1. Set both power switches (on the back of the dispenser) in the
0 (off) position and unplug the dispenser.
2. Remove the water bottle from the dispenser.
3. Put a container that will withstand hot water under the hot
water tap. Press the HOT dispenser button until the water is
cool (about 1 quart). Add water to the cold water reservoir
(on top where the bottle supplies water) as needed.
4. Dispense water from both buttons into container(s) until
no more water can be dispensed (about 1 quart of water still
remains in the dispenser).
5. Place a large bucket beneath the drain outlet on the rear of
the dispenser.
6. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screws on the bracket
covering the drain outlet cap. Rotate the bracket out of the way
to allow access to the cap.
7. Remove the cap and silicon stopper from the drain outlet and
and allow water to drain. After draining, replace the stopper
and cap.
8. Rotate the bracket back into place and tighten screws.
Make sure to install a full bottle and dispense water from the
hot water tap before plugging in and turning on the dispenser
(see Loading the Dispenser).
Cleaning the Outside and Storage Cabinet
IMPORTANT: Set both power switches (on the
back of the dispenser) in the 0 (off) position and
unplug the water dispenser before cleaning.
The inside and outside of the cabinet can
be washed with mild soap and water. Rinse
thoroughly with clear water. Never use
commercial cleaners or abrasive scouring
powders.
Cleaning the Drip Tray and Grille
The dispenser drip tray is not self-draining.
To reduce water spotting or deposits, the tray
and its grille should be emptied, cleaned and
wiped dry regularly.
