Product Overview

Maintenance

Cleaning the Exterior

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

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

Refilling the tank

When your sanitizer tank is empty, follow these steps:

Step 1: With the empty tank still attached, press the middle button inside the door to clear the system of any remaining sanitizer. Wait for the front panel LED light to stop blinking red.

Step 2: When the light on the door turns yellow-green, unplug the tank by pressing the silver tab near the dip tube fitting and remove the tank.

Step 3: Unscrew and remove the refill cap on top of the refillable tank.

NOTE: If your sanitizer gel is more than six months old, we recommend rinsing out the tank and drying before refilling.

Step 4: Fill the tank to the desired level with quality hand sanitizer gel made of 60% to 75% ethyl alcohol.

NOTE: Fire code requires that the tank not be filled to more than:
• 1.2 L in corridors and rooms open to corridors
• 2.0 L in rooms closed off by doors

Step 5: Put the refill cap back on the tank and hand-tighten.

Step 6: Connect the filled tank to the Vaask fixture by inserting the tube fitting into the connector. It will make a "click" sound when connected properly.

Step 7: Press the middle button inside the door to prime the fixture.

Step 8: Once the door light stops blinking, place your hand within 4 inches of the dispensing nozzle 3-4 times to activate the pump and confirm that the sanitizer is dispensing properly.

Updating firmware

When a new firmware update is available for your Vaask fixture, you will be notified. Firmware is the software that helps the hardware do its job. For example, updates can make the sensor even more precise or allow fixtures to connect to Wi-Fi.

Step 1: Make sure the Vaask fixture’s power switch is on [-].

Step 2: Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port, located in the upper left corner of the enclosure.

Step 3: The front LED lights will begin blinking. The number of red and green blinks should correspond to the version of firmware being installed, as seen in the video above. For example, three red blinks followed by one green blink indicates version 3.1.

Wait for the front LED lights to stop blinking. The pump will prime by rotating for a few seconds.

If the number of blinks doesn’t match the firmware you are supposed to be installing, call customer service at +1 (512) 956-7687.

Step 4: Remove the USB flash drive and close the door.

Your fixture is now ready to use.

Cleaning the nozzle

Step 1: Flip the power switch off [o].

Step 2: Turning clockwise, unscrew and remove the nozzle.

Step 3: Holding the nozzle in one hand, insert the nozzle brush into the opening. Move the brush up and down to clear the opening of any dried gel. Inspect the nozzle to make sure the opening is clear.

Step 4: Turning counterclockwise, hand-tighten the nozzle gently until it stops. Do not over-tighten.

Step 5: Flip the power switch on [-].

Step 6: Once the light on the front panel stops blinking, place your hand within 4 inches of the dispensing nozzle 3-4 times to activate the pump and confirm that the sanitizer is dispensing properly.
