Installation Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for safe and secure installation.
- Choose Location: Select a solid wall (plaster, brick, concrete) that can support the mirror's weight. Avoid hollow walls without proper anchors.
- Mark Bracket Positions: Hold the mirror against the wall at desired height. Use a pencil to mark the top edge and center point. Use the mounting brackets as templates to mark screw holes. Ensure marks are level.
- Drill Holes: Drill holes at marked points using the correct drill bit size for the wall plugs.
- Insert Wall Plugs: Tap wall plugs into drilled holes until flush with the wall.
- Attach Brackets: Align brackets with holes and secure them to the wall using screws. Do not fully tighten until all screws are started.
- Hang Mirror: With assistance, lift the mirror and hook it onto the mounted brackets. Ensure it is securely seated and does not wobble.
- Final Check: Gently test the mirror's stability. Adjust if necessary.
Mounting Guidelines
For optimal safety and performance:
- Wall Type: Must be solid and capable of bearing the mirror's weight. Use appropriate anchors for your wall material.
- Height: Mount at a comfortable viewing height, typically 60-65 inches from the floor to the mirror's center.
- Orientation: Can be mounted horizontally (landscape) or vertically (portrait) based on bracket placement.
- Spacing from Moisture: In bathrooms, ensure adequate ventilation to reduce condensation on the mirror surface.
- Child Safety: Mount out of reach of young children if possible, and ensure it is securely fixed.
Care & Cleaning
To maintain the mirror's appearance and longevity:
- Unplug any nearby electrical appliances before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth or microfiber towel.
- For cleaning, use a mild glass cleaner or a solution of water and vinegar. Spray onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror.
- Gently wipe the surface in a circular motion. Avoid excessive pressure.
- Dry with a separate clean, dry cloth to prevent streaks.
CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based products, or solvents. Do not spray liquids directly onto the frame or near its edges.
