Clearances and Mounting Requirements: 

•  Minimum 1" (25.4mm) diameter mounting hole required.

•  Minimum 18" (457mm) vertical clearance needed below the counter.

•  5" (127mm) diameter clearance needed below the mounting hole to accommodate  

  bottle and bottom housing.

•  Minimum 2-1/4" (57mm) diameter clearance needed for Mounting nut directly below  

  the counter to clear sink rim.

•  Recommend drilling mounting hole 6" to 8" (150 to 205mm) from the wall, and 2-1/2" to  

  3" (65 to 75mm) from sink rim.

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance:

Using a damp cloth, wipe the chrome-plated exterior of the dispenser daily.  Periodically (about 3 to 6 months), it is 

recommended to flush the system with lukewarm water for cleaning and maintenance.

1.  When minimal amount of soap is left in the bottle, fill dispenser with lukewarm water from  

 

  

top to dilute soap.

2.  Press on Automatic System Flush Button to flush the system.

3.  Once unit is flushed, press Automatic System Flush Button again to stop dispensing.

4.  Fill unit with fresh foam soap, and dispense as usual.

For Retrofit:

1.   Remove existing dispenser(s).

2.   Clean area.

3.   Ensure hole is 1" (25.4mm) diameter.

4.   If necessary, enlarge opening using appropriate hole saw. For granite/marble counters, recommend using a diamond hole saw  

 

(consult with stone and granite specialist). If needed, mounting hole should be offset to clear the sink rim. The Mounting nut 

 

 

requires 2-1/4" (57mm) diameter clearance directly below the counter.

To Operate:

1.   Soap dispenser does not dispense soap, but you can hear motor running. The green LED lights up when hands are under spout.

2.   Soap dispenser does not dispense soap and you cannot hear motor running. The green LED does not light up when hands are

  second to dispense  

 

  controlled amount of  

  foam hand soap.

3. 

Adjusting the foam quality –

 

  Foam quality in terms of

  more or less liquid used to

  produce the foam can be

  adjusted by rotating the

  Portion Control Knob

  clockwise for more air in the

  foam and counterclockwise

  for less air in the foam.

LED Light Indicators –

  

  When activated, solid  

  green LED will light.  

  If green light is flashing,  

  remove hand to allow  

  unit to reset, then activate  

  again. If using battery  

  pack, flashing red LED  

  light indicates time to  

  replace batteries.
