3. Self-Cleaning Function
The dispenser is equipped with UV technology for self-cleaning, which helps reduce harmful contaminants in the water tank and improves water taste. The self-cleaning cycle activates automatically under certain conditions:
- If there is no water in the cold water tank, the UV light will run for 30 minutes.
- If there is water in the cold water tank, the UV light will still activate for 15 minutes.
- If the water cooler is turned on but the water pump is not working, the UV light will automatically activate for 15 minutes every two hours.

- Drip Tray: The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent overflow and bacterial growth. Remove the tray, wash with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and replace.
2. Self-Cleaning Cycle
The integrated UV self-cleaning system helps maintain hygiene. Ensure the dispenser is always connected to power for this feature to operate effectively.
