The dispenser drip tray is not self-draining.
To reduce water spotting or deposits, the tray
and its grille should be emptied, cleaned and
wiped dry regularly.
Clean with mild soap or on the top rack in the
dishwasher.

Cleaning the Inside of the Chiller Compartment
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box of
baking soda in the chiller compartment.
Unplug the dispenser before cleaning.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Clean other parts of the chiller compartment—
including door gaskets and all plastic parts—
the same way.
For long vacations or absences, turn power
off to the entire unit from the control
panel.
1.
Unplug the water dispenser.
2.
Remove the water bottle.
3.
Drain the water tanks (see
Draining the
Dispenser
).
4.
Dry the separator thoroughly on both
the top and bottom (see
Cleaning the
Separator
).
5.
Leave the door of the chiller
compartment open.
After returning from vacation, make sure to
sanitize the water tanks before using the
dispenser (see Cleaning and Sanitizing the
Water Tank).
Preparing for Vacation
Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the chiller
compartment becomes excessive.
Never use a
sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as
it may damage the liner.
We recommend using
a plastic scraper. Do not use any electrical device
in defrosting your chiller compartment.
To defrost:
■
Remove items from the compartment.
■
Turn off power and unplug the dispenser.
■
Put several towels in the bottom of the
compartment to collect water.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours.
To defrost faster, keep the door open.
After defrosting:
■
Remove the wet towels and wipe up any
remaining water.
■
Wipe the compartment with a dry cloth.
■
Plug in the unit, set the clock and
operation adjustment. Then turn on the
power. Return items to the unit.
