Care and cleaning of the dispenser.

IMPORTANT: Set both power switches (on the back
of the dispenser, if equipped) in the O (off) position
and unplug the water dispenser before cleaning.

The cabinet and compartment of the dispenser
can be washed with mild soap
and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
Never use commercial cleaners or abrasive
scouring powders.

Sweep away or vacuum any dust from
the condenser coils on the back of the unit.
For best results, use a brush specially designed
for this purpose. It is available at most appliance
stores.

Cleaning the Outside Cabinet and Storage/Chiller Compartment

The dispenser drip tray is not self-draining.
To reduce water spotting or deposits, the tray
and its grille should be emptied, cleaned
and wiped dry regularly.

Clean with mild soap or on the top rack in
the dishwasher.

Cleaning the Inside of the Chiller Compartment

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of
baking soda in the chiller compartment.

Unplug the dispenser before cleaning.

Use warm water and baking soda solution—
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

Clean other parts of the chiller compartment—
including door gaskets and all plastic parts—the
same way.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

(on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish.
Always wipe the surface in the direction of the
grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.
