Rag or towel

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Unplug the dispenser. This is an important safety precaution to prevent any electrical shocks.
2. Remove the water bottle. Lift the bottle up and out of the dispenser.
3. Locate the drain plug. The drain plug is usually located on the bottom of the dispenser, near the back. It is typically a small, black plastic plug.
