4.1 Adhesive Installation (No Drill)
- Clean the Wall: Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry.
- Apply Adhesive: Peel off the protective film from the non-marking adhesive strip. Press the adhesive strip firmly onto the desired wall location, ensuring it bonds completely.
- Wait: Allow the adhesive to set for at least 24 hours before hanging the dispenser.
- Mount Dispenser: Slide the toothpaste dispenser onto the adhesive bracket.
- Install Toothpaste: Insert your toothpaste tube into the top opening of the dispenser. Squeeze the tube several times to extract air and prime the dispenser until toothpaste appears at the nozzle.

5. Operating Instructions
Using your iHave Automatic Toothpaste Dispenser is simple and hands-free:
- Insert Toothbrush: Gently push your toothbrush into the dispensing lever located at the bottom of the dispenser.
- Dispense Toothpaste: The dispenser will automatically release toothpaste onto your brush. The amount dispensed can be adjusted by the pressure applied to the lever; a lighter push for less, a firmer push for more.
- Remove Toothbrush: Once the desired amount of toothpaste is on your brush, pull your toothbrush away.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene of your toothpaste dispenser.
- Disassemble: The toothpaste squeezer mechanism can be detached from the main body. Gently pull the front cover and the internal dispensing components apart.

- Dry and Reassemble: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling the dispenser.

7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Toothpaste Not Dispensing or Dispensing Poorly
- Prime the Dispenser: For first use or after changing toothpaste, squeeze the toothpaste tube several times until toothpaste appears at the dispenser's nozzle. This removes any air pockets.
- Check Toothpaste Compatibility: The dispenser is suitable for toothpaste tubes with a nozzle diameter between 0.39-0.47 inches (10-12mm) and a nozzle length greater than 0.4 inches (10mm). Ensure your toothpaste tube meets these specifications.
- Clean the Dispenser: Solidified toothpaste can block the mechanism. Follow the cleaning instructions in Section 6.
- Correct Orientation: Ensure the dispenser is mounted vertically downwards.
