Installation Distance Guidelines:
To ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent accidental dispensing, observe the following distances:
- Maintain a minimum distance of 25 cm (9.8 inches) between the dispenser's sensor and the countertop or any object below it.
- If installing above a highly reflective surface (e.g., stainless steel sink), increase the distance to a minimum of 35 cm (13.8 inches) to avoid sensor interference.

4. Operation
Dispensing Soap:
Once installed and filled, simply place your hand under the dispensing nozzle. The infrared sensor will detect your hand and automatically dispense the set amount of liquid soap.
Adjusting Dispensing Volume:
The dispenser offers 5 levels of liquid output. To adjust the volume:
- Locate the setting button (often combined with the power button or a separate small button).
- Press the button repeatedly to cycle through the 5 volume settings. Each press will typically indicate a change in volume (e.g., via an LED flash or a small dispense).
- Select the desired volume. The dispenser will remember this setting.
