Care and Cleaning

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 cleaning kit is available through our Customer Service Department at
1-877-527-0313 or can be ordered online at www.homedepot.com.
WarninG: Unplug the dispenser before performing any of the following cleaning procedures.
cLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE WATER DISPENSER
The outside of the dispenser can be wiped clean with 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 the drip tray, 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 a water dispenser cleaning solution (not included) 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
drip 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.
CaUTiOn: Unplug the dispenser before performing this procedure. Dispense hot water until temperature drops to a safe level to avoid
the risk of scalding.
□ Remove the water bottle.
□ Press both dispensing buttons until water no longer comes out.
□ Place a bucket beneath the drain valve on the back of the dispenser.
□ 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.
□ Replace the water bottle (see "Installing the Water Bottle").
GOING AWAY ON vAcATION
When not using the dispenser for long periods of time, or when going on vacation, conserve energy by unplugging the dispenser and drain-
ing the reservoirs (see "Draining the Reservoirs"). Upon return, follow the initial product cleaning procedures before using the dispenser.
