OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Initial Product Cleaning Procedure
As with most new appliances, it is recommended to clean the reservoir
prior to first time use.
1. Make sure the unit is unplugged and power switch is turned off.
2. Remove the bottle support collar, saturate a clean cloth with water
dispenser cleaner or vinegar and wipe the inside of the reservoir.
3. Pour water dispenser cleaner or a mixture of 0.3 gal / 1 L of vinegar
with 0.3 gal / 1 L of hot water into the reservoir and wait 20 minutes.
IMPORTANT: To avoid water overflow while cleaning the dispenser,
always remove the bottle support collar before pouring water or
cleaning solution into the reservoir. (See Figure A).
4. Press both dispensing taps until water no longer comes out.
5. Drain the reservoirs from the drain valve on the back of the unit.
6. Rinse again with clean water.
7. Place bottle support collar back on top of dispenser.
Maintaining Your Water Dispenser
Like most appliances, your new water dispenser requires regular cleaning to operate efficiently.
Your water dispenser must be cleaned every 4 months (see procedure on page 5).
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 and power
switch is in the OFF position. The water bottle can be purchased from your local retailer.
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 both dispenser taps until water flows from the dispenser. Drain about 0.3 gal / 1 L of
water before initial use. This does not need to be repeated with replacement bottles.
4. Plug in the water dispenser.
5. Set the power switch at the rear of the dispenser to the ON position (see item 11 on page 2).
6. Ready-to-dispense indicator lights will come on when water reaches optimum temperatures and is
ready for use. In order to get steaming hot water, the Insta-HOT feature needs to be activated.
(See Dispensing Hot Water).

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT LEAKING BOTTLES
If you find that your dispenser is leaking, check the water bottle first!
Almost all 3 and 5 gallon water bottles are recycled, and handled extensively during cleaning, filling,
and shipping. As a result they are very prone to developing pin holes or small cracks that can cause an
overflow (or leak) when placed on top of a water dispenser.
Most often, there is nothing wrong with your water dispenser. If you are
experiencing a leak, this simple test will allow you to determine whether
your water bottle or dispenser is the source of the problem.
1. Unplug the unit, turn off power switch and remove the water bottle.
2. a) Remove the bottle support collar and check the water level inside
the reservoir – it should be at roughly three-quarters full.
b) Please add or drain a few glasses of water to achieve the required
fill level. Water level should be approximately 3/4” – 1” BELOW
VENT TUBE.
3. Let the water sit for approximately 2 hours. If the dispenser does not
leak, it is the bottle that is leaking due to a small crack or pinhole.
Please contact your water supplier for a replacement bottle.

accessories and helpful use and care tips.

Dispensing Room and Cold Water
Place a glass under the appropriate tap. For cold water, press the blue tap downward until the desired
amount of water is dispensed. Before the KETTLE Feature is activated, the red tap dispenses room
temperature water. To dispense room water, squeeze the red handle and press downward until the
desired amount of water is dispensed. (See Dispensing Hot Water).
Adjusting the Temperature (Cold water only)
By turning the thermostat at the back of the unit, the temperature can be
adjusted. Turn the dial clockwise between the min (cool) and max (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 MIN, slowly increasing based on your
use and need for cold water.
