1. Introduction

The Alno Manhattan Modern Tissue Holder (Model A7460-PC) is a high-quality bathroom accessory designed to complement modern interiors. Crafted with precision, this polished chrome tissue holder offers both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

2. Safety Information

Please observe the following safety precautions during installation and use:

• Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as safety glasses, when drilling or handling tools.
• Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and capable of supporting the fixture.
• Keep small parts and hardware out of reach of children to prevent choking hazards.
• Do not overtighten screws, as this may damage the product or mounting surface.
• If you are unsure about any step of the installation process, consult a qualified professional.

3. Package Contents

Carefully unpack your tissue holder and verify that all components are present. The package should contain:

• Alno Manhattan Modern Tissue Holder assembly (1 unit)
• Mounting hardware (screws, wall anchors)
• Installation template (if included)

If any parts are missing or damaged, please contact Alno customer support immediately.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your tissue holder:

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable location on your wall, ensuring it is at a convenient height and clear of any electrical wiring or plumbing.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Use the provided installation template (if applicable) or measure the distance between the mounting holes on the tissue holder. Mark the drilling points on the wall with a pencil. Ensure the marks are level.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., masonry bit for tile/concrete, wood bit for studs), drill pilot holes at the marked points. If drilling into drywall without a stud, use the provided wall anchors.
4. Install Mounting Brackets: Secure the mounting brackets (if separate from the main assembly) to the wall using the screws. Ensure they are firmly attached.
5. Attach Tissue Holder: Align the tissue holder assembly with the mounting brackets or directly with the drilled holes. Secure it in place using the provided set screws or by tightening the main screws.
6. Verify Stability: Gently tug on the installed tissue holder to ensure it is securely fastened to the wall and does not wobble.

6. Maintenance and Care

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Alno Manhattan Modern Tissue Holder, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For polished finishes, use a mild soap solution if necessary, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or any products containing bleach, acids, or harsh chemicals. These can damage the finish and void the warranty.
• Protect Finish: Avoid direct contact with sharp objects or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
• Living Finishes: For products with "living finishes" (e.g., Unlacquered Brass), expect the finish to naturally change and patina over time with use and exposure to air. This is an intended characteristic and enhances the unique beauty of the product.
