Using this Bobrick paper towel dispenser is a breeze. First, open the door with the 90° return feature to load your 300 C - fold or 400 multifold towels into the dispenser. When someone needs a towel, they can simply pull one out. The built - in TowelMate® will help reduce the amount of towel used. For the waste receptacle, just open the door and toss your trash inside. When the 1.6 - gallon waste container is full, remove it, empty it, and put it back. As for maintenance, keep the exterior clean with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Make sure to check the TowelMate® regularly to ensure it's working properly. Also, double - check the mounting on the wall to guarantee it stays secure, especially in high - traffic areas.
