Operating Instructions
Using your Yofidra soap dispenser is straightforward.
- Fill with Liquid: Ensure your large soap bottle connected to the extension tube contains the desired liquid (soap, detergent, etc.).
- Prime the Pump (Initial Use): For the first use, or after refilling a completely empty bottle, pump the dispenser several times until the liquid begins to flow smoothly. The check valve system helps maintain prime.
- Dispense Liquid: Apply slight pressure to the top of the pump head to dispense the liquid.
- Adjust Direction: The pump head can rotate 360 degrees. Adjust its direction as needed for convenient access.
