Setup Instructions
Your dispenser's spigot is typically pre-assembled. However, if disassembly is required for cleaning or if it arrives unassembled, follow these steps:
- Prepare the Spigot: Ensure all washers and the nut are correctly positioned on the spigot's threaded shaft. There should be a washer on each side of the glass.
- Insert Spigot: Insert the spigot through the hole in the glass jar from the outside.
- Secure the Nut: From the inside of the jar, hand-tighten the nut onto the threaded shaft of the spigot. Ensure it is snug to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the glass.
- Test for Leaks: Fill the dispenser with water and check for any leaks around the spigot. If leaks occur, tighten the nut slightly more.

Operating Instructions
- Filling: Remove the glass lid. Pour your desired cold beverage into the dispenser. You can add fruit slices, ice, or other garnishes.
- Dispensing: To dispense, simply push the spigot lever upwards. To stop the flow, push the lever downwards.
- Airflow: For continuous flow, ensure the lid is not completely airtight. Some lids may have a small notch or require slight loosening to allow air in.

Cleaning and Maintenance
- Hand Wash Only: The glass dispenser and lid are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash with mild soap and warm water.
- Spigot Cleaning: The stainless steel spigot can be disassembled for thorough cleaning. Rinse all parts thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reassembly.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the glass or damage the spigot's finish.
Storage
When not in use, ensure the dispenser is clean and dry. Store it in its original polyfoam packaging or a safe place to prevent accidental damage. The slim design allows it to fit neatly in most refrigerators.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Spigot is leaking | Spigot nut is loose or washers are not properly seated. | Ensure washers are correctly positioned on both sides of the glass. Hand-tighten the spigot nut from the inside until snug. Test again. |
| Liquid flow is slow or stops | Lid is too tight, creating a vacuum. | Slightly loosen the lid or ensure any air vent on the lid is clear to allow proper airflow. |
| Spigot feels stiff or hard to turn | Mineral buildup or debris in the spigot mechanism. | Disassemble the spigot and clean all internal components thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well. |
