Keeping your AVALON A3F Bottom Loading Water Cooler clean ensures it dispenses fresh, great-tasting water. Here's a simple guide:

1. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners that could damage the finish.

2. Water Reservoir Cleaning: Unplug the water cooler and remove the water bottle. Drain any remaining water. Use a mix of warm water and a gentle detergent to clean the reservoir. Rinse thoroughly.

3. Drip Tray Maintenance: Remove and wash the drip tray regularly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well.

4. Sanitizing: Sanitize the water dispenser every 3-6 months. Use a solution of one teaspoon of bleach per gallon of water in the reservoir. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

5. Water Bottle Replacement: When replacing the water bottle, ensure the neck is clean. Seat the bottle correctly on the dispenser.

6. Maintenance Checklist:

   • Inspect the power cord for any damage.
   • Check for leaks or unusual sounds.
   • Keep the area around the water cooler clean and unobstructed.
   • Consult the user manual's troubleshooting section or contact customer support if you experience any issues. Following these steps will help keep your AVALON A3F running smoothly and providing refreshing water.
