Setup and Installation

The GROHE Cosmopolitan 40535000 dispenser is designed for easy installation into countertops or sinks. It features a brass head and flange with a one-piece cartridge pump unit.

Pre-Installation Considerations:

• Ensure you have the necessary tools for drilling if a new mounting hole is required.
• If using an existing sink hole, verify the dispenser's arm length is sufficient to dispense into the sink basin. Some existing holes may require a new hole to be drilled closer to the basin or the use of an extended supply hose (not included) for optimal placement.
• The dispenser requires a mounting hole with a diameter of approximately 1 3/16 inches (30mm).
• Maximum countertop thickness for installation is approximately 2 3/8 inches (60mm).

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Mounting Hole: If a new hole is needed, carefully drill a hole of the specified diameter (approx. 1 3/16 inches or 30mm) in your countertop or sink. Ensure the location allows for proper dispensing into the sink.
2. Insert the Dispenser Body: Place the dispenser's main body through the prepared hole from the top.
3. Secure from Below: From underneath the countertop/sink, attach the securing nut and washer to firmly hold the dispenser in place.
4. Attach the Bottle: Screw the 15 oz. capacity bottle onto the threaded shaft of the dispenser from underneath.
5. Initial Fill: Before first use, fill the bottle with your desired liquid soap or lotion.

Operating Instructions

Dispensing Liquid:

To dispense soap or lotion, simply press down on the top of the dispenser head. The one-piece cartridge pump unit is designed for smooth and consistent operation.

Refilling the Dispenser:

The GROHE Cosmopolitan dispenser is designed for convenient top-filling.

1. Gently pull the dispenser head straight up to remove it from the base.
2. Pour liquid soap or lotion directly into the opening until the 15 oz. capacity bottle is full.
3. Replace the dispenser head by aligning it and pushing it down firmly until it seats properly.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your GROHE Cosmopolitan dispenser.

• Cleaning the Finish: The dispenser features GROHE's InfinityFinish, which is scratch and tarnish-resistant. Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Internal Components: The internal components that come into contact with soap are made of plastic to prevent rust and ensure long-term cleanliness. Regular refilling and use typically keep the internal pump mechanism clear.
• Preventing Clogs: If using thick liquids, consider diluting them slightly with water to prevent clogging and ensure smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your dispenser, refer to the following common solutions:

• Dispenser Not Pumping:
  • Check if the soap/lotion bottle is empty. Refill if necessary.
  • Ensure the dispenser head is properly seated on the base.
  • The pump mechanism might be clogged. Remove the dispenser head and pump unit, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and reassemble.
• Slow Pump Rebound:
  • This can sometimes occur with very thick liquids. Try diluting your soap or lotion slightly with water.
  • Ensure the pump mechanism is clean and free of residue.
• Leaking Around Base:
  • Check that the securing nut underneath the countertop is tight.
  • Ensure the bottle is securely screwed onto the dispenser shaft.
