Safety Instructions

Please read all instructions before assembly and mounting.

Work Area: Assemble on a clean, soft, flat surface to avoid scratching the frame or glass.
Handling Glass/Acrylic: Handle with care. If the frame contains glass, avoid impact. Use gloves if edges are sharp.
Wall Mounting: Ensure the wall is suitable for the weight. Use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type (plaster, drywall, concrete).
Children & Pets: Keep small parts away from children during assembly. Once mounted, ensure the frame is secure and out of reach if possible.
Lifting: If the assembled frame is large or heavy, use two people to lift and mount it.

WARNING! An improperly mounted frame can fall, causing injury or damage. Always use the provided hardware and follow mounting instructions for your wall type.

Assembly Steps

Follow these steps to prepare your frame for hanging.

Remove Protective Film: Carefully peel off the clear plastic film from both sides of the glass or acrylic front panel.
Open the Frame: Lay the frame face down on a soft cloth. Release the metal or plastic clips/springs securing the back panel. Gently remove the back panel and set aside.
Insert Your Picture: Place the cardboard backing into the frame. Position your photo or artwork on top of the backing, ensuring it is centered. You may use the included mat if provided.
Close the Frame: Carefully place the back panel over the picture and backing. Secure it by pressing the clips or springs back into place around the entire perimeter. Ensure all clips are firmly fastened.
Attach Hanging Hardware: If not pre-attached, fix the wall mounting bracket(s) to the back of the frame using the provided screws. Ensure they are centered and tight.

Tip: Do not overtighten clips or screws, as this may damage the frame.

Wall Mounting

Proper mounting is crucial for safety and display.

Choose Location: Select a wall area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or high humidity to prevent picture damage.
Mark the Wall: Hold the assembled frame against the wall to find your desired position. Use a pencil to lightly mark the top center of the frame's position. Use a spirit level to ensure your mark is level.
Measure for Hook/Bracket: Measure the distance from the top of the frame's back to the peak of the mounted hanging wire or bracket. Transfer this measurement down from your pencil mark on the wall. This new point is where your wall hook or screw will go.
Install Wall Anchor & Screw:
- For Solid Walls (Brick/Concrete): Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the wall plug. Insert the wall plug. Screw in the mounting screw, leaving about 5mm (1/4 inch) protruding from the wall to hang the bracket.
- For Drywall/Plaster: Use appropriate drywall anchors (may be included). Follow anchor instructions to install securely.
Hang the Frame: Lift the frame and carefully hook the mounting bracket or wire onto the installed screw. Gently release the weight. Use the spirit level again on top of the frame to make final adjustments.
Final Check: Gently pull downward on the frame to ensure it is securely mounted.

CAUTION! If mounting multiple frames, plan layout on the floor first. For heavy frames or unsure wall conditions, consult a professional.

Inserting & Changing Pictures

To change the displayed content, follow the assembly steps in reverse.

Carefully remove the frame from the wall and lay it face down on a soft surface.
Release the securing clips/springs and remove the back panel.
Remove the old picture and backing.
Insert the new picture with its backing, ensuring it is centered.
Replace the back panel and secure all clips.
Re-hang the frame on the wall.

Tip: For frequent changes, consider using a digital photo frame. Handle pictures by the edges to avoid fingerprints.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will keep your frame looking new.

Cleaning the Glass/Acrylic: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild glass cleaner. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the frame. Spray onto the cloth first, then wipe gently.
Cleaning the Frame: Dust with a dry, soft cloth. For wood or painted frames, avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals.
Environment: Avoid placing in areas of extreme temperature, humidity, or direct sunlight, which can fade pictures and damage materials.

WARNING! Never use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or harsh chemicals like acetone or ammonia-based cleaners, especially on acrylic fronts, as they can cause permanent clouding or cracking.
