NOTE All personnel should be aware of company requirements for their own cleanliness and hygiene when
servicing and sanitizing a unit.
The Premium Cooler model must be sanitized every 12 months, when taste concerns arise, or after
boil-water alerts are lifted.
Every 12 months, the filters and UV lamp should be changed.
Units in dusty or high use locations may need more frequent servicing.
The unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight, heat sources or where temperatures are above 90°F
or below 37°F. Do not clean with a water jet.
A unit with the hot water option may require removing any Calcium build-up inside the hot tank, de-
pending on local water conditions and the type of water treatment.
Latex gloves must be used when handling the filters, UV bulb, quartz sleeve or any components that
have contact with the drinking water.
Prepare the Unit for Sanitization
1. Turn OFF the red switch on the back of the unit and unplug the power cord.
2. Turn OFF the water supply.
3. Twist-off the drain caps on the back of the Premium Cooler. Drain the unit completely and replace the caps.
4. Remove and dispose of the old filters.
5. Open the top cover and remove the UV lamp.
6. Unscrew the UV retaining nut and remove the Quartz Sleeve by pulling straight up. Clean the Quartz Sleeve
with isopropyl rubbing alcohol and remove any surface lime scale that may have adhered to the sleeve surface.
Check and replace the black O ring if necessary.
7. Replace quartz sleeve if etched, cracked or unable to be cleaned.
8. Reinstall the Quartz Sleeve and retighten the UV retaining nut. Tighten about ¼ turn after the gasket makes
contact.
9. Replace the UV lamp and wiring harness/starter. Leave one of the wires disconnected until after the sanitization
procedure is complete.
NOTE When replacing the wiring harness/starter, be sure the wires are straight and snug, and not crossed,
before inserting the UV lamp into quartz sleeve.
NOTE Do not touch the UV lamp or the Quartz sleeve with bare hands.
NOTE The UV lamp will turn on only when the compressor is on and running. When the compressor shuts
off, the UV lamp will shut off as well.
