CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Seasonal Shutdown
To prevent damage when dispenser is exposed to freezing
temperatures, water must be drained.
1. Unplug dispenser tank to power supply.
2. Turn thermostat control dial to OFF position (fully
counterclockwise).
3. Turn faucet on and run water until water is cold.
4. Place a 3-quart (2.8 L) container under drain plug at bottom
of the tank. Use a screwdriver to remove the screw and
O-ring in the drain tube opening. When tank is fully drained
replace O-ring and screw. Tighten to reseal the drain.
NOTE: Do not plug appliance into power supply if tank is empty.

Cleaning Quick-Connect Filter Screen at Cold Water Inlet
If you notice that the water flow is reduced, it may be necessary to clean the quick-connect screen. Refer to
Installation Step 4.
1. Turn thermostat dial to the “Off” position. Turn on
faucet and run water until it is cold to avoid possibility
of burn.
2. Release cap with a screwdriver, pry it loose using the
notch in the cap.
3. Also using the screwdriver push in on the smallest
ring around copper line. This action releases tension,
allowing disconnection of the copper line and quick-
connect.
4. Pull cone shaped filter screen out (there will be slight
tension) and clean with vinegar as necessary. Check cap and clean as necessary. If deposits have
hardened, soak in vinegar for an hour or two. Then use a brush to clean.
5. Reassemble in reverse order of disassembly. Be aware, when inserting the screen back into place there is
a slight resistance. Push until the screen “pops” into place. Check for leaks.
6. Turn thermostat dial to the “Max” setting. The dispenser will be ready in about 15 minutes.
