3. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Yofidra kitchen sink soap dispenser.
Required Tools (Not Included):
- Adjustable wrench or pliers
- Drill (if no pre-drilled hole is available)
- Safety glasses
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Sink Hole: Ensure your sink or countertop has a pre-drilled hole with a diameter between 1 inch (2.54 cm) and 1.57 inches (4 cm). If not, carefully drill a new hole in the desired location, ensuring it is clear of any obstructions underneath.
- Insert the Pump Head: From above the sink, insert the pump head and spout assembly through the prepared hole. Ensure the decorative base sits flush on the countertop.
- Secure from Below: From underneath the sink, thread the large plastic nut onto the dispenser's threaded shank. Tighten the nut by hand until snug, then use an adjustable wrench or pliers to gently tighten it further, securing the dispenser firmly to the countertop. Do not overtighten.
- Attach the Bottle: Screw the 17 oz liquid bottle onto the threaded bottom of the dispenser shank. Ensure it is securely attached to prevent leaks.
- Initial Fill: Before first use, fill the bottle with your desired liquid soap. Pump the dispenser several times until soap begins to dispense smoothly.

- Reinsert the pump head assembly into the opening.

5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your soap dispenser.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the matte black finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning the Pump Mechanism: If the pump becomes stiff or clogged, remove the pump head and rinse it thoroughly under warm water. You can also pump warm water through the mechanism to clear any residue.
- Preventing Clogs: Use liquid soaps that are not excessively thick. If using thicker liquids, dilute them slightly with water to ensure smooth dispensing.
- Material Care: The dispenser is made of stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion. However, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or standing water can affect its appearance. Dry the dispenser after use to maintain its finish.
