What's included in the box

Box 2 Hand Sanitizing dispenser

Before You Begin

If you choose to plug your Surface mount [option B in the diagram below] into an outlet, then ensure that it will be located no more than 8 ft (2.4 m) from a 110V to 220V single-phase outlet with at least 0.25-amp capacity. Most standard outlets meet these requirements.

*The Surface mount can be plugged into an outlet or hardwired by a certified electrician.

Options for power location include:

A. Existing outlet between frame legs

B. Existing outlet to left or right of wall frame

C. Hardwiring the hand sanitizing dispenser. For this option, contact a certified electrician, who can install the dispenser in accordance with local building code requirements.

NOTE: The National Fire Protection Association requires that sanitizing dispensers be at least 1 in (2.5 cm) from any ignition source, including outlets, and cannot be located in the area directly above an ignition source.

Installation Instructions

PRE-INSTALLATION STEPS

1. Remove the Surface mount from box 1.

2. Adjust for the baseboard trim height.

  • If the baseboard trim along the bottom of the wall is thicker than 0.15 in (4 mm) and taller than 1 in (2.5 cm), then the Surface mount needs to be installed higher on the wall to compensate. The base posts can be removed if desired.
  • Otherwise, the mount can be attached to the wall with the base posts resting on the floor.

INSTALL SURFACE MOUNT TO WALL

1. Remove the lower box cover from the Surface mount by unscrewing the captive thumb screw.

2. Temporarily place the Surface mount in its desired location.

3. Rest the bottom edge of the mount on the baseboard if the baseboard is taller than 1 in (2.5 cm). Otherwise, rest the base posts directly on the floor.

4. Use a bubble level to ensure that the mount is flush with the floor.

5. Mark hole locations (A) and (B) using a pencil.

6. Remove the Surface mount from the wall.

7. If installing the Surface mount to drywall, insert the included drywall anchors with a Phillips screwdriver at the six marks. The anchors are self-tapping and do not require pre-drilling.

8. Align the frame with the anchor locations and attach using the six included screws and a Phillips screwdriver.

9. Route the cord through the notch and behind the frame (A) or through the oval hole in the bottom of the frame (B), but do not plug it in yet.

10. Take the Vaask hand sanitizing dispenser out of Box 2, and remove the foam inserts.

11. Attach the power cord connectors from the dispenser to the Surface mount.

12. With the dispenser door open, carefully align the dispenser to the opening of the Surface mount (A) and slide in until the edges are completely flush (B).

13. Hand-tighten the screw in each of the four corners of the enclosure (A).

14. Plug in, and turn on the switch within the enclosure. The front light should illuminate.

15. Store all excess cord within the bottom box area.

16. Replace the bottom box cover and attach using the captive thumb screw.


COMMISSION YOUR VAASK UNIT

1. With the empty tank still attached, press the “refill system” button to purge the fixture of residual sanitizer.

2. Press the silver tab on the dip tube connector to remove the empty tank from the dispenser.

• Unscrew the large, red cap on top of the refillable tank.

• Fill the tank to the desired fill level with hand sanitizer gel made of 60% to 95% alcohol.

NOTE: Fire code stipulates that the tank can be filled up to the following levels:
• 1.2 L in corridors and rooms open to corridors
• 2.0 L in rooms closed off by doors

• Put the large cap back on the dispenser and hand-tighten.

• Connect the filled tank to the dispenser by inserting the dip tube connector into the mating connector.

• Press the “refill system” button to prime the dispenser.

• Once the pump stops spinning, the dispenser is ready for use.

Care and Cleaning

Clean your dispenser once a week with a microfiber cloth and warm water.

Do not use paper towels or abrasive/harsh cleaners. This will damage the finishes.

5-Year Limited Product Warranty

Where Vaask, LLC (“Vaask,” “we” or “us”) has identified in or on product packaging or in a product website description that a Vaask-branded hand sanitizing dispenser has a 5-Year Limited Product Warranty (a “Qualifying Product”), then for that Qualifying Product, Vaask warrants to the original purchaser that the Qualifying Product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of five (5) years from the date of original shipment by Vaask of the Qualifying Product (the “Limited Warranty Period”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. This is a limited warranty, and it contains specific exclusions and limitations. This limited product warranty is non-transferable and applies only to a Qualifying Product sold directly by Vaask.

If a qualifying defect arises and a warranty claim is received by Vaask within the Limited Warranty Period, Vaask will, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, ship new or refurbished replacement parts to the original purchaser at no charge or replace the Qualifying Product with a new or refurbished product at no charge. To the extent permitted by law, these are your sole and exclusive remedies for a product defect, and Vaask’s total liability shall not exceed the invoice amount to the original purchaser for the defective Qualifying Product. This Limited Product Warranty is valid only in the jurisdictions where the products are sold directly by Vaask and is valid only to the extent permitted by the applicable laws of such jurisdictions. Any replacement product will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer, or for any additional period of time that may be required by applicable law.

1. How To Obtain Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service, you must contact Customer Service at +1 (512) 956-7687 or info@vaask.com. Proof of purchase must be presented upon Vaask’s request.

In some cases, a Vaask Customer Service representative will schedule a trouble-shooting call with the customer to attempt to diagnose the problem remotely. Based on our remote diagnostics, we may choose to ship the replacement part(s) to the customer free of charge. We may ask the customer to send us the defective components for diagnostics, in which case we will cover the return shipping costs provided the customer follows our shipping instructions. If we send replacement parts, the customer will have the option to install the replacement parts (following our provided instructions) or schedule a repair appointment for Vaask or one of our authorized service providers to conduct the repairs at the customer’s location. If we are unable to diagnose the problem remotely, or if we otherwise determine that replacement of the product is necessary, we will ship a replacement product free of charge. In these cases, the customer may choose to schedule an appointment with Vaask or one of our authorized service providers to install the replacement product.

2. Exclusions And Limitations
This Limited Product Warranty applies only to the original purchaser of a Qualifying Product. Without limiting the foregoing, the Limited Product Warranty does not apply to any Vaask products and services other than Qualifying Products; non-Vaask products, even if included or sold with a Qualifying Product; or consumables (such as hand sanitizer).

THIS LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO DAMAGE TO A PRODUCT OR PART OF A PRODUCT THAT HAS BEEN SERVICED, ALTERED, REFURBISHED OR MODIFIED BY ANYONE WHO IS NOT AUTHORIZED BY VAASK, NOR DOES IT APPLY TO ANY COSMETIC DAMAGE SUCH AS DISCOLORATION, SCRATCHES AND DENTS. IN ADDITION, THIS LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO DAMAGE OR DEFECTS CAUSED BY (A) USE WITH NON-VAASK PRODUCTS; (B) ACCIDENT, ABUSE, MISUSE, MISHANDLING, FLOOD, FIRE, EARTHQUAKE OR OTHER EXTERNAL CAUSES; (C) NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OR AGING OF THE PRODUCT; (D) OPERATING THE PRODUCT (I) OUTSIDE THE PERMITTED OR INTENDED USES DESCRIBED BY VAASK, (II) NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY VAASK, OR (III) WITH IMPROPER VOLTAGE OR POWER SUPPLY; OR (E) FAILURE TO CLEAN THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH VAASK’S CLEANING GUIDELINES.

No Vaask agent or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension or addition to this Limited Product Warranty. This Limited Product Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction. If any provision of our Limited Product Warranty is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions will remain enforceable.
