Pure Water 200 Series Water Dispenser Cleaning
Your water dispenser should be thoroughly cleaned at least twice a year. If
your dispenser hasn’t been used in a while, we recommend flushing the
equipment prior to cleaning. Here are instructions for do-it-yourself
cleaning:
Before you start cleaning, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for
at least 20 seconds
TIP : The best time to clean your dispenser is when the existing water bottle is empty
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- 70% rubbing alcohol or disinfecting wipes
- Dishwashing soap
- Clean cloth or soft brush
- Disposable non-latex gloves
- Hot water (about a gallon)
- Heat-resistant container, like a metal pot
- Towels to absorb any water spills
WARNING: Always use caution when handling hot water.
HOW TO USE
-
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.
-
Remove the water bottle and drain the water reservoir by dispensing water through the hot and cold spigots.
-
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.
-
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).
TIP : The drip tray and grill should be cleaned monthly. -
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 4). (Note that the separator is designed to fit tightly in the reservoir and will require force to remove.) Clean the separator with dishwashing soap and dry thoroughly.
-
Carefully pour hot water into the reservoir until it is ¾ full (Fig 5). Let the water sit for 5 minutes. Always use caution when handling hot water.
-
Wearing disposable non-latex gloves, wipe the inside of the reservoir with a clean cloth or soft brush. Use caution as the water may still be hot to the touch (Fig 6).
-
Completely drain the water from the reservoir by dispensing the water through the hot and cold spigots into a container.
-
Repeat steps 6 and 8 to completely flush the dispenser. It is not necessary to wipe the inside of the reservoir a second time.
-
Replace the separator and close the cover (Fig 7). Wipe down the dispenser and the surrounding area to dry any water spills.
-
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Install a full water bottle on the dispenser. Dispense water through the hot and cold spigots. Turn on the hot tank heater switch located at the rear of the dispenser.
WARNING: Dispense water through the hot and cold spigots before turning
on the hot tank switch. Failure to follow proper installation instructions may
cause damage to water dispenser.
