Keeping your Avalon A1WATERCOOLER water dispenser clean is essential for both its performance and the quality of your drinking water. Here's a step-by-step guide to cleaning and sanitizing your Avalon A1WATERCOOLER, following the manufacturer's recommendations:
-
Rinse the Unit: Begin by ensuring the cooling switch (#11) and heating switch (#12) are in the off (O) position. Unplug the unit. Pour water into the top of the dispenser, where the water bottle typically sits. Dispense about 2 liters of water by pressing the hot water press paddle (#9) and the cold water press paddle (#6) into a bucket.
-
Drain the Water: Place a large bucket under the drain outlet (#14) located at the back of the unit. Remove the drain cover, allowing the water to drain completely. Important: Allow any hot water inside the machine to cool down before draining.
-
Remove Remaining Water: Dispense any remaining water from both the hot water spout (#8) and the cold water spout (#5) into a bucket.
-
Clean the Cold Tank: To remove mineral buildup, mix 4 liters of water with 200g of citric acid crystals (not included), or use a cleaning solution suitable for water dispensers. Remove the bottle supporter. Pour the mixture into the machine's cold tank, ensuring the water can flow out of the hot water spout (#8). Plug in the power cord and turn on (I) the heating switch (#12) for 15 minutes. Then, turn off (O) the heating switch (#12) and let the mixture cool for 20 minutes. Drain the liquid from the drain outlet (#14), then flush the tank with clean water two or three times using the rinsing instructions above.
-
Reassemble and Use: Once cleaning and draining are complete, replace the drain cover and you can use your Avalon A1WATERCOOLER as usual.
For optimal performance and water quality, clean and sanitize your Avalon A1WATERCOOLER water dispenser approximately every six months.
