Gather Essential Materials

Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions
1. Unplug and Disassemble the Dispenser
Unplug the dispenser from the power outlet. Remove the water bottle and empty the reservoir. Disassemble the dispenser by removing the drip tray and any other removable parts.
2. Soak Removable Parts in Vinegar Solution
Fill a sink or large bowl with a solution of equal parts white vinegar (or lemon juice) and warm water. Submerge the removable parts in the solution and allow them to soak for 30 minutes.
3. Clean the Reservoir with Baking Soda
Create a paste by mixing baking soda with a small amount of warm water. Apply the paste to the inside of the reservoir and scrub gently with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
4. Clean the Drip Tray and Other Parts
Use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with warm water to clean the drip tray and any other removable parts. If necessary, use a soft-bristled brush to remove any stubborn dirt or residue.
5. Reassemble the Dispenser
Once all parts are clean and dry, reassemble the dispenser. Ensure that all parts are securely in place.
6. Run a Cleaning Cycle
Fill the dispenser with fresh water and run a cleaning cycle. This will flush out any residual cleaning solution and ensure that your dispenser is ready to use.
7. Regular Maintenance
To keep your Primo water dispenser clean and functioning optimally, follow these regular maintenance tips:
- Change the water bottle regularly.
