Using this soap dispenser is easy. First, make sure to insert the appropriate batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. Then, fill the soap through the EZFill vanity-mounted top-fill port. When you place your hand under the spout, the hands-free sensor will detect it and dispense soap. The LED on the front will let you know if the dispenser is working properly and the battery condition. For maintenance, keep the dispenser clean by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. If the dispenser stops working, check the batteries and replace them if needed.
