Using your Bradley waste receptacle is easy. Simply open the tumbler lock using the provided key, lift out the removable receptacle, and empty it when full. Make sure to handle the receptacle carefully as it's made of stainless steel and can be heavy. When installing, ensure the recess - mounting area is properly sized according to the provided dimensions. For maintenance, regularly wipe down the stainless - steel surfaces with a mild cleaner to keep the satin finish looking great. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. Check the tumbler lock periodically to ensure it's working correctly and lubricate it if necessary.
