Safety Information

WARNING! Improper installation can cause the mirror to fall, resulting in serious injury or death.

Weight & Handling: The mirror is heavy and fragile. Always use two people to lift and position it.
Wall Suitability: Mount only to a solid wall that can support the mirror's weight (see specifications). Do not mount to hollow doors, plasterboard without proper anchors, or unstable surfaces.
Child Safety: Keep children and pets away from the assembly area. Ensure the installed mirror is secure and out of reach if possible.
Tool Safety: Use tools as intended and wear safety glasses when drilling.

CAUTION! The mirror edges can be sharp. Handle with care and consider wearing gloves during assembly.

Assembly Instructions

Assemble the mounting brackets to the mirror before attempting to mount it on the wall.

Prepare Workspace: Lay the mirror face down on a soft, flat, protected surface (e.g., a blanket or cardboard).
Attach Brackets: Locate the pre-drilled holes on the back of the mirror. Align the upper bracket (B) and lower bracket (C) with these holes.
Secure Brackets: Using the provided screws, fasten each bracket securely to the mirror back. Do not overtighten.
Final Check: Ensure both brackets are firmly attached and not loose.

Tip: Have a helper hold the brackets in place while you start the screws.

Wall Mounting

This is the most critical step. Accuracy is essential for a secure and level installation.

Plan Placement: Decide on the desired height and location. Ensure there is enough space and the wall is suitable.
Mark Bracket Positions: Hold the mirror (with brackets attached) against the wall. Use a pencil to mark the screw holes for the upper bracket. Use a level to ensure your marks are horizontal.
Drill Pilot Holes: At the marked points, drill pilot holes appropriate for your wall type (use included wall plugs for masonry).
Mount Upper Bracket: Align the upper bracket with the pilot holes and secure it to the wall with the provided screws. Ensure it is tight and flush.
Hang the Mirror: With the help of another person, carefully lift the mirror and hook the upper bracket on the mirror onto the wall-mounted bracket.
Secure Lower Bracket: Let the mirror rest against the wall. Mark, drill, and secure the lower bracket to the wall. This bracket prevents the mirror from tilting forward.
Final Security Check: Gently try to tilt the mirror. It should not move. Ensure all screws are tight.

WARNING! Never lean or put pressure on the mirror once it is hung. Test stability gently.

Care & Cleaning

Proper care will maintain the mirror's clarity and finish.

Wiping: Wipe the mirror surface gently in a circular motion. Dry with a separate dry cloth to prevent streaks.
Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based products on framed edges (if applicable), or excessive moisture near the edges.

CAUTION! Never use sharp objects or excessive force on the mirror surface.

Troubleshooting

Mirror is not level	Wall brackets not installed level.	Loosen bracket screws slightly, adjust using a level, and retighten. Do this before hanging the mirror.
