Using this toilet seat cover dispenser is a breeze. First, make sure it's properly surface - mounted on the wall. Open the door using the hinge, and then load up to 250 standard, single - fold or half - fold paper toilet seat covers into the cabinet. When someone needs a seat cover, they can simply pull one out from the dispensing slot. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a mild cleaning solution regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the stainless - steel surface. Check the hinge periodically to ensure it's working smoothly. If you notice any issues like the seat covers getting stuck, check the dispensing slot for any debris or misaligned covers.
