GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
For best operation, plug the appliance into its own
electrical outlet on a dedicated circuit to prevent
flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping
of circuit breaker.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE WATER DISPENSER
Refrigerant Disposal
Your old water dispenser may have used a regulated
refrigerant in its cooling system. These refrigerants
are believed to harm stratospheric ozone. If you
are throwing away your old dispenser, make sure
the refrigerant is removed and recovered for proper
disposal by an EPA-certified technician. If you
intentionally release this refrigerant, you can be subject
to fines and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Sanitize the dispenser water tanks prior to
installing a full bottle of water for the first time (see
“Cleaning and Sanitizing the Water Tanks”).
IMPORTANT: Make sure the dispenser is unplugged
with both the hot and cold power switches (on the
back of the dispenser on models so equipped) set to
the O (off) position. Before placing the water bottle
on the dispenser, wash hands and wipe the top of
the bottle with a clean cloth. Avoid touching the part
of the bottle that will be in contact with the water
dispenser.
Make sure the water level in the top of the
dispenser is low enough to allow for proper
bottle installation. Failure to do so may cause
the dispenser to overflow.
1.
Peel the label from the top cover of the
bottle (if present). Do
not
remove the
entire bottle cap.
2.
Place the bottle on top of the dispenser as
shown, aligning the dispensing valve probe
to the center of the water bottle cap. Press
down until the probe penetrates the bottle
cap, allowing the bottle to rest on the
support collar.
3.
IMPORTANT: Press both dispense buttons until
water runs from both taps.
4. Plug in the dispenser.
5. Set the COLD and HOT power switches
(located on the top left rear of the dispenser
on models so equipped) to the

Care and cleaning of the dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Set both power switches (on the back
of the dispenser, if equipped) in the O (off) position
and unplug the water dispenser before cleaning.
The cabinet and compartment of the dispenser
can be washed with mild soap
and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
Never use commercial cleaners or abrasive
scouring powders.
Sweep away or vacuum any dust from
the condenser coils on the back of the unit.
For best results, use a brush specially designed
for this purpose. It is available at most appliance
stores.
Cleaning the Outside Cabinet and Storage/Chiller Compartment
The dispenser drip tray is not self-draining.

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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish.
Always wipe the surface in the direction of the
grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the
location of a dealer nearest you, please call

Specifications
Defrosting (for models GXCF25FBS, GXCF25HBS and PXCR33KSS)
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 the Cold (Blue) Power switch (if equipped) to off
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 and turn on the Cold (Blue) power switch
(if equipped). Return items to the unit.
