Using this tissue dispenser is easy. First, open the dispenser and place the tissue box inside. Then, close it up, and you're ready to go. Whenever you need a tissue, just pull one out from the opening. As for maintenance, you can wipe the stainless - steel faceplate with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep it looking shiny. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. Also, make sure to refill the tissues when the box runs out to always have them on hand.
