Setup and Installation

The Lorell Dry-Erase Board is designed for wall mounting. Follow these steps for secure installation.

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Drill
• Drill bits appropriate for wall anchors
• Level
• Measuring Tape
• Pencil
• Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
• Stud Finder (recommended for drywall installation)

Installation Steps:

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location, ensuring it is clear of electrical wires or plumbing. Consider the height for comfortable writing and viewing.
2. Measure and Mark: Hold the board against the wall at the desired height and use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the positions for the mounting holes on the wall using a pencil. The board has pre-drilled holes on the aluminum frame for mounting.

3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using the appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., smaller bit for wood studs, larger for drywall anchors), drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
4. Insert Anchors (if needed): If drilling into drywall without studs, insert the provided wall anchors into the pilot holes until flush with the wall surface.
5. Mount the Board: Align the pre-drilled holes on the board's frame with the drilled holes/anchors on the wall. Insert the screws through the board's frame and into the wall/anchors. Tighten the screws securely, but do not overtighten, to avoid damaging the frame or wall.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your dry-erase board.

• Daily Cleaning: Use a standard dry-erase eraser to remove all markings after each use.
• Deep Cleaning: For ghosting or stubborn marks, use a specialized dry-erase board cleaner or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Apply the cleaner to a soft cloth, wipe the board, and then dry thoroughly with another clean, dry cloth.

• Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or sharp objects on the board surface. Do not use glass cleaner, as it can leave a residue that makes future erasing difficult.
• Frame Care: Wipe the aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or smudges.
