Operating Instructions

- Secure Lid: Place the lid back onto the dispenser to keep contents fresh and prevent contamination. The lid is designed to rest on top, not to screw on.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your drink dispenser.
- Empty Contents: After use, empty any remaining beverage.
- Disassemble Spigot: For thorough cleaning, it is recommended to periodically remove the spigot. Unscrew the nut from the inside and carefully pull the spigot out.
- Wash Components: Wash the glass dispenser, lid, and spigot parts with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush for the spigot to clean any residue inside.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water. Allow them to air dry completely before reassembly or storage to prevent mold or mildew.
- Reassemble: Once dry, reassemble the spigot as described in the Setup section.
Note: The borosilicate glass is thermal shock resistant, making it safe for both cold and warm beverages. However, avoid extreme temperature changes rapidly.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Spigot is leaking. | Spigot not tightened enough, or silicone washers are misplaced/damaged. | Ensure silicone washers are correctly positioned. Hand-tighten the spigot nut firmly. If leaking persists, inspect washers for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Liquid flow is slow or blocked. | Pulp, fruit pieces, or ice blocking the spigot. | Gently shake the dispenser to dislodge blockages. If severe, empty contents and clean the spigot thoroughly. |
| Lid does not seal tightly. | The lid is designed to rest on top, not to create an airtight seal. | This is normal operation. The lid provides a cover to keep dust out and maintain freshness, but it is not a screw-on or airtight seal. |
