Maintenance Tips for Hot Water Dispensers

WARNING!

To avoid personal injury or death, disconnect your appliance from its power source before you start any troubleshooting or repair work. Use caution when working inside any appliance.

Household appliances have average lifetime expectancies. Maintaining your appliances properly can extend their lifetime indefinitely.

If you have to do any kind of repair or maintenance on this unit, make sure to unplug it from the power supply.
Do not let children operate this unit, if they do, please monitor their use of it. The water has a very high temperature and can scald or seriously burn anyone.
Keep the hot water dispenser clean.
If you will not be using the unit for a long period of time, like over the winter in a summer home, you will want to disconnect and empty the unit. For detailed instructions, look at the owner's manual.
If the dispenser has a faucet screen, you can use a small brush and vinegar to remove hard-water deposits.
A leaky hot water dispenser should be replaced or repaired as soon as possible.

Maintenance Tips for Freezers

WARNING!

To avoid personal injury or death, disconnect your appliance from its power source before you start any troubleshooting or repair work. Use caution when working inside any appliance.

Household appliances have average lifetime expectancies. Maintaining your appliances properly can extend their lifetime indefinitely.

Clean all freezer compartments regularly, even though it may not require defrosting.

Wipe up any spills in the freezer promptly to avoid staining and odors.

Defrost your manual defrost freezer about once a year, or when the frost gets about 1/2 inch thick on the inside walls and clean it thoroughly. If you’re going to scrape the ice off, use a plastic or wooden scraper, not a sharp instrument.

If your freezer is a self-defrost freezer, it will melt its own frost every eight to ten hours, and drain any excess water to the drain pan where it evaporates.

When storing items in the door, place the heaviest items closest to the hinge side; this will reduce stress on the door and inner door panel when it is opened and closed.

Once or twice a year slide the freezer out and vacuum around, inside the back, beneath, and behind it. Clean the coils with a condenser coil brush from our website in the accessories section.

Use baking soda to absorb any odors.
