Installation (Setup)
This section outlines the steps for installing your Robern Arch Mirrored Door cabinet. It is recommended that two people perform the installation.
Tools Required:
- Tape Measure
- Level
- Pencil
- Drill with appropriate bits
- Screwdriver (Phillips and Flathead)
- Stud Finder
- Wire Strippers/Cutters (for electrical connection)
Pre-Installation Steps:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and inspect for damage.
- Power Off: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the bathroom power and turn it OFF. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
- Location: Determine the desired mounting location. Ensure there are wall studs or adequate blocking for secure attachment. The cabinet dimensions are 23-1/4"W x 43-3/8"H.
Mounting the Cabinet:
- Marking: Hold the cabinet in the desired position and use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the mounting hole locations on the wall with a pencil.
- Drilling: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If mounting into studs, use appropriate wood screws. If mounting into blocking, ensure screws are long enough to penetrate securely.
- Secure Cabinet: With assistance, lift the cabinet and align the mounting holes with the pilot holes. Secure the cabinet to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Do not overtighten.
Electrical Connection (for Electric Outlet Shelf and Door Defogger):
This step must be performed by a qualified electrician.
- Access Wiring: Route the electrical supply wires from the wall opening to the cabinet's electrical junction box.
- Connect Wires: Connect the cabinet's electrical wires to the household wiring (Black to Black, White to White, Green/Bare to Ground) using appropriate wire connectors.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated. Close the junction box cover.
Door Hinge Adjustment (Right Hand Hinge):
The MP24D4ARE model features a right-hand hinge. If adjustment is needed for proper door alignment:
- Horizontal Adjustment: Use the screw closest to the cabinet frame on each hinge to move the door left or right.
- Vertical Adjustment: Use the mounting screws on the hinge plate to adjust the door up or down. Loosen slightly, adjust, then retighten.
- Depth Adjustment: Use the screw furthest from the cabinet frame to adjust the door's depth relative to the cabinet.
Operation
Once installed and power is restored, your Robern Arch Mirrored Door cabinet is ready for use.
Door Operation:
- Gently open and close the mirrored door. The right-hand hinge allows the door to swing open from the left side.
- Avoid slamming the door to prevent damage to hinges and mirror.
Electric Outlet Shelf:
- The integrated electric outlet shelf provides convenient power for small appliances such as electric toothbrushes, shavers, or hair dryers.
- Ensure appliances are rated for the outlet's voltage and current capacity. Do not overload the outlet.
- Always unplug appliances when not in use.
Door Defogger:
- The door defogger activates automatically or via a dedicated switch (depending on installation wiring) to prevent condensation on the mirror surface.
- Allow a few minutes for the defogger to reach optimal operating temperature.
- The defogger is designed for intermittent use. Turn off when not needed to conserve energy.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Robern cabinet.
Cleaning the Mirror and Cabinet:
- Mirror: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Spray cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to prevent liquid from seeping into edges.
- Cabinet Surfaces: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or solvents.
- Electrical Outlets: Ensure power is off before cleaning around electrical outlets. Use a dry cloth.
Hinge Maintenance:
- Periodically check hinge screws for tightness. Tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- If hinges become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points.
Shelf Adjustment:
- To adjust shelf height, carefully remove items from the shelf. Lift the shelf slightly, slide it out of its supports, and reposition the supports to the desired height. Reinsert the shelf.
- Ensure shelves are securely seated before placing items on them.
