Replacing the Bottle

  1. Open dispenser cabinet door and slide the empty bottle out of the cabinet.
  2. Remove the probe assembly from the empty bottle and place it on the probe hanger.

Cleaning & Maintenance

For best taste, performance, and hygiene, clean your cabinet, controls, bottle probe, and spout each time you replace your water bottle. Use a clean, soft cloth and food-grade sanitizer or bleach.

Empty and clean the drip tray as needed. Visit www.primowater.com for detailed cleaning instructions.

The self-sanitizing feature will automatically begin a cycle every 24 hours following the time of the first cycle. To begin the first cycle, press and hold the black switch ? on the back of the dispenser for 5 seconds. Unplugging the dispenser will reset the time that sanitization begins.

Note: The self-sanitization cycle takes 45 minutes to complete. We do not recommend dispensing or drinking water during this cycle as it may have a slight smell from the harmless ozone. This smell will completely dissipate a couple of minutes after the cycle is complete. We recommend setting the sanitization cycle to begin during a period when the dispenser will not be in use, such as overnight or when staff will not be in the office.
