INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES CAREFUL PLANNING – PLEASE READ
THROUGH THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION:
This mirror requires two people for installation.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that the wall where the mirror will be installed is level, flat and cleared of any debris. Use
a straight edge to check the wall and remove any obstructions. Any variance in the wall level or
unevenness could damage the mirror frame during installation and result in issues when assembling
at a later stage.
This mirror requires that an electronics box is recessed behind the mirror as indicated by the included
template. If fitting onto an existing tiled wall an area of tiles will need to be removed to allow the box
to be recessed
This mirror can be installed directly onto a plain wall or recessed by tiling up to the frame.
NOTE: if tiling around the mirror frame the frame must protrude above the surface tile by at least
2mm (the total frame depth is 11mm). If the tiles are too thick to allow for this clearance spacers may
be used on the fixings between the wall and the mirror frame to ensure correct clearance.
It is recommended that the mirror is installed before tiling to ensure an accurate fit. If tiling before
fitting the mirror it is advised to pay careful attention to the dimensions specified on the template and
to complete this work as accurately as possible. Failure to do so may result in issues fitting the mirror
in the tile cavity. NOTE. If recessing the mirror into tiling it is advisable to tile as close to the frame as
possible to achieve a neat edge.

Cut out the recess for the box to a
depth of 40mm. It is important that the
recess is cut as close to the template
line as possible. If cutting into a solid
wall a channel for mains power supply
will also need to be cut.
INSTALLATION STEPS

NOTE.
If the wall surface has been tiled up to the mirror
perimeter, check the front of the frame clears the
tiles by at least 2mm. If the clearance is less than
2mm, you will need to use spacers between the
wall and the mirror frame to space the frame away
from the wall.
Fix template to the wall in the intended
position with masking tape. Mark
out the area to be removed for the
electrical box.
The bottom edge of the template
represents the final position of the
mirror frame. Use the centre line on the
template to position the centre point of
the mirror final position.
Offer the mirror frame up to the wall
noting the orientation labels. Using a
pencil mark off the four fixing points.

Use hand tools and suitable wall fixings
to secure the mirror frame in place. It is
very important that the xing screws
are not over tightened.
NOTE: IT IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT TO ORIENT THE
FRAME CORRECTLY ACCORDING
TO THE LABELS ON THE FRAME. IF
THE FRAME IS NOT ORIENTATED
CORRECTLY THE MIRROR GLASS
WILL NOT SECURE TO THE FRAME.
Remove the cover of the electronics
enclosure and feed the mains power
cable through the grommet in to the
interior
Route the earth cable from the mirror
frame through the electronics enclosure
grommet and connect.
Connect the mains power cable.

Offer the electrical box up to the
recess and secure to the wall with
suitable fixings through the connection
points ensuring it is completely flush to
the wall surface.
Removing the mirror frame for this
step may aid installation.

Once connected the excess cabling should be
secured to the electronics enclosure using the clips
on the electronics enclosure cover provided.
Offer the mirror glass assembly up to the frame
Check that the mirror glass is secure and centred on the mirror frame. Look around the edge of the
frame for any gaps to indicate it has not been mounted correctly. Interference from loose cables may
cause problems. If necessary remove the glass in the opposite direction and re-attach correctly as
instructed in step 6.
Reconnect mains power and test IR sensor function by waving hand in front of sensor for LED on/off
function.

ensuring it is orientated according to the labels.
Any loose cables need to be located / fed into the
recess in the electrical box.
Position the glass in the correct orientation and
engage the frame pins into the keyhole slots on the
mirror glass assembly.
Ensure all 4 pins are engaged and the mirror glass
is flush to the front of the mirror frame. Slide the
glass (a) down and left for portrait orientation or
(b) down and right for landscape orientation. The
mirror glass will lock into place when it is centred
on the frame.
Connect the LED and Demister pad cables
connectors.
Screw the IR sensor head into the mirror body.
