Using this Bradley toilet paper dispenser is a breeze. First, open the dispenser door. Then, place a standard core roll with a diameter of up to 5 - 1/2 inches on the chrome - plated plastic spindle. Close the door, and you're all set. When the paper runs out, just repeat the process. As for maintenance, keep the dispenser clean by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the satin finish. If you've chosen the anti - theft spindle option, make sure to keep the key in a safe place. Also, check the spindle periodically to ensure it rotates freely for smooth paper delivery.
