Using this Bradley combination unit is easy. First, open the door using the provided keys for the tumbler locks. Then, load your preferred paper towels - either C-fold or multi-fold - into the dispenser. When you need a towel, simply pull one out. For the waste receptacle, lift the door and throw your trash inside. The removable, leakproof insert makes emptying the waste easy. Just take it out, empty it, and put it back. As for maintenance, regularly wipe down the stainless - steel surfaces with a soft cloth to keep the satin finish looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface. Check the towel dispenser regularly to ensure there are enough towels. And make sure to empty the waste receptacle before it gets too full to prevent any spills.
