Operating Instructions
The ICO Bath V218 Towel Bar is designed for holding towels and other lightweight bathroom textiles. Simply drape your items over the bar. Ensure items are evenly distributed to prevent undue stress on the mounting points.
Maintenance
To maintain the finish and longevity of your towel bar:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
- Dry the surface immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
- Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness and re-tighten if necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Towel bar feels loose after installation. | Mounting screws are not tight enough or wall anchors are not secure. | Re-tighten mounting screws. If anchors are loose, consider using larger anchors or relocating the bar to a more secure wall stud. |
| Scratches or discoloration on finish. | Use of abrasive cleaners or sharp objects. | Use only soft cloths and mild cleaners for maintenance. Damage from abrasive materials is typically permanent. |
