Operating Instructions
Filling the Dispenser
The dispenser is designed for convenient top-filling:
- Gently pull the dispenser head straight up and off the pump unit.
- Pour liquid soap or lotion directly into the opening of the pump unit until the reservoir bottle is full. Do not overfill.
- Replace the dispenser head by pushing it firmly back onto the pump unit.
Dispensing Liquid
To dispense soap or lotion, simply press down on the dispenser head. Release to allow the pump to reset. Multiple presses may be required initially to prime the pump.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the GROHE StarLight finish and ensure longevity, clean the dispenser regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
Refilling
Refill the dispenser as described in the "Operating Instructions" section when the liquid level is low. Regular refilling prevents the pump from running dry, which can sometimes lead to priming issues.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your dispenser, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dispenser not pumping or losing prime. | Empty reservoir, air in pump, or liquid too thick. | Refill the reservoir. Pump several times to re-prime. If liquid is too thick, dilute slightly with water. |
| Liquid leaks from dispenser head. | Dispenser head not seated properly or damaged seal. | Ensure dispenser head is pushed down firmly. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Slow or inconsistent dispensing. | Partial clog or liquid too viscous. | Clean the nozzle opening. Consider diluting the liquid slightly. |
