3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the stability and longevity of your tissue holder. Please follow these steps carefully.

Tools Required:

• Pencil
• Measuring Tape
• Level
• Drill with appropriate drill bit (e.g., 1/4 inch for drywall anchors)
• Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)

Installation Steps:

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable location on your wall, ensuring it is at a comfortable height and accessible for changing tissue rolls. Use a level to ensure the mounting points will be horizontal.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the tissue holder assembly against the wall at the desired location. Use a pencil to mark the centers of the mounting holes on both base plates. Alternatively, use the provided installation template if available.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using the appropriate drill bit for your wall material (e.g., 1/4 inch for drywall anchors), carefully drill pilot holes at the marked points.
4. Insert Anchors (if needed): If drilling into drywall, gently tap the plastic wall anchors into the pilot holes until they are flush with the wall surface.
5. Mount the Holder: Align the mounting holes on the tissue holder's base plates with the drilled holes or anchors. Insert the mounting screws and tighten them securely with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the wall or the fixture.
6. Verify Stability: Gently tug on the installed tissue holder to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall and does not wobble.

4. Operating Instructions

Using your Alno tissue holder is straightforward:

1. Loading a Roll: To load a new toilet paper roll, gently pull one of the spring-loaded arms outwards. Place the toilet paper roll onto the spindle, then release the arm to secure the roll in place.
2. Removing a Roll: To remove an empty or partially used roll, repeat the process of pulling one arm outwards and sliding the roll off the spindle.

5. Maintenance and Care

To maintain the beauty and finish of your Alno tissue holder, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, or strong chemical solvents, as these can damage the polished antique finish.
• Living Finish: The polished antique finish is a "living finish" and may naturally patina or change coloration over time with use. This is a natural process that enhances the unique beauty of the hardware.
• Periodic Check: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness and re-tighten if necessary to ensure the holder remains secure.
