Using this grab bar is easy. Just mount it securely using the concealed anchors through the screw holes in the mounting flange. Then snap the cover over the flange to hide the screws. When using the grab bar, hold it firmly for support. Make sure not to apply excessive force or use it for hanging heavy objects other than for support. To maintain the grab bar, simply wipe it with a soft cloth regularly. You can use a mild stainless - steel cleaner if there are stubborn stains. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface of the grab bar.
