4. Setup and Installation

Tools Required:

• Pencil

Installation Steps:

• Cleaning: Wipe the handles regularly with a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or chemical solvents, as these can scratch or damage the stainless steel finish.
• Drying: Dry the handles immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.

7. Troubleshooting

• Loose Handle: If the handle becomes loose, gently tighten the mounting screws from the inside of the cabinet or drawer using an appropriate screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
• Scratches: Minor surface scratches on stainless steel may sometimes be reduced using a specialized stainless steel polish and a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Deep scratches may require professional attention or replacement.
