Use and Care Manual

Like most appliances, your water dispenser requires periodic maintenance for maximum efciency 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
1-877-527-0313 or can be ordered online at www.homedepot.com.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE WATER DISPENSER
The outside of the dispenser can be wiped clean with a mild soap and water mixture. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water and then dry surfaces.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
To remove, take the grill (1) off the drip tray (G) and rmly lift the tray up, 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 a water dispenser
cleaning solution (not included) 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 (1) back on the drip tray (G) 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
specically for this purpose from your local appliance store. This will improve cooling and efciency.
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.
□ Remove the water bottle.
□ Press both dispensing taps until water no longer comes out.
□ Place a bucket beneath the drain valve on the back of the dispenser.
□ Remove the cap and plug from the drain valve, and let the water ow into the bucket. Replace the cap and plug. (A screwdriver or coin
can be used to help loosen the drain cap.)
□ Replace the water bottle (see “Installing the Water Bottle”).
CAUTION: Unplug the dispenser before performing this procedure. Dispense hot water until temperature drops to a safe level to avoid
the risk of scalding.
IMPORTANT: Collect the water in a container, not the drip tray.
WARNING: Unplug the dispenser before performing any of the following cleaning procedures.
