1. Turn off the hot tank heater switch on the back of the dispenser
(Fig 1)
. Let the unit stand
for one hour before cleaning to allow the hot tank to cool.
2. Remove the water bottle and drain the water reservoir by dispensing water through
the hot and cold spigots.
3. Clean the cabinet, bottle receptacle and spigots with 70% rubbing alcohol or disinfecting
wipes. Vacuum or wipe the grill on the back of the dispenser to remove any dust.
4. Clean the drip tray and grill by emptying the tray and cleaning the tray and grill with
dishwashing soap or by placing them on the top rack of the dishwasher
(Fig 2)
.
5. Press the cover lock on the top rim of the
cooler and pull up to open
(Fig 3)
. Remove
the separator by lifting from one edge
with slow, steady pressure. Make note of
the separator positioning before removing
so that it can be re-installed correctly
(Fig

fit tightly in the reservoir and will require
force to remove.) Clean the separator with
dishwashing soap and dry thoroughly.
