4. Safety Information

• Always use appropriate tools for installation.
• Ensure the mounting surface is suitable and can support the weight of the holder and a full paper towel roll.
• Keep small parts (screws, anchors) away from children to prevent choking hazards.
• Avoid over-tightening screws during installation to prevent damage to the product or mounting surface.

5. Setup and Installation

This paper towel holder can be mounted vertically or horizontally on a wall or under a cabinet. Installation requires basic tools (not included): a pencil, a drill, and a screwdriver.

Installation Steps:

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable location for mounting. Consider accessibility and clearance for paper towel rolls. The holder can be mounted on a wall, under a cabinet, or inside a cabinet door.
2. Mark Drill Points: Hold the paper towel holder in the desired position. Use a pencil to mark the locations for the two mounting screws through the pre-drilled holes on the holder's backplate.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill, create pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit should be appropriate for the included wall anchors (if drilling into drywall) or slightly smaller than the screw diameter (if drilling into wood).
4. Insert Wall Anchors (if needed): If mounting into drywall, gently tap the plastic wall anchors into the pilot holes until they are flush with the surface.
5. Mount the Holder: Align the paper towel holder with the drilled holes (or anchors). Insert the provided screws through the holder's mounting holes and into the pilot holes/anchors.
6. Secure the Holder: Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws until the holder is firmly secured to the surface. Do not overtighten.

6. Operating Instructions

Inserting a Paper Towel Roll:

1. Ensure the holder is securely mounted.
2. Slide a standard or jumbo paper towel roll onto the holder's bar. The open end of the holder allows for easy loading.

Dispensing Paper Towels:

• Pull the desired amount of paper towel from the roll.
• Tear the paper towel against the edge of the holder or by hand.

7. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your mDesign Paper Towel Holder:

• Cleaning: Wipe the holder regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used.
• Drying: Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots, especially on the polished stainless steel finish.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the finish.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your paper towel holder, consider the following:

• Holder feels loose: Check the mounting screws. Tighten them gently if they have become loose over time. Ensure the wall anchors (if used) are properly seated.
• Paper towel roll does not turn smoothly: Ensure the roll is properly centered on the holder. Verify that the roll is not too wide for the holder's design (maximum width is approximately 11.5 inches).
• Scratches on surface: Polished stainless steel can show minor scratches from abrasive contact. Follow maintenance guidelines to prevent further damage.
