2.2 Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Mounting Hole: If a hole is not already present, drill a hole in your sink or countertop with a diameter between 1 1/4" and 1 3/4". Ensure the area is clean and free of debris.

2. Assemble the Button: Place the support ring (if included) onto the button device. Insert the button device through the prepared hole from the top of the sink or countertop.
3. Secure the Button: From underneath the sink/countertop, thread the locking nut onto the button device and tighten it securely to hold the button in place. Do not overtighten.

4. Connect the Air Hose: Attach one end of the provided 45-inch air hose to the nipple on the underside of the air switch button. Connect the other end of the air hose to the air switch input on your garbage disposal's power module (sold separately).
5. Adjust Air Hose Length: The provided air hose is 45 inches long. Cut any excess hose to the required length. Important: Do not coil up excess hose between the button and the power module, as this can reduce the reliability of the switch.
6. Test the Connection: Once all connections are made, ensure the power module is plugged into a grounded outlet and the garbage disposal is connected to the power module.

4. Maintenance

The CLEESINK Air Activated Switch Button requires minimal maintenance. To ensure its longevity and appearance:

• Cleaning: Wipe the button surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish.
• Air Hose Inspection: Periodically check the air hose for any kinks, cracks, or damage. Ensure it remains securely connected to both the button and the power module.
• Button Functionality: If the button feels stiff or unresponsive, ensure no debris is lodged around its edges. Avoid forcing the button.
