Using this product is simple. First, install it flush against the side wall in an accessible toilet compartment. Make sure there's enough space for a grab bar above. You can load up to 500 paper covers into the seat - cover dispenser and use it as needed. When it comes to the toilet tissue dispenser on the right side, just pull out the tissue when you require it. For waste disposal, when the 0.4 - gallon (1.5 - L) capacity is full, remove the waste receptacle for servicing. As for maintenance, since it's made of satin - finish stainless steel, a simple wipe - down can keep it clean. Just be careful not to use abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. And always follow the installation instructions to ensure it's properly set up and safe to use.
