Introduction
Thank you for choosing the LAOPAO X8 Automatic Foaming Soap Dispenser. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient use of your new device. Please read it thoroughly before operation and retain it for future reference.
This touchless dispenser features a high-precision infrared sensor for quick soap release, a durable stainless steel shell, and a rechargeable battery for convenience in both bathroom and kitchen environments.
Setup
- Unpack the Dispenser: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present: the main dispenser unit, the soap reservoir, and the USB charging cable.
- Charge the Dispenser:
Locate the USB charging port on the back of the dispenser. Connect the included USB charging cable to the dispenser and a 5V 1A or 5V 2A USB power adapter (not included). The indicator light will show charging status.
Note: Quick charge adapters or USB-C to USB-C cables may not work. A full charge typically lasts for approximately 5000 dispenses.

- Prepare and Fill the Soap Reservoir:
Twist the main dispenser unit counter-clockwise to detach it from the transparent soap reservoir. If using liquid soap, dilute it with water at a ratio of 4-6 parts water to 1 part soap. Mix thoroughly. If using foam soap, pour it directly into the reservoir.

- Assemble the Dispenser:
Carefully reattach the main dispenser unit to the filled soap reservoir by aligning the internal tube and twisting clockwise until secure.
- Turn On the Dispenser:
Press and hold the power button on the top of the dispenser for 2-3 seconds until the indicator light illuminates. Single clicks or repeated clicks will not turn the device on.

Operating Instructions
- Automatic Dispensing:
Once the dispenser is turned on, place your hand underneath the nozzle. The high-precision infrared sensor will detect your hand and release foam in approximately 0.25 seconds.

- Adjusting Soap Amount:
The dispenser offers two soap amount levels based on the distance of your hand from the sensor:
- For 0.6g of soap: Place your hand between 0-3 cm from the sensor.
- For 1.0g of soap: Place your hand between 3-7 cm from the sensor.

- Clean Mode:
To activate the clean mode, double-click the power button. The dispenser will continuously release soap for 20 seconds. This mode is useful for cleaning the internal pump mechanism, especially before refilling or when switching soap types.

Maintenance
- Cleaning the Dispenser:
To prevent clogging and maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the dispenser. Add clean water to the reservoir instead of soap and activate the clean mode (double-click power button) to flush the pump for 20 seconds. Repeat if necessary.
- Waterproof Rating:
The dispenser has an IPX5 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens without worry of splashing water. Ensure the rubber plug for the USB charging port is securely closed to prevent moisture entry.

- Soap Compatibility:
This dispenser is designed to work with foam soap directly or liquid soap diluted with water (4-6 parts water to 1 part soap). Using undiluted liquid soap or overly thick soap may prevent foaming and could clog the pump.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dispenser not turning on after charging | Incorrect power-on procedure. | Press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds to turn on. Single clicks will not work. |
| No foam or weak foam dispensed | Soap is too thick or not properly diluted. Pump is clogged. | Ensure liquid soap is diluted 4-6 times with water. Run the clean mode with water in the reservoir to clear any clogs. |
| Charging not working | Incorrect charging adapter or cable. | Use the included USB cable and a 5V 1A or 5V 2A adapter. Avoid quick charge adapters or USB-C to USB-C cables. |
