Care and Cleaning
Cleaning The Outside Of The Water Dispenser
Ensure the unit is unplugged. Wipe the outside of the dispenser with water. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and then dry surfaces.
Cleaning The Drip Tray
To remove, lift the drip tray up. Drain and clean. The drip tray should be
emptied and cleaned regularly to avoid spotting and any mineral deposits.
Clean with water or water dispenser cleaner. Then wash, rinse, and dry
thoroughly. Never clean the drip tray in the dishwasher. The tray is not
dishwasher safe.
Cleaning The Condenser
Vacuum or sweep away the dust from the condenser coils at the back of the dispenser. For best results, you can purchase a brush designed specifically for this purpose from your local appliance store. This will improve cooling and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Why do I get a plastic taste from my dispenser?
- A: As with most nevw appliances such as coffee makers and kettles, there is often a plastic taste upon initial start-up of the unit. To remove this taste, simply follow the cleaning instructions outlined in Cleaning the Inside of the Dispenser.
- Q: What is the spike that goes into the bottle?
- A: Glacier Bay® 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, some water bottles incorporate a self-piercing membrane in the bottle cap for this specific purpose (ask your water bottle supplier if your water bottle incorporates this feature). If your water bottle does not incorporate this feature, the entire bottle cap must then be removed to eliminate possible damage to the piercing valve.
