Using the Atlas Alaire Pull is easy. First, make sure you have the included mounting hardware. Line up the pull with the pre - drilled holes on your cabinet or drawer. Then, use the M4 screws to secure it tightly. When cleaning, you can use a mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the zinc alloy surface. For long - term maintenance, check the screws periodically to ensure they are tight. If you notice any signs of wear or looseness, replace the screws or the pull if necessary. This pull is designed for everyday use, but try not to put excessive force on it to maintain its longevity.
