OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Initial Product Cleaning Procedure
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
1-866-253-0447 or can be ordered on line at www.greenwayhp.com.
1. Make sure the unit is unplugged.
2. Remove the bottle support collar, saturate a clean cloth with a vitapur
water dispenser cleaner or vinegar and wipe the inside of the reservoir.
3. Pour the vitapur water dispenser cleaner or a mixture of 4 cups / 1L of
®
vinegar with 4 cups / 1L of hot water into the reservoir and wait 20 minutes.
IMPORTANT: To avoid water overflowing while cleaning the dispenser,
always remove the bottle support collar before pouring water or the cleaning
solution into the reservoir (see Figure A).
4. Press/hold all dispensing buttons until water stops flowing from the spigot.
5. Place the unit over the sink and drain both internal reservoirs by removing the spring clamps and caps from both
drain outlets located on the bottom of the unit.
6. Rinse again with clean water, re-install the drain outlet caps and spring clamps.
7. Place bottle support collar back on top of dispenser.
Installing the Water Bottle
IMPORTANT: Always wash your hands first! Clean the top (neck) of the bottle with a clean cloth and do not touch
the part of the unit that the water touches. Make sure the unit is unplugged. The water bottle can be purchased
from your local bottled water distributor or most grocery stores.
1. Remove the protective cap from the end of the water bottle unless the bottle has a puncturable cap or sticker.
2. Lift and turn the bottle upside down, placing it securely on the bottle support collar.
3. Press and hold all dispenser buttons until water flows from the dispenser. Drain about 4 cups / 1L of water before
initial use. This does not need to be repeated with replacement bottles.
4. Plug in the water dispenser.
5. Ready-to-dispense indicator lights will illuminate when the water reaches optimum temperature and is ready for
use. In order to get steaming hot water, the (on demand) Kettle Feature button must be activated and the "red"
indicator light will start flashing (see Dispensing Hot Water, pg 4).
ANTI-lEAk BOTTlE SUPPORT COllAR
The bottle support collar on your water dispenser is engineered with a special anti-leak-proof system to prevent
accidental loss of water, (flooding) as a result of inadvertently installing a defective water bottle. Unfortunately, not all
water bottles are created equal. Almost all 3 and 5 gallon (12 &19L) water bottles are recycled and handled extensively
during cleaning, filling, and shipping. As a result, they are very prone to developing hairline fractures and pinhole leaks
that are not always obvious to the end user until the time of installation.
IMPORTANT: Never knowingly install a defective water bottle on a water dispenser. Return immediately for
replacement.
