Q
: Why is my water dispenser leaking?

bottle or the dispenser is leaking.
1. Unplug the unit, turn off power switch and remove the bottle.

water dispensers feature a “piercing valve” as part of the bottle support collar, providing
added convenience for water bottle installation. Depending on the water bottle supplier, a small
opening may or may not be present in the bottle cap for this specific purpose. If the piercing valve
opening is not present, the entire bottle cap must then be removed to eliminate possible damage to
the piercing valve. If the opening is present, remove the protective seal prior to installing the bottle.
