Using this grab bar is easy. Just find a suitable place on the wall, drill holes according to the flange positions, and install it with the provided mounting hardware. Then, simply slide the flange covers down and snap them over the flanges. When using, hold it firmly with your hand for support. Remember, don't use excessive force on it to avoid damage. For maintenance, wipe it regularly with a soft cloth to keep its satin finish. If there are stains, you can use a mild stainless - steel cleaner. Make sure the area around the grab bar is dry to prevent rusting. Also, check the mounting hardware from time to time to ensure it's still secure.
