OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Initial Product Cleaning Procedure
Likemostappliances,yourwaterdispenserrequiresperiodicmaintenanceformaximum
efciency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.
1. Makesurethelowercompartmentstoragedooris“open”(thiswillpreventactivationof
thewaterpump).
2. Makesurethepowercordispluggedintoelectricaloutlet.
3. Usingacleanjug/containerpre-mix4cups/1LofWhiteVinegarwith4cups/1Lof

thestainlessstrawintothecleaningsolution,(makesurethejug/containerdoesnottip
over)andclosethestoragedoor.Thewaterpumpwillstartautomaticallyanddrawthe
cleaningsolutionintothedispenserreservoirs.Whenallofthecleaningsolutionhas
beendrawn,thepumpwillcontinuetooperateforapproximately20secondsandstop
automatically,followedbyaashingyellowlight(addwater)condition(thisisnormal).
Simplyopenthestoragetocanceltheashingyellowlight.Allowthecleaningsolutionto

4. Placeajug/containerunderthedispensingspigotsandpressboththehotandcolddis-
pensingbuttonsuntilthecleaningsolutionstopsowing.Discardcleaningsolution.
5. Usingajug/container,draintheremainingcleaningsolutionfromtheinternalreservoirs
byunscrewingthedraincapandremovingthedrainplugfromthedrainvalvelocatedat
thebackoftheunit.Discardthecleaningsolution.
6. Re-installthedrainpluganddraincapontheunitandushthesystemusing2Lclean

NOTE:Thewaterpumpsystemalsoincorporatesaspecialsafety
featurethatprevents/stopsoperationintheabsenceofwater.
(i.e.emptywaterbottleconditions)Waterpumpoperationisalso
linkedtoadoorswitchsystemmountedinsidethelowerstorage
compartment.
i.e.Dooropen=pumpoperationsuspended.
Doorclosed=normalpumpoperation.
Dispensing Room and Cold Water
Placeaglassunderthedispensingspigotinthecenterofthe
wateroutletpanel.Forcoldwater,press/holddispensingbutton
(#6)untilthedesiredamountofwaterisdispensedandrelease.
Forroomtemperaturewater,press/holddispensingbutton(#5)until
thedesiredamountofwaterisdispensedandrelease.
Adjusting the Temperature (Cold water only)
Byturningthethermostatatthebackoftheunit,thetemperaturecanbeadjustedbyusingasmallat
screwdriver.Turnthedialclockwisebetweenthehigh(cool)andlow(colder)levelsuntilthedesired
temperatureisreached.Ifthewaterdispenserisnotdispensingwater,therecouldbeapossibleice
buildupduetothethermostatbeingsettoocold.Ifthishappens,unplugthedispenserovernightand
thenreset.Setthermostattoawarmersetting,slowlyincreasingbasedonyouruseandneedforcold

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.
Cleaning the Outside of the Water Dispenser
Theoutsideofthedispensercanbewipedcleanwithcleansolutionoramildsoapand

Cleaning the Drip Tray
Toremovethedriptray,(Fig.8)pullthetrayforwarddislodgingitfromtheguides.Drainandclean.
Thedriptrayshouldbeemptiedandcleanedregularlytoremovespottingandanymineraldeposits.Cleanwithcleaning
solutionoramildsoapandwatermixture.Fortoughdeposits,addvinegarandletitsoakuntilthedepositscomeloose.
Thenwash,rinseanddrythoroughly.Toreplace,putthegrillbackonthetrayandslidethetrayontotheguides(not
dishwashersafe).
Cleaning the Condenser
Vacuumorsweepawaythedustfromthecondensercoilsatthebackofthedispenser.Forbestresults,youcanpurchase
abrushdesignedspecicallyforthispurposefromyourlocalappliancestore.Thiswillimprovecoolingandefciency.
Draining the Reservoirs
Drainthereservoirsbeforeandaftercleaning,whengoingonlongvacationsorifnotusingthedispenserforlongperiods
oftime.
IMPORTANT! Unplug the dispenser before performing this procedure.
Dispense hot water until temperature drops to a safe level to avoid the risk of scalding.
1. Removethewaterbottle
2. Pressall3dispensebuttonsuntilwaternolongercomesout
3. Placeabucketbeneaththedrainvalveonthebackofthedispenser
4. Removethecapandplugfromthedrainvalveandletthewaterowintothebucket
5. Replacethecapandplug
IMPORTANT: Collect the water in a container, not the drip tray.
6. Replacethewaterbottle(seeInstallingtheWaterBottle)
Going Away on Vacation
Whennotusingthedispenserforlongperiodsoftimeorwhengoingonvacation,conserveenergy,unplugthedispenseranddrain
thereservoirs(seeDrainingtheReservoirs).FollowInitialProductCleaningProceduresuponreturnandstartupofthedispenser.

Problem
Water dispenser is leaking
Possible Cause Suggested Solution
Draincapandsiliconesealarenotsecure. Ensuresealissecureindrainplugandtighten
cap.
Allthewaterinthetankhasbeenused. Replacewithfullbottleandwait60minutesfor
watertocool.
Theunitisunplugged. Plugintotheoutlet.
Thecircuitbreakeristrippedorafuseisblown. Resetthebreakerorreplacethefuse.
Temperaturelimittripped. Allowthetemperatureofthehotwatertankto
coolforapproximately15-30minutes.Thetem-
peraturelimitthermostatwillresetautomatically
oncesufcientlycooledandthecoolingsystem
willreactivateautomatically.
Thermostatneedstobeadjustedcolder. Adjustthermostatbetweenhigh(cool)andlow
(colder)levelstoachievedesiredtemperature.
Emptywaterbottle. Replacewithfullbottle.
Mineraldepositscloggingtanks. SeeCleaningtheReservoirs.
Possibleairpocket. Pushdownonthedispenserbuttonstoprime
theunit.
 Inspectwaterlineforkinks.
Possibleicebuild-upduetothermostatsettoohigh. Unplugovernight,thenreset.Adjustthermostat
tohigh,slowlyincreasingbasedondesireduse
andneedforcoldwater.
Bottleismakingagurglingnoiseasitllsthetank. Thisisnormal.
Waterdispenserisuneven. Makesurethedispenserisonanevensurface
thatcansupportitsweight.
Water is not hot or cold enough
Water dispenser is not dispensing
