Wall mounting: Ensure wall can support frame weight. Use appropriate wall anchors for heavy frames or plaster/drywall.
Children and pets: Keep frames out of reach of small children and away from areas where they could be pulled down.
Cleaning: Unplug any electronic components (if applicable) and use appropriate cleaners.

WARNING! Glass can break. Avoid placing in high-traffic areas where it may be knocked over.

Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your RIBBA frame.

Prepare workspace: Lay frame face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
Insert picture: Place your photo/artwork against the backing board. Ensure it is centered.
Add protective front: Carefully place the glass/acrylic sheet over the picture.
Secure into frame: Place the layered stack (glass, picture, backing) into the frame recess.
Lock backing: Bend the metal flexi tabs or press the plastic clips around the frame edges to secure the backing board firmly in place.
Attach hanging hardware: For wall mounting, proceed to next section. For tabletop use, attach the stand.

Tip: Ensure all flexi tabs are fully engaged to prevent the backing from coming loose.

Wall Mounting

Secure and level your frame on the wall.

Choose location: Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity to protect your picture.
Mark the wall: Hold frame against wall at desired height. Lightly mark top center or where the hanger will sit.
Install hardware: Hammer the provided nail or screw into the wall at your mark. For heavier frames, use a wall anchor.
Hang and level: Hang the frame on the nail/screw. Use a level to ensure it is straight.
Final check: Gently tug downward on the frame to ensure it is securely mounted.

CAUTION! Use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type (drywall, plaster, brick).

Tabletop Display

Use the included stand for shelf or table display.

Attach stand: The stand typically clips or screws onto the back of the frame at the center bottom.
Adjust angle: Some stands allow you to adjust the leaning angle. Set it to your preference.
Place on stable surface: Ensure the surface is level and the frame is not near the edge.

Note: The stand is designed for lightweight display on stable surfaces. Do not use on unstable shelves.

Changing the Picture

To update the artwork in your frame.

Lay frame face down on a soft surface.
Carefully unbend the flexi tabs or unclip the securing clips around the frame edges.
Remove the backing board, then the old picture and glass/acrylic front.
Insert new picture, ensuring it is centered.
Replace the glass/acrylic front and backing board.
Re-secure all tabs or clips firmly.

Tip: Handle glass/acrylic by the edges to avoid fingerprints.

Care & Cleaning

Maintain your frame's appearance.

Frame: Dust with a soft, dry cloth. For smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
Glass front: Clean with a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Spray cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass.
Acrylic front: Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or paper towels which can scratch.
Do not: Immerse frame in water, use harsh chemicals, or place near heat sources.

CAUTION! Never spray liquid directly onto the frame or glass to prevent moisture seeping inside.
