Using this product is easy. First, install it according to the specified wall opening dimensions. You can load 350 C - fold or 475 multifold towels into the dispenser. When someone needs a towel, they can simply pull it out from the dispenser. The waste receptacle is there to collect trash. Make sure not to overload it as it has a 3.0 - gallon (11.3 - L) capacity. For maintenance, regularly remove the front panel to clean both the dispenser and the waste receptacle. If you plan to retrofit TowelMate or LinerMate as described, check the accessories section carefully. Also, keep the unit away from sharp objects that could scratch the satin - finish stainless steel surface.
