Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully for proper installation of your air activated switch button:

Prepare the Mounting Location:
Identify a suitable location on your sink top or countertop. The button requires a drilled hole with a diameter between 1 1/4 inches (3.175 cm) and 1 3/4 inches (4.445 cm). For thicker countertops (e.g., granite, marble, quartz), the 2.5-inch long body of this switch is ideal.

Drill the Hole (if necessary):
If a hole is not already present, carefully drill a hole of the specified diameter at your chosen location. Ensure the area is clean and free of debris after drilling.

Assemble the Button:
Place the button device through the drilled hole from the top. From underneath the sink/countertop, slide the support ring and then the nut onto the threaded body of the button. Hand-tighten the nut securely to hold the button in place. Do not overtighten.

Connect the Air Tube:
Connect one end of the 45-inch air tube to the barb fitting on the underside of the air switch button. Connect the other end of the air tube to the air switch input on your garbage disposal's power module. Ensure the air tube is routed cleanly and directly, avoiding kinks or excessive coiling. Trim any excess hose using sharp cutters to ensure optimal performance and responsiveness.
Test the Connection:
Once all connections are secure, restore power to the garbage disposal unit. Press the air switch button to test its functionality. The disposal should activate when pressed and deactivate when released.

Maintenance

The CLEESINK Air Activated Switch Button requires minimal maintenance:

Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the button with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Inspection: Periodically check the air tube for any signs of damage, kinks, or disconnections. Ensure the connection to both the button and the power module remains secure.
No Internal Servicing: The button mechanism is sealed and does not require internal servicing. Do not attempt to disassemble the button.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your air activated switch button, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Disposal does not turn on when button is pressed.	No power to disposal unit. Air tube is kinked, disconnected, or blocked. Air switch button or power module is faulty.	Check circuit breaker and disposal's power connection. Inspect the entire length of the air tube for obstructions or damage. Ensure it is securely connected at both ends. If other solutions fail, the button or power module may need replacement.
Button feels stiff or unresponsive.	Air tube is too long or coiled excessively. Debris under the button.	Trim excess air tube length to ensure a direct, straight path. Clean around the button head.
Water leaking around the button.	Improper sealing during installation. Damaged washer or seal.	Ensure the button is properly seated and the nut is hand-tightened. Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant if necessary (not included). Inspect the washer/seal for damage and replace if needed.
