DRAINING THE RESERVOIR

WARNING
To avoid any injury, turn the power OFF to the
unit and allow to cool before draining.
It is recommended that the Flav-R-Fresh
reservoir be drained prior to moving the cabinet and
after removing lime or mineral deposits from the
water reservoir.
To drain the reservoir, locate the valve on the
underside of the ceiling sheet. Position a one gallon
(four liter) container under the valve. Turn the valve
handle from the horizontal position (closed) to the
vertical position (open). Once the reservoir is empty,
return handle to the closed position.

containing over 3.0 GPG (0.75 GPL) will
decrease the efficiency and reduce the
operating life of the unit.
