- Page 4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Initial Product Cleaning Procedure Like most appliances, your water dispenser requires periodic maintenance for maximum efficiency and performance and must be cleaned on a regular basis (i.e. every 4 months). To maintain a hygienic environment within your water dispenser and prevent potential formation (growth) of bacteria, we strongly recommend regular cleaning. 1. Make sure the lower compartment storage door is “open” (this will prevent activation of the water pump). 2. Make sure the power cord is plugged into electrical outlet. 3. Using a clean jug/container pre-mix 4 cups / 1 L of White Vinegar with 4 cups / 1 L of hot water. Place the jug/container on the floor of the bottle storage compartment. Insert the stainless straw into the cleaning solution, (make sure the jug/container does not tip over) and close the storage door. The water pump will start automatically and draw the cleaning solution into the dispenser reservoirs. When all of the cleaning solution has been drawn, the pump will continue to operate for approximately 20 seconds and stop automatically, followed by a flashing yellow light (add water) condition (this is normal). Simply open the storage to cancel the flashing yellow light. Allow the cleaning solution to sit inside the dispenser for 20 minutes. 4. Place a jug/container under the dispensing spigots and press both the hot and cold dis- pensing buttons until the cleaning solution stops flowing. Discard cleaning solution. 5. Using a jug/container, drain the remaining cleaning solution from the internal reservoirs by unscrewing the drain cap and removing the drain plug from the drain valve located at the back of the unit. Discard the cleaning solution. 6. Re-install the drain plug and drain cap on the unit and flush the system using 2L clean water only (no cleaning solution) following the same basic steps outlined above. (See step # 3) Place jug/container under drain valve and remove drain cap and drain plug al- lowing rinse water to drain. When the rinse water stops flowing, re-install the drain plug and drain cap and tighten. The cleaning process is now complete. Page 4 oasiscoolers.com...

Page 10: Cleaning And Maintenance
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Like most appliances, your water dispenser requires periodic maintenance for maximum efficiency and performance and must be cleaned on a regular basis (i.e. every 4 months). To maintain a hygienic environment within your water dispenser and prevent potential formation (growth) of bacteria, we strongly recommend regular cleaning. Cleaning the Outside of the Water Dispenser The outside of the dispenser can be wiped clean with clean solution or a mild soap and water mixture. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and then dry surfaces. Cleaning the Drip Tray To remove the drip tray, (Fig. 8) pull the tray forward dislodging it from the guides. D rain and clean. The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to remove spotting and any mineral deposits. Clean with cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mixture. For tough deposits, add vinegar and let it soak until the deposits come loose. Then wash, rinse and dry thoroughly. To replace, put the grill back on the tray and slide the tray onto the guides (not dishwasher safe). Cleaning the Condenser Vacuum or sweep away the dust from the condenser coils at the back of the dispenser. For best results, you can purchase a brush designed specifically for this purpose from your local appliance store. This will improve cooling and efficiency. Draining the Reservoirs Drain the reservoirs before and after cleaning, when going on long vacations or if not using the dispenser for long periods of time. IMPORTANT! Unplug the dispenser before performing this procedure. Dispense hot water until temperature drops to a safe level to avoid the risk of scalding. - Page 11 Problem Possible Cause Suggested Solution Water dispenser is leaking Drain cap and silicone seal are not secure. Ensure seal is secure in drain plug and tighten cap. All the water in the tank has been used. Replace with full bottle and wait 60 minutes for Water is not hot or cold enough water to cool. The unit is unplugged. Plug into the outlet. The circuit breaker is tripped or a fuse is blown. Reset the breaker or replace the fuse. Temperature limit tripped. Allow the temperature of the hot water tank to cool for approximately 15-30 minutes. The tem- perature limit thermostat will reset automatically once sufficiently cooled and the cooling system will reactivate automatically. Thermostat needs to be adjusted colder. Adjust thermostat between high (cool) and low (colder) levels to achieve desired temperature. Empty water bottle. Replace with full bottle. Water dispenser is not dispensing water Mineral deposits clogging tanks.
