3.2 Installation Steps

1. Prepare Rough Wall Opening: Create a rough wall opening with dimensions of 6 inches width, 4 inches height, and a minimum depth of 4 inches (150 x 100 x 100mm). Ensure the opening is clean and free of debris.
2. Determine Mounting Height: For barrier-free applications, mount the unit at a height of 38–48 inches (965–1220mm) above the finish floor, on the same wall as the shower head. Adjust height as needed for other applications.
3. Position the Unit: Insert the soap dish into the prepared wall opening. Ensure it is level and flush with the wall surface.
4. Secure with Mounting Clamp: Utilize the integrated mounting clamp designed for stud walls. Secure the unit firmly to the studs using appropriate fasteners (not included, typically screws suitable for wood or metal studs).
5. Final Check: Verify that the soap dish is securely mounted and does not wobble.

Note: Always consult local building codes and regulations before beginning installation.

4. Operation

The Bobrick 4390 soap dish is designed for straightforward use. Simply place a bar of soap onto the dish. The integrated bar helps to keep the soap in place, and the drainage holes in the dish prevent water accumulation, promoting soap longevity.

5. Care and Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Bobrick 4390 soap dish, follow these guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel surface regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemical solutions (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based cleaners) as these can damage the matte polished finish.
• Rinse Thoroughly: After cleaning, rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Remove Soap Scum: For stubborn soap scum, use a cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel or a solution of vinegar and water, followed by thorough rinsing.
