vitapur VWD366BLP - Frequently Asked Questions

When not using the dispenser for long periods of time or when going on vacation, unplug
the dispenser and drain the reservoirs (see Draining the Reservoirs). Follow Initial Product
Cleaning Procedures upon return and startup of the dispenser.
Q: Why do I get a plastic taste from my dispenser?
A: As with most new appliances such as coffee makers and kettles, there is often a
plastic taste upon initial start-up of the unit. To remove this taste, simply follow the
cleaning instructions outlined in Cleaning the Inside of the Dispenser.
Q: What is the spike that goes into the bottle?
A: Vitapur® water dispensers feature a “piercing valve” as part of the bottle support
collar, providing added convenience for water bottle installation. Depending on the
water bottle supplier, some water bottles incorporate a self-piercing membrane or
plug in the bottle cap for this specic purpose (ask your water bottle supplier if your
water bottle incorporates this feature). If your water bottle does not incorporate this
feature, the entire bottle cap must then be removed to eliminate possible damage to
the piercing valve.
