Maintenance

Completely automatic, the unit requires minimum attention and maintenance. For satisfactory performance, periodical checking and cleaning are necessary.

Cooling Tank

It is essential to drain out water from the cooling tank and flush it once every one or two months. Failure to do this periodically, may result in brown stains on the tanks which will be difficult to remove at a later stage.

The most convenient time to clean your dispenser is when a bottle is empty. Before you start cleaning the reservoir of your Water Dispenser, it is suggested to have the following items handy:

• Clean rubber gloves, paper towels or other clean, dry cloth or towels.
• Clean dish-type scrub brush with a long handle to help you to reach the bottom of the reservoir.
• Plastic scrubbing pad. Never use steel wool or other abrasives on your reservoir.
• Measuring spoon, one teaspoon volume: One normal teaspoon to take out mild detergent for cleaning.
• Calibrated container e.g., a bucket: Any container with litre volume measurement marks.
• Non-chloride-based mild cleaning agent/disinfectant. Never use metal scrubbers, scouring powder, harsh soaps, wax or polish on the plastic parts.

Now take the following steps to clean the tank:

1. Unplug the cord. If there is an empty bottle on top fo the dispenser, carefully lift off the bottle and store it away. However, if there is water in the bottle, make sure you cap the bottle or cover the bottle top to keep dirt or debris from falling into the bottle.
2. Once you have removed the bottle, check to seer whether there is removable baffle. If there is one, remove it. Check for a plastic top and remove it.
3. At this point you should be able to see inside the reservoir. If there is water remaining in the reservoir, drain it out. If you like, you can save the water for future use.
4. Prepare a cleaning solution in the calibrated container with a concentration of one teaspoon of mild detergent per litre. The minimum volume prepared should be 3 to 4 litres; some dispenser reservoirs may require a larger volume.
5. Fill the reservoir with the prepared solution.
6. Wearing clean rubber gloves, use the scrub brush to clean the inside of the reservoir with the clening solution. Wet the same brush again, scrub the baffle and place it upside down in the reservoir, clean the faucet(s), body, handles, and outlets.
7. Let the cleaning solution stand in the reservoir for five minutes.
8. Rinse and dry the baffle, drain all the cleaning solution from the dispenser throught the faucet(s), and replace the baffle in the reservoir. Using clear and clean water, rinse the reservoir thoroughly, draining water through the faucet(s) several times until there is no evidence of chlorine taste and/or odour. Close it with the plastic top. Plug the dispenser back and allow at least twenty minutes for the water to reach the appropriate temperature.

Now you can dry the outlet of the dispenser, and place a clean, full bottle on top. If you have followed these steps, you'll have a clean dispenser.

Do not use bleach for units with hot water tanks. Use the hot water cleaning procedure only. The suggested frequency for cleaning your dispenser is every change of a bottle or every six weeks.

Static Condenser

The efficiency of the Water Dispenser is drastically affected if the condenser is clogged with lint or dust. To maintain free circulation of air over the condenser, it should be cleaned every fortnight with a small brush.

Long period shutdowns

If the Water Dispenser is to be kept out of service for over a week, or a longer period, shit off the water supply, empty the tank and remove the bottle from the top. Also, disconnect the plug from the electrical socket.
