Opening a Purell automatic soap dispenser typically refers to gaining access to the inside of the unit, most commonly for the purpose of replacing a refill. However, the provided reference describes a different, related action: priming the dispenser after a refill has been installed. The reference does not show or explain how to physically open the dispenser housing itself.
Understanding Priming Based on the Reference
The reference snippet comes from a video titled "Marketlab Demonstrates How to Refill the Purell TFX Dispenser". While the video's title suggests refilling (which would involve opening), the specific portion referenced (0:01 - 0:44) focuses on the crucial step after the refill is in place: priming the dispenser.
According to the reference:
- To Prime the refill:
- "place your hands under the dispenser until the sanitizer is dispensed."
This action activates the dispenser's sensor, prompting it to cycle and draw the product from the new refill through the pump mechanism. This ensures that the dispenser is ready for normal use and product flows correctly. This step is mentioned as available for viewing starting at the 0:01 mark in the video.
What the Reference Does Not Explain: Physical Opening
It's important to understand that the provided reference does not provide instructions or a visual demonstration of how to physically open the Purell automatic dispenser housing (like the TFX model mentioned) to insert or replace a refill.
The process for physically opening the dispenser varies by model but generally involves locating and operating a latch or button designed for this purpose.
- Typical Methods for Opening (Not detailed in reference):
- Look for a release button, often on the side or top of the dispenser.
- Some models may require a specific key or tool.
- Once the latch is released, the front cover usually swings open or detaches to reveal the refill compartment.
For exact instructions on how to open your specific model of Purell automatic dispenser, you should consult the user manual that came with your unit or check the official Purell or Gojo website for support documentation related to your dispenser model (e.g., TFX, LTX, CXM, etc.).
In summary, the provided reference only illustrates how to prime a Purell TFX dispenser by placing hands under the sensor until product dispenses, a step performed after the unit has been opened and refilled. It does not show how to physically open the dispenser housing.
