6.1. Self-Adhesive Installation (for Smooth Surfaces)
This method is suitable for smooth surfaces such as marble, metal, wood, and glass.
- Clean and dry the desired installation area thoroughly.
- Peel off the protective film from the back of the adhesive pads on the paper towel holder.
- Press the holder firmly against the wall for at least 30 seconds to ensure good adhesion.
- Important: Wait 24 hours before hanging any items or placing a paper towel roll to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

6.2. Drilled Installation (for Rough or Uneven Surfaces)
This method is recommended for rough surfaces, paint walls, powder walls, or wallpaper.

- Drill holes at the marked positions. Insert the wall anchors into the drilled holes.
- Align the holder with the holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws.

7. Operating Instructions
7.1. Loading a Paper Towel Roll
Slide a standard-sized paper towel roll onto the holder rod. Ensure the roll is centered and spins freely. The internal damping mechanism will provide slight resistance.
7.2. Tearing Paper Towels
Pull the desired amount of paper towel downwards. The ratchet design creates tension, allowing you to tear off a single sheet with one hand without the entire roll unraveling.
7.3. Using the Integrated Shelf
The top shelf can be used to store small items such as spices, cleaning supplies, diffusers, or decorative plants. The raised lip helps prevent items from falling.

8. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your paper towel holder:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the matte black finish.
- The stainless steel construction is designed to be waterproof and rust-resistant, making it suitable for damp environments.

9. Troubleshooting
- Issue: Paper towel roll does not fit or rotate freely.
Solution: Ensure your paper towel roll's inner diameter is between 1.3" and 2.2" and its external diameter is between 1.38" and 4.25". Rolls exceeding these dimensions may not fit or function correctly. - Issue: Holder is not securely attached to the wall (adhesive method).
Solution: Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Allow the adhesive to cure for a full 24 hours before placing any weight on the holder. For heavy loads or if the adhesive fails, consider using the drilled installation method. - Issue: Holder is not securely attached to the wall (drilled method).
Solution: Verify that the screws are tightened properly and that the wall anchors are correctly installed in suitable wall material. - Issue: Paper towel tears unevenly or with difficulty.
Solution: Check if the paper towel roll is properly seated on the rod and not obstructed. The damping mechanism should provide consistent tension.
