Sanitizing and Cleaning the Water Tanks

IMPORTANT: Periodically the water dispenser tanks must be sanitized to prevent unpleasant tastes in the water and cleaned to remove mineral deposits that can impair flow.

To Sanitize:

position

12. Empty the water bottle, then remove it from the dispenser.

13. Drain the water tanks (see Draining the Dispenser).

14. Reinstall the silicon stopper and drain cap (on floor models) or the drain cover and retaining clip (on countertop models) (see Draining the Dispenser).

15. DO NOT ADD BLEACH FIRST OR DIRECTLY TO THE DISPENSER. Concentrated bleach may damage plastic.

Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of ordinary 6.0% maximum household bleach to a 2 quart (2 liter) pitcher filled with tap water.

16. Pour the solution in the opening at the top of the dispenser.

17. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the dispenser is full.

18. Press the hot and cold dispenser buttons until the water just begins to flow from the taps.

19. Allow to sit for 15–20 minutes.

10.Rinse out the bleach solution:

Drain the water tanks into a large bucket (floor models) or sink (countertop models) (see Draining the Dispenser).

Make sure that the silicon stopper (floor models) or drain cover (countertop models) is NOT installed.

IMPORTANT: Remove the separator and wipe out the cold water reservoir (see Cleaning the Separator).

Clean, then reinstall the separator and collar (see Cleaning the Separator).

Pour approximately 1 gallon (4 quarts or 4 liters) of fresh tap water into the top and allow to drain into the bucket (floor models) or sink (countertop models).

Flush with an additional 1 gallon (4 quarts or 4 liters) of fresh tap water and allow to drain into the bucket (floor models) or sink (countertop models).

11.Reinstall the silicon stopper and drain cap (on floor models) or the drain cover and retaining clip (on countertop models)

(see Draining the Dispenser).

12.Install a fresh water bottle (see Loading the Dispenser).

13.Dispense 1 quart (1 liter) of water from each tap and taste to make sure the bleach solution is completely removed.

If you continue to taste the chlorine from the bleach solution, repeat steps 10–13 until the taste is gone.

14. Plug in the dispenser. Then turn on the hot and cold power switches (on the back of the dispenser).

To Remove Mineral Deposits:

Mix 2 quarts (2 liters) of water with two quarts of vinegar OR mix 1 gallon of water (4 liters) with 16 ounces (454 g) of citric acid crystals. Bleach does not remove mineral deposits. Do this in place of step 5 when removing mineral deposits.

Defrosting (GXCF20E/GXCF20FBB Chiller Model)

Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the chiller compartment becomes excessive. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the liner. We recommend using a plastic scraper. Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your chiller compartment.

To defrost:

Remove items from the compartment.

Turn the Cold (Blue) Power switch to off and unplug the dispenser.

Put several towels in the bottom of the compartment to collect water.

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open.

After defrosting:

Remove the wet towels and wipe up any remaining water.

Wipe the compartment with a dry cloth.

Plug in the unit and turn on the Cold (Blue) power switch. Return items to the unit.
