Using the Atlas Alcott Square Knob is a breeze. First, make sure you have the mounting hardware that comes with it. Then, simply attach the knob to your cabinet or furniture following the standard installation steps. When using it, don't apply excessive force as the knob is durable but rough handling can still cause damage. For maintenance, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the zinc alloy finish. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but dry it thoroughly afterward. With proper care, this knob will serve you well for a long time.
