Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the stability and longevity of your soap dispenser. Choose between nail-free adhesive installation or drilled installation based on your wall surface.
Important Pre-Installation Notes:
- Ensure the installation surface is at least 10 inches (25cm) above the countertop or sink to allow for proper sensor function and dispensing clearance.
- For adhesive installation, the wall surface must be smooth, flat, and non-peeling.
- Thoroughly clean and dry the wall surface with a paper towel before applying adhesive. Do not use water, alcohol, or other liquids for cleaning the surface immediately prior to adhesive application.
