READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING Refrigerant Disposal
Your old water dispenser may have used a regulated refrigerant in its cooling system. These refrigerants are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing away your old dispenser, make sure the refrigerant
is removed and recovered for proper disposal by an EPA-certified technician. If you intentionally release this
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.
WARNING Read all safety information before use.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the
outside of the dispenser. They could tip the dispenser
over and damage it, as well as injure themselves.
• This dispenser is equipped with a grounded power
cord plug for your safety.
• Do not operate this (or any other appliance) with
a damaged power cord. Be sure that the plug is
fully inserted into the GFCI outlet and that no other
appliance is plugged into the same outlet.
• Do not run the power cord under carpeting or other
heat insulators, and do not cover it. Avoid laying the
cord in high traffic areas, and never submerge it in
water.
• Do not use an extension cord as it may overheat,
increasing the risk of fire.
• If the supply cord is damaged, contact GE Appliances
or a qualified electrician to replace it before plugging
it in.
• Never turn the dispenser upside down. If the
dispenser has been resting on its side for a long
period of time, place it in the upright position for
approximately 12 hours before using.
• For use with 3 to 5 gallon (12 to 19 liter) water
bottles.
• Never allow children to dispense hot water without
proper and direct supervision.
• Always use known and microbiologically-safe bottled
water.
• Keep your dispenser in a dry place away from direct
sunlight.
• Do not use this dispenser outdoors.
• Never put anything flammable close to the dispenser.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 6 in (15 cm) in
back and on both sides of the dispenser for proper
ventilation.
• Always install your dispenser on a level floor.
• Wait 5 minutes before restarting the dispenser after
turning it off.
• Always unplug the dispenser before servicing.
• Regular cleaning of your dispenser is required to
maintain your warranty.
• Please follow the cleaning instructions outlined in this
manual and clean the dispenser every 6 months.
Grounding Instructions
• To provide additional protection from the risk of
shock, this dispenser MUST be connected to a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet at
all times. Use of an extension cord will void any
warranties.
• This appliance must be grounded. Improper use of
the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric
shock, causing serious injury and possibly death.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having
a grounding wire with a grounding plug and must be
connected into a properly-grounded, polarized outlet.
• Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. If the wall outlet is a standard, 2-prong
outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly-grounded, 3-prong
wall outlet.
• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord plug.
• Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.

1. After unpacking, wipe dispenser with soft cloth.
2. Place the dispenser on a hard, flat surface, making
certain it is level. The dispenser should not be
placed near direct sunlight or any other source of
heat.
3. It is best to place the dispenser in an area with
good air circulation. Make sure there is at least 6 in
(15cm) of clearance in back and on both sides of
the dispenser for proper ventilation.
WARNING The hot and cold tank drain plugs on
the back of the dispenser may loosen during shipping.
Securely tighten the drain plugs before starting the
dispenser. A loose drain plug may leak, causing floor
damage.

CORD YET
4. Follow steps 1-3 in “How to Install Water Bottle”
section in the right column.
5. Place a container under the water dispense point.
Dispense hot, then cold water until both flow
freely. Once water flows freely the dispenser can
be plugged in.
CAUTION Turning on the hot water before
installing the water bottle will cause failure of the
hot water system. Failure to follow these steps may
damage the dispenser and will void all warranty.
6. Plug the dispenser into a grounded GFCI power
outlet.
7. Flip both the cooling system switch and the hot
water switch on the back of the dispenser to the
ON position. The heating and cooling indicator
lights will turn on when water is finished heating or

wait at least 1 hour for cold water and 15 minutes
for hot water.
NOTE: Initial rinsing of waterways.
During shipment, dust and odors can accumulate
in the dispenser. Before use, it is recommended to
flush 0.5 gal (1.9 L) of water through the system by
actuating the hot and cold water dispense buttons.

USING THE WATER DISPENSER / CARE AND CLEANING
Using the Water Dispenser
Care and Cleaning
Operation
The water dispenser has 2 indicator lights on the front
panel.
• When the red indicator light is on, the dispenser has
finished heating water and is ready to dispense.
• When the blue indicator light is on, the dispenser has
finished chilling water in the cold tank, and is ready to
dispense.
LED Light Display
Using the Water Dispenser
• To dispense HOT water, slide the red safety slider to
the left and while holding the slider in place, press the
hot water dispense button all the way down.
• To dispense COLD water, press the cold water
dispense button all the way down.
For maximum efficiency and performance, your water dispenser requires cleaning on a regular basis (ie.
every 6 months). Regular cleaning will prevent potential growth of bacteria and will maintain a hygienic
environment.
Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning the Outside of the Water
Dispenser
The outside of the dispenser may be wiped clean with
a mild cleaning solution product or mild soap and water
mixture and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean
water and then dry surfaces.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to
remove spotting and any mineral deposits.
To remove the drip tray, lift the tray upward, dislodging it
from the guides. Drain and clean with cleaning solution
or a mild soap and water mixture. For tough deposits,
add vinegar and let it soak until the deposits loosen.
Then wash, rinse and dry throughly. Place the drip tray
back into place on the dispenser.
Cleaning the Condenser Coils
Vacuum or sweep away the dust from the condenser
coils. This will improve cooling and efficiency.

water.
8. Place a container under the hot tank drain valve and remove the drain cap by following the instructions on page
8, allowing rinse water to drain. When the rinse water stops flowing, reinstall the drain cap. Repeat for cold drain.
9. Using the steps shown on page 8 with Figures 1 and 2, drain the cold reservoir (left side) and let fresh water run
through the system.
10. Reinstall the baffle and spill guard funnel. Place a new bottle on the dispenser. See the “How to Install Water
Bottle” section on page 5.
11. Dispense 4 cups (1 L) by pressing the cold dispense button. Dispense 0.5 cup (0.12 L) by pressing the hot
dispense button. The cleaning process is now complete.
12. Plug the dispenser into a grounded GFCI power outlet and make sure that the hot water and cooling system
