CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
General Cleaning
General cleaning should be performed as needed and only takes five minutes or less.
1. Clean the cabinet surfaces using a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse.
2. Wipe dust in the back of the water cooler to improve efficiency.
3. Remove drip tray cover and hand wash. Take a cloth and warm,
soapy water to rinse the inside of the drip tray. Rinse.
4. Reattach drip tray.
Cleaning Water Lines & Reservoirs
Cleaning the water lines is recommended to happen once every three months.
NOTE: Recommended to do before loading a new 3 or 5 gallon jug.
1. Unplug power cord from outlet.
2. Remove water cooler bottle.
3. Remove the siphon pump and clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse.
4. Fill water cooler jug with a mixture of water and bleach and let it sit for 30 minutes.
5. Install the water bottle filled with cleaning solution and allow the reservoir to fill with
the solution. Let the mixture sit for five to 10 minutes to disinfect the reservoir.
6. Drain the cleaning mixture by dispensing it from both taps into a bowl or pitcher.
7. Refill your empty water bottle with clean water and allow to fill the reservoir
again. Drain again through the spigots. If you detect a vinegar taste or
chlorine taste, add another two gallons of clean water, drain and retest.
8. Install a new bottle of water and plug in the power cord into grounded outlet.
Descaling
If you use spring (mineral) water you will need to de-scale your hot
water tank. Heated spring (mineral) water will cause minerals to fall
out. Eventually they will plug up your waterways, resulting in a gradual
slowdown of the flow rate, leaking faucets, and other problems.
Descaling Solutions
Cooking vinegar is proven to remove calcium deposits efficiently.
Depending on the frequency of decalcification treatments, please
use the following proportions of White Vinegar.
• For descaling once every three months, use two cups (500
ml) of white vinegar with 2.5 liters of hot water.
