Setup Instructions

- Add Beverage: Open the lid and pour your desired beverage into the main dispenser body. The wide opening facilitates easy filling.
- Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly back onto the dispenser to prevent dust or contaminants from entering.
- Dispense Beverage: To dispense, push the spigot lever down. Release the lever to stop the flow.
- Monitor Levels: Due to the transparent design, monitor the beverage level and refill as needed.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures hygiene and extends the lifespan of your beverage dispenser.
Cleaning Steps:
- Empty Dispenser: Ensure all beverage is dispensed or removed from the container.
- Disassemble: Remove the lid, ice chamber, and spigot. Carefully lift the dispenser body from the stand.
- Wash Components: Wash all parts (dispenser body, lid, ice chamber, spigot, drip tray) with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft brush for the spigot to ensure no residue remains.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse all components under clean running water to remove all soap residue.
- Dry Completely: Allow all parts to air dry completely or wipe with a clean, dry cloth before reassembly or storage.
- Drip Tray: The drip tray is designed to catch spills and is easy to remove and clean separately.
Note: The food-grade PC material is dishwasher-safe. However, hand washing is recommended for the spigot and its components to ensure thorough cleaning and prevent potential damage from high-pressure dishwashers.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Spigot leaks | Spigot not tightened correctly; washers misplaced or damaged. | Ensure spigot is securely tightened with washers properly seated. Check washers for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Slow beverage flow | Spigot clogged; airlock in dispenser. | Clean the spigot thoroughly. Ensure the lid is not creating a complete vacuum; sometimes slightly loosening the lid can help. |
| Beverage not staying cold | Insufficient ice; ice chamber not used. | Ensure the ice chamber is filled with enough ice. Refill ice as it melts. |
| Dispenser unstable on stand | Dispenser not properly seated on stand. | Ensure the dispenser body is centered and securely placed on the stand. Place on a flat, stable surface. |
