Using this soap dispenser is easy. Just open the vandal - resistant locking cover and fill the 34 - fl. oz. container through the integrated funnel. Then close the cover. When you press the spout, it'll dispense foam soap. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a soft cloth regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the bright - polished parts. If the dispenser seems clogged, you can gently clean the spout. Also, make sure to keep it away from sharp objects to prevent damage to the high - impact - resistant ABS body and shatter - resistant container.
