Handling Tips
• Always place the mirror on a soft surface e.g. carpet or folded towels.
The edge of the mirror will almost certainly chip if placed on a stone or tiles or hard surface.
•
If your mirror has frosted glass on the backbe careful not to touch that area as it may leave ngerprints that you will have to clean o.
• Mirrors are heavy and fragile. Always lift with two people to share the load. Move slowly and carefully, plan and discuss what you are
goingto do.
Do not remove protective lm or plastic corners until your mirror is installed
Move mirrors SLOWLY. Plan what you are doing.
Before tting the mounting structure to the wall or wiring for power connection:
You will need to know the location of:
• the wall studs
• water pipes
• electrical cables
Consult your plans and have a licensed electrician install electrical requirements for your mirror in accordance with this
installation guide.
Electrical installation
A light switch to operate the mirror should be installed, on the
wall or other convenient location, by a licensed electrician.
If a de-mister is fitted to the mirror it can be operated by the
same or different switch.
The switch connects a power outlet for the driver. To ensure
easy access the driver can be located in the vanity cupboard
under the mirror, or in the ceiling. It is not recommended to
locate the driver in the wall cavity behind the mirror as the
mirror would have to be removed to change out the driver if
necessary.
From the driver a low voltage cable will run inside the wall
to protrude at the approximate centre of the mirror mounting
structure, ready for connection to the LEDs (and de-mister if
applicable).

STEP 1 -
Fitting the mounting structure to the wall:
The mounting structure is to be installed using a minimum of 5 button head screws of 8 gauge X 40mm length, combined with
the appropriate wall plugs or expanding wall anchors depending on the type of wall and wall cladding.
If the mounting structure lines up with a wall stud even better, just drill another hole/s in the White MDF and screw through
into the wall stud.
Do not drill through the split battens as this will result in bending them out of alignment when screwed to the wall.
As a guide, the mirrors weigh approximately 20kg to 25kg per square metre.
Start by plotting the planned position of the mirror on the wall:
• Mark the top centre of where the mirror will be on the wall.
• Mark out the position of the hole for the first mounting screw (#1) - 120mm down from the top centre point.
• Drill the first hole in the wall at that position
• Fit wall plug or expanding wall anchor. Then screw the mounting structure to the wall through screw hole #1.
• Adjust to level by pivoting on the screw.
• When level, using the mounting structure as a template, mark out or drill pilot holes into the wall through the holes in the
mounting structure. (marked with ʼ#ʼ, see the diagram below)
• Now unscrew the mounting structure and place it aside so you can complete the drilling of the other holes in the wall.
Then set up the wall plugs or wall anchors as before and screw the mounting structure to the wall with all screws.
• Check there is no foreign material caught in the split battens.

STEP 2 -
Connecting the mirror lights to power
You need at least two people for this next procedure.
• If there is no vanity cupboard in front of the mounting structure use a table or similar. Make sure you have folded towels or
similar padding in place to rest the mirror on. Lift the mirror into a vertical position in front of the mounting structure allowing
enough room at one side to reach in and join the cables.
• Have someone hold the mirror vertically in place while you take the 12volt cable (protruding from the wall) from the LED
driver and connect it to the cable, (from the LEDs on the mirror), using insulated cable joiners.
• The same procedure applies to 12volt cable for demister if demister is fitted to mirror.
• Make sure the wires will not interfere with the split battens when the mirror is lifted into position. Excess cables can be taped
out of the way on the mounting structure or preferably inserted into the wall cavity.
STEP 3 - Hanging the mirror on the mounting structure
• NOTE : First note the position on the wall where the top centre of the mirror needs to be i.e. When the mirror is level and
placed 20mm to 25mmm above the top centre mark on the wall the split battens on the mirror will be high enough to engage
the other split battens on the mounting structure. Do not lift it higher than this. Randomly moving the mirror around on the wall
trying to feel out the split battens will cause damage to the mirror from the split battens. (Yes, it has been done more than a
couple of times, thats why I am telling you)
With the bigger mirrors you will need 2 people two people to lift the mirror.
• Now lift into this position, the mirror can be pressed flat on the wall and allowed to slide down into position to engage the split
battens.
NOTE It is possible to engage only the top or bottom batten, so at this point do not release the mirror until you are sure both split
battens are engaged and the mirror is sitting flat against the wall. If you need to adjust the mirror sideways just lift slightly so
the split battens release their grip and the mirror will be easier to slide.
STEP 4 - Removing the protective plastic
When the mirror is securely in place ccarefully peel the protective plastic coating from the front of the mirror glass, starting at
the top and slowly peel down.
Care and Cleaning
On the edge of every the mirror there is a thin line of silver that is exposed to the air. Silver will tarnish eventually and the
tarnish may spread under the paint. The mirrors we use employ the latest and best paint technology to prevent this. In order to
protect your mirror even more we apply an edge sealer. Cleaning the edge of the mirror with commercial cleaners is
unnecessary and may eventually damage that edge seal. To clean the mirror edge all you need is a quick wipe down with a soft
cloth dampened with distilled water.
DO NOT USE CLEANERS ON THE EDGE OR BACK OF THE MIRROR. Even air born chemicals e.g. toilet flush chemicals, may
tarnish your mirror,
When cleaning a mirror simply wipe the glass surface with a few drops of methylated spirits or Isopropyl Alcohol on a clean
slightly damp cotton cloth. We have found the Isopropyl Alcohol is the best for cleaning mirrors.
Do not use cleaners containing Ammonia, or bleach, this will void warranty
Some paper towels may leave a smear.
