Before fitting the lightbox to the wall or wiring for power connection:
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. The driver
can be located in the vanity cupboard under the mirror for
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.
easy access, or in the ceiling, or in the wall cavity behind the
mirror, etc.
From the driver a low voltage cable will run inside the wall
to protrude at the approximate centre of the mirror lightbox,
ready for connection to the LEDs (and de-mister if
applicable).
Installation Instructions
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.
•
Do not touch the frosted glass strips on the back of the mirror. You may end up with the extra task of cleaning off your fingerprints.
• Mirrors are heavy and fragile. Always lift with two people to share the load. Move slowly and carefully, plan and discuss
what you are going to do.
Do not remove protective film or plastic corners until your mirror is installed
Move mirrors SLOWLY. Plan what you are doing.

STEP 1 -
Fitting the lightbox to the wall:
The lightbox will be installed using a minimum of four 8 gauge x 40mm button head screws or other engineering approved
fasteners.
Mark out on the wall for screw holes:
• Draw a pencil line on the wall, at the intended height of the top of the mirror, and mark the location of the top corners.
• Draw a line 15mm below that line - this line is top of lightbox (The mirror sits 15mm clear of the lightbox on all 4 sides.)
• Mark the location of the lightbox top corners - 15mm in from the mirror corners
• Make sure the lightbox is the right way up and place it against the wall, and mark drilling points through the mounting
holes
• Place the lightbox aside and drill holes
If the wall is tiled, drill tiles with 8mm drill and insert wall plugs, or Ramset expanding wall anchors
If the wall plasterboard - install Ramset expanding wall anchors or similar.
• Screw lightbox to the wall.

STEP 2 -
Connecting the mirror lights to power
STEP 3 - Hanging the mirror on the lightbox
Connect lights to power:
• With the lightbox in place you are ready to connect the lights with cable joiners. Join the positive and negative
cables from the lights to the respective cables of the driver. You can now test the light switch.
Connect de-mister to power:
If the mirror has no de-mister go to Step 3 - “Hanging the mirror on the lightbox”.
• If the mirror is fitted with a de-mister -- first make sure the mirror glass is the right way up.
• Wear clean rubber gloves for better grip and to prevent any fingerprints on the frosted glass strips.
• Lift the mirror into place in front of the lightbox. Leave enough room between the lightbox and the mirror to allow you to
connect the cables Rest it on the vanity or other support - make sure you have some padding or folded towels to rest it on
so it doesn't come into contact with a hard surface. Have someone hold it steady in position.
• Using cable joiners supplied connect the 12v DC positive and negative wires from the demister to the corresponding wires
from the demisterʼs driver.
STEP 4 - Removing the protection
When the mirror is securely in place. Remove corner protectors and carefully peel the protective plastic coating from the
front of the mirror glass, starting at the top and slowly peel down.
• Make sure the cables are clear of the split battens so they wonʼt get caught up when the split battens engage. This can be
done by feeding the cables back into the wall cavity, or tape the cables off to the side of the lightbox.
•Carefully lift the mirror into position, centred directly in front of the lightbox,
• Position the bottom edge of the mirror about 5 to 10mm higher than the bottom of the lightbox and centred. This lines up
the split battens so they are ready to engage.
•Now apply light pressure to push the mirror against the lightbox.
•In this position the split battens inside the mirror will be ready to engage as the mirror slides down. First, check that the
mirror is flat against the lightbox and level and centred.
•
Slide the mirror down against the front of the lightbox. Don't let go of the mirror until you are certain it is flat against
the lightbox.
• This final movement engages the split battens. Check sides to make sure mirror is centred. If the mirror is not centred, lift mirror
slightly so it can slide left or right until centred.
•Press down firmly on the top of the mirror to so the split battens grip each other.
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, are
known to 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.
