Care and cleaning of the dispenser.

To Sanitize:

1. Before cleaning, set both power switches (on the

back of the dispenser) in the O (off) position and

unplug the water dispenser. NOTE: For first time

installation, skip steps 2–4.

2. Empty the water bottle, then remove it from the dispenser.

3. Drain the water tanks (see Draining the Dispenser).

4. Reinstall the silicon stopper and drain cap (on floor models)

or the drain cover and retaining clip (on countertop models)

(see Draining the Dispenser).

5. DO NOT ADD BLEACH FIRST OR DIRECTLY TO THE DISPENSER.

Concentrated bleach may damage plastic.

Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of ordinary 6.0% maximum

household bleach to a 2 quart (2 liter) pitcher filled with

tap water.

6. Pour the solution in the opening at the top of the

dispenser.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the dispenser is full.

8. Press the hot and cold dispenser buttons until the water

just begins to flow from the taps.

9. Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes.

10. Rinse out the bleach solution:

— Drain the water tanks into a large bucket (floor models)

or sink (countertop models) (see Draining the Dispenser).

— Make sure that the silicon stopper (floor models) or

drain cover (countertop models) is NOT installed.

— IMPORTANT: Remove the separator and wipe out the cold

water reservoir (see Cleaning the Separator).

— Clean, then reinstall the separator and collar (see

Cleaning the Separator).

— Pour approximately 1 gallon (4 quarts or 4 liters) of

fresh tap water into the top and allow to drain into the

bucket (floor models) or sink (countertop models).

— Flush with an additional 1 gallon (4 quarts or 4 liters)

of fresh tap water and allow to drain into the bucket

(floor models) or sink (countertop models).

11. Reinstall the silicon stopper and drain cap (on floor models)

or the drain cover and retaining clip (on countertop models)

(see Draining the Dispenser).

12. Install a fresh water bottle (see Loading the Dispenser).

13. Dispense 1 quart (1 liter) of water from each tap and taste to

make sure the bleach solution is completely removed.

If you continue to taste the chlorine from the bleach solution,

repeat steps 10–13 until the taste is gone.

14. Plug in the dispenser. Then turn the HOT

and COLD power switches (on the back of the

dispenser) to the I (on) position.

Sanitizing and Cleaning the Water Tanks

IMPORTANT: Periodically the water dispenser tanks must be sanitized to prevent unpleasant tastes in the water and cleaned to

remove mineral deposits that can impair flow.

IMPORTANT: Set both power switches (on the

back of the dispenser) in the 0 (off) position and

unplug the water dispenser before cleaning.

1. Remove the water bottle and drain the

dispenser (see Draining the Dispenser).

2. Remove the support collar by turning

counterclockwise and pulling straight off.

3. Remove the plastic separator by pulling

straight out (you may need to twist slightly

to loosen).

4. Clean the separator with dish soap

and water or in the top rack of the

dishwasher.

5. Dry the separator thoroughly on

both sides.

6. Using a clean cloth or paper towel,

thoroughly dry the cold water reservoir.

7. Place the separator back in the dispenser.

Make sure the long, tapered end of the

separator is positioned firmly on the metal

plug on the bottom of the reservoir.

8. Replace the support collar and turn

clockwise until it is firmly in place.

9. Install a full water bottle on the dispenser

(see Loading the Dispenser).
