Setup Instructions
- Prepare the Cooler: Ensure your Igloo beverage cooler is empty and clean. If replacing an old spigot, remove it by unscrewing the nut from the inside of the cooler and pulling the spigot out from the front.
- Insert New Spigot: From the outside of the cooler, insert the new Igloo Replacement Spigot through the spigot hole. Ensure the button mechanism is facing upwards.
- Secure the Spigot: From the inside of the cooler, place the washer (if applicable, typically included with the cooler or old spigot) onto the threaded part of the spigot. Then, screw the retaining nut onto the threaded part of the spigot.
- Tighten: Hand-tighten the retaining nut until the spigot is snug and secure. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the cooler or spigot.
- Test for Leaks: Fill the cooler with water and check for any leaks around the spigot. If leaks occur, tighten the nut slightly more until the leak stops.
Operating Instructions
To dispense liquid from your cooler using the Igloo Replacement Spigot:
- Position Container: Place your cup or container directly under the spigot's nozzle.
- Press Button: Firmly press the button on the front of the spigot. Liquid will begin to flow.
- Release Button: Release the button to stop the flow of liquid. The drip-resistant valve is designed to minimize post-dispensing drips.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning of your Igloo Replacement Spigot will ensure hygienic use and prolong its lifespan.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, rinse the spigot thoroughly with warm water.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically, remove the spigot from the cooler and wash it with mild soap and water. Use a small brush if necessary to clean inside the nozzle and around the button mechanism.
- Drying: Allow the spigot to air dry completely before re-installing or storing.
- Storage: Store the spigot in a clean, dry place when not in use.
Troubleshooting
