INITIAL PRODUCT CLEANING PROCEDURE
The dispenser must be cleaned before the rst use. To maintain a hygienic
environment within your water dispenser and prevent potential formation
(growth) of bacteria, we strongly recommend regular cleaning (i.e. every 4
months). A cleaning kit can be ordered online at www.homedepot.com.
□ Unplug the unit.
□ Remove the bottle support collar (A), saturate a clean cloth with a water
dispenser cleaner (not included) or vinegar, and wipe the inside of the
reservoir.
□ Pour the water dispenser cleaner, or a mixture of 4 cups (1 L) of vinegar
with 4 cups (1 L) of hot water, into the reservoir and wait 20 minutes.
□
□
□
□ Press both dispensing buttons (D and E) until water no longer comes
out.
□ Using a bucket, drain the reservoirs from the drain valve (I) on the back
of the unit.
□ Rinse again with clean water, re-install the drain valve plug, and cover.
□ Place the bottle support collar (A) back on top of the dispenser.
IMPORTANT: To avoid water overow while cleaning the dispenser,
always remove the bottle support collar (A) before pouring water or
cleaning solution into the reservoir.
IMPORTANT: Always wash your hands prior to installing the water
bottle! Clean the top (neck) of the bottle with a clean cloth, and do not
touch the part of the unit that the water touches. Unplug the unit. The
water bottle can be purchased from your local retailer.
