Maintenance
To clean your Amerelle Mirror Acrylic Wallplate, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or rough sponges, as these can scratch the acrylic surface and damage the mirror finish.
Troubleshooting
Wallplate Does Not Sit Flush:
- Ensure the electrical box is properly recessed into the wall.
- Check that the toggle switches are correctly aligned and seated within the electrical box.
- Verify that the mounting screws are tightened evenly, but not overtightened.
