• The yellow switch controls the LED night lights. Turn it ON or OFF as desired.
• For the unit to operate properly, the probe head must seal on the bottle and the door must be
fully closed.
•
It will take less than 3 minutes to fill reservoirs with water. During this time, it is normal for the
pump to run on and off.
• If water fill stops before reservoirs are full, please open and close the door to reset door acti­vated switch.
• Each time you dispense water from the taps, the pump will turn on to refill the tanks.
Dispensing Cold Water
Note: After setup, it will take up to 1 hour to get the water to its coldest temperature. During this
time, the compressor may run continuously as the refrigeration system builds the Ice Bank as noted
in the "Product Features" section.
1. Position the container you wish to fill with water securely below the cold-water tap.
• The right triangle below the cold water control indicates the location of the cold water tap (See the "Parts & Features" section on page 5).

PROPER CARE & DESCALING
General Cleaning
Perform: As needed
Time Required: 5 minutes.
Note: Do NOT use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners.
1. Clean cabinet surfaces with a soft cloth and warm soapy water
2. Wipe dust from back of dispenser to improve efficiency.
3. Remove drip tray assembly by sliding it forward. Remove cover. Place tray and cover in dish-
washer or wipe parts clean with a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
4. Reattach drip tray assembly.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT Return Dispenser To Store.
If you have a question or problem, please contact 1-855-594-4755 for assistance.
Descaling
If you use spring (mineral) water you will need to de-scale your hot water tank.
Heated spring (mineral) water will cause minerals to fall out. Eventually they will plug up your water-
ways, resulting in a gradual slowdown of the flow rate, leaking faucets, and other problems.
Descaling Solutions
Cooking vinegar is proven to remove calcium deposits efficiently.
Depending on the frequency of decalcification treatments, please use the following proportions of
White Vinegar.
- For descaling once every three months, use two cups (500 ml) of white vinegar with 2.5 liters of hot
water.
- For descaling once every six months, use a mixture of six cups (1500 ml) of white vinegar with two
liters of hot water.
- For descaling once every year, use 12 cups (3000 ml) of white vinegar and one liter of hot water.
- For descaling less frequently than once a year, use undiluted white vinegar.
Descaling Procedure
1. Turn off hot & cold switches.
2. Unplug the cooler from the wall.
3. Using rear drain plug, drain the water from the cooler into a bucket and discard the water.
a.Locate the white plastic cap at the back of the cooler.
b.Remove the screw.
c.Remove the clear silicone drain plug and allow water to drain out.
