water mixture. For tough deposits, add vinegar and let it
soak until the deposits come loose. Then wash, rinse and dry thoroughly. To replace, put the
grill back on the tray and slide the tray onto the guides (not dishwasher safe).
Cleaning the Condenser
Vacuum or sweep away the dust from the condenser
coils at the back of the dispenser. For best results,
you can purchase a brush designed specifically for
this purpose from your local appliance store. This will
improve cooling and efficiency.
Draining the Reservoirs
Drain the reservoirs before and after cleaning, when
going on long vacations or if not using the dispenser for
long periods of time.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you unplug the dispenser and
switch off the heating power switch at the rear of the
unit before performing this procedure.
1.
Remove the water bottle.
2.
Press both dispensing taps until water no longer comes out.
3.
Place a bucket beneath the drain valve on the back of the dispenser.
4.
Remove the cap and plug from the drain valve and let the water flow into the bucket.
Replace the cap and plug.
(A screwdriver or coin can be used to help loosen the drain cap.)
IMPORTANT:
Collect the water in a container, not the drip tray.
5.
Replace the water bottle (see Installing the Water Bottle).
Cleaning the Inside of the Dispenser
To prevent mineral deposits that can affect the taste and flow of the water and to ensure
proper product performance, your water dispenser must cleaned every 4 months.
1.
Unplug the power cord and switch off the heating power switch at the
rear of the unit.
2.
Remove the water bottle and bottle support collar.
3.
Drain the reservoirs (see Draining the Reservoirs).
4.
Pour a water dispenser cleaner or a mixture 4 cups / 1L of
vinegar with 4 cups / 1 L of hot water into the reservoir and wait 20
minutes. If using a water dispenser cleaning solution, please follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
