Cleaning

•  Clean only the parts of the appliance listed in this 

manual. Clean them only in the manner specified. Do 

not use chemicals or abrasive materials to clean any 

part of the appliance.

•

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD - Before performing 

any cleaning operations on the appliance, unplug the 

power cord from the electrical outlet.

•  Protect your countertop area! When moving the wine 

dispensing system for cleaning, always lift and pull 

the unit straight out. Do not wiggle or walk the unit, 

because this may damage the countertop or the 

product. Moving the wine dispensing system requires 

a minimum of two people.

•  Never immerse the wine dispensing system in water 

or steam clean it. Damage caused by cleaning the 

unit in this manner could result in electric shock, fire 

or explosion.

The dispensing heads, including the spout tips must 

be cleaned regularly. If the pickup tubes are not 

replaced between bottle changes, they must be 

cleaned before reuse.

Drip Tray

Remove and wash the drip tray (located on the 

bottom of the bottle bay) in warm water and dish-

washing detergent, as needed.

Cleaning the Spout Tips

Submerge the tips of the spouts in a glass of warm 

water as needed, to clean any remaining drops that 

may have accumulated at the tip of the spouts. Do 

this regularly at the end of each day the wine dis-

pensing system is used.

Cleaning the Dispensing Heads

Dacor recommends cleaning the heads and pick up 

tubes with each bottle change. To clean the dispens-

ing head follow these steps:
1.  Remove the pick up tube and discard or wash it 

out in a mild solution of warm water and dish-

washing soap, then rinse it out.

2.  Remove the cap from the 

head body by turning the 

cap counterclockwise. The 

cap will pop off.

3.  place both the cap and the 

head body in a dishwasher 

and set it for a normal wash 

cycle.

4.  After washing, place the 

head cap on the counter 

with the top down. Spray 

a small amount of food-

grade silicone spray on the 

vinyl cap gasket so that the 

cap rotates properly when 

it is reinstalled. A can of 

food grade silicone spray is 

included with the system. 

See page 23 for reorder 

information.

Use only food grade silicone that is NSF approved. 

6.  Re-position the cap on the 

head, with the triangular 

pointer on the side of the 

cap pointing towards the 

arrow on the head body as 

shown.

7.  push the cap down and turn 

it clockwise.

8.  Line up the rotor switch (at 

the center of the cap) with 

the arrow on the head body.

9.  Attach a pickup tube to the 

bottom of the head body.

IMPORTANT:
•  Store the heads and tubes 

in a clean, closed container 

when not in use.

•  When the head is not in 

use, always make sure the 

collar is fully un-tightened, 

to minimize any unneces-

sary pressure on the  

gasket.
