Using this Bobrick combination dispenser and waste receptacle is easy. First, make sure you have the correct wall opening size as specified. Install it securely on the wall. To load the towels, open the door and place the desired type of towels - C-fold, multi-fold, or single-fold - inside. When someone needs a towel, they can simply pull one out. For the waste container, open the door to access it and throw away your trash. When it's full, remove the container, empty it, and put it back. As for maintenance, regularly wipe the satin-finish stainless steel surface with a soft cloth to keep it looking clean. Check the towel supply often to ensure there are always towels available. Also, make sure the waste container is properly sealed to prevent leaks. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the dispenser as they can damage the finish.
