Using this grab bar is easy. First, find a suitable surface for mounting. Make sure the surface is flat and can support the weight. Then, attach the grab bar to the surface using the provided mounting hardware. Once the bar is in place, slide the snap-on flange covers down over the flanges to conceal the screws. When using the grab bar, hold it firmly to ensure stability. Avoid putting excessive force on it. For maintenance, simply wipe the grab bar with a soft cloth regularly to keep it clean. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap and water solution. Don't use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the satin finish.
