2. Placement: Place the dispenser on a flat, level, and stable surface. Ensure it is in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, it is recommended to clean the internal water paths. Fill the water bottle compartment with clean water (or a mild bleach solution followed by thorough rinsing), dispense through all spigots until clear, and then drain completely. Run several liters of fresh water through the system to flush out any residue.

5. Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your water dispenser.

• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Drip Tray: The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent overflow and bacterial growth. Simply slide out the tray, empty the water, wash with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and replace.
• Internal Cleaning: For thorough internal cleaning, unplug the unit. Prepare a cleaning solution of water and a small amount of bleach (e.g., 1 teaspoon of bleach per gallon of water). Pour the solution into the water bottle compartment or directly into the reservoir if accessible. Dispense the solution through all spigots. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then drain completely. Rinse the system by running several liters of fresh, clean water through all spigots until no bleach odor remains.
• Condenser Coils: Periodically clean the condenser coils at the back of the unit with a brush or vacuum cleaner to ensure efficient cooling. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning the coils.
