Overview

This document is an installation guide for Kraus soap dispensers, covering models KSD-30, KSD-33, KSD-35, KSD-41, KSD-42, SD-20, and SD-25. It provides instructions for installation, a list of parts, and warranty information.

Function Description

The Kraus soap dispenser is designed to provide a convenient and integrated solution for dispensing liquid soap in a kitchen or bathroom setting. It consists of a pump mechanism, a dispenser base that mounts to the countertop, and a bottle that holds the soap, typically installed underneath the countertop. The primary function is to store and dispense liquid soap with a simple press of the pump, offering a clean and organized look by eliminating the need for separate soap bottles on the counter.

Usage Features

Easy Installation: The installation process is straightforward, requiring a pre-drilled hole in the countertop and an adjustable wrench. The guide outlines a four-step process:

  1. Disassembly: The soap dispenser needs to be disassembled into its main components (pump, dispenser base, rubber washers, mounting nut, and dispenser bottle) before installation.
  2. Mounting the Dispenser Base: The dispenser base, along with a rubber washer, is inserted into the pre-drilled hole from the top of the countertop. A second rubber washer and a mounting nut are then installed from underneath the countertop and tightened with an adjustable wrench until snug. This secures the dispenser base firmly to the countertop.
  3. Attaching and Filling the Bottle: The dispenser bottle is screwed onto the dispenser base from underneath the countertop. Once attached, the bottle can be filled with up to 12 ounces of liquid soap from the top, making refills convenient without needing to access the underside of the counter.
  4. Inserting the Pump: Finally, the pump mechanism is inserted into the dispenser base from the top. The user is instructed to press the pump several times to ensure the soap is evenly distributed and ready for use.

Convenient Refilling: One of the key usage features is the top-fill design. Users can easily refill the soap dispenser by simply removing the pump from the top and pouring soap directly into the bottle, eliminating the need to crawl under the sink to detach and reattach the bottle. This design enhances user convenience and simplifies maintenance.

Integrated Design: The dispenser is designed to be integrated seamlessly into the countertop, providing a sleek and uncluttered appearance. It eliminates the need for freestanding soap bottles, contributing to a more organized and aesthetically pleasing kitchen or bathroom environment.

Durable Construction: While specific material details are not provided in the usage features, the product is manufactured and tested to high-quality standards by Kraus USA Inc., suggesting a focus on durability and reliable performance for household use.

Maintenance Features

Easy Cleaning: The design of the soap dispenser, particularly the visible components like the pump and dispenser base, allows for easy cleaning with standard household cleaning agents. The guide implicitly advises against abrasive cleaners, bleach, ammonia, alcohol, chlorine, abrasive pads, steel wool, or wire brushes, as these can damage the finish. This suggests that routine cleaning with mild soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaner is recommended to maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting and Support: Kraus provides comprehensive customer support for any technical assistance or replacement parts. Users are encouraged to contact the Customer Service Team via a toll-free number or email. This ensures that any issues encountered during installation or use can be promptly addressed, contributing to the long-term usability and maintenance of the product. Having the model number and proof of purchase readily available is recommended for efficient service.

Warranty Coverage: The product comes with a one-year limited warranty for "Kitchen Accessories" for personal household use, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal usage. This warranty provides assurance and support for potential manufacturing defects, which is a key maintenance feature as it covers repairs or replacements. However, the warranty has specific restrictions:

  • It does not cover products purchased at discount outlets, unauthorized dealers, or sold on clearance.
  • It excludes damage due to negligence, misuse, abuse, improper installation, carelessness, accidents, hard water or mineral deposits, exposure to corrosive materials, misapplication, improper maintenance, alteration of the product, or failure to follow care/installation instructions.
  • It specifically warns against using abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the finish.
  • The warranty is void if the product is not installed by a fully insured and licensed trade professional.
  • It does not cover labor charges or costs of removal and reinstallation.
  • It excludes incidental or consequential damages.
  • Marine or outdoor installations are not covered.

For commercial use, a separate one-year commercial warranty is provided with similar exclusions. This detailed warranty information serves as a guide for users on how to properly care for and maintain their soap dispenser to ensure its longevity and to keep the warranty valid.

Repackaging for Returns: In case the product does not meet expectations and needs to be returned, the guide emphasizes the importance of repacking it in the original box and packaging material to prevent damage during transit. This highlights a practical aspect of product maintenance and care, even before full installation and use.
