Frequently Asked Questions
Q: WHY DO I GET A PLASTIC TASTE FROM MY DISPENSER?
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 the Initial Cleaning section.
Q: WHAT IS THE SPIKE THAT GOES INTO THE BOTTLE?
Glacier Bay® 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.
