1. Before assembling bottom cover to the Cuspidor, but after thoroughly flushing the supply line and
connecting it to the fixture, turn on building water supply and check all connections for leaks.
2. Air within the Fountain & Cuspidor or the structure supply piping will cause an irregular outlet stream
until purged out by incoming water.
3. Recheck all water and drain connections with water flowing through system.
4. Install Removable Access Covers to the Fountain & Cuspidor bottom Mounting Bracket, install the
supplied #8-32 screws from the bottom of the Removable Access Cover.

representative or distributor. The phone number to locate your local representative is 1.800.591.9360.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
1. Periodically remove access panels and clean out in-line strainer.
2. Do NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasive or petroleum based cleaners. Use of these will void the Acorn
warranty.
3. Exterior panels can be cleaned using mild household detergents or warm, soapy water. Extra care
must be used cleaning chrome plated items and mirror finished stainless steel. They can scratch easily
and should only be cleaned using a clean, soft cloth and mild soap with water or a mild glass cleaner.
