- Prepare a descaling solution (e.g., a mixture of water and white vinegar, or a commercial descaling agent).
- Pour the solution into the water reservoir.
- Allow it to sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Drain the solution completely.
- Rinse the system thoroughly by filling with clean water and draining several times until no odor or taste of the descaling solution remains.
- Air Filter Cleaning (If applicable): Some models may have an air filter on the back. Clean it periodically according to manufacturer instructions.
6. Troubleshooting
Review these common issues and solutions before contacting support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water flows from the tap. | Empty water bottle, air trapped in the system, pump malfunction. | Replace the water bottle. Open the tap to release trapped air or gently shake the dispenser. Ensure the pump tube is correctly inserted. |
| Cold water is not cold enough (room temperature). | Cooling switch is off, insufficient cooling time, high ambient temperature, cooling system issue. | Ensure the cooling switch on the back is ON. Allow 15-30 minutes for cooling. Optimal performance is at 25℃ (77℉) room temperature; performance may decrease at 40℃-45℃ (104℉-113℉). If the cooling light is on, the fan runs, and warm air blows out, cooling is active. |
| Hot water is not hot. | Heating switch is off, insufficient heating time, heating element issue. | Ensure the heating switch on the back is ON. Allow 15-30 minutes for heating. Ensure the water reservoir is filled before heating. |
| Water tastes like plastic. | New unit odor, residual manufacturing taste, plastic components. | Thoroughly flush the system with several gallons of fresh water before initial use. Repeat flushing if taste persists. Ensure the water bottle itself is clean and free of odors. |
| Dispenser is leaking. | Improperly seated water bottle, damaged water bottle, internal leak. | Check if the water bottle is correctly installed and not cracked. Ensure the pump tube is properly sealed. If leaking persists, discontinue use and contact customer support. |
