3. Setup and Installation

The Bobrick B-3091 Mirror is designed for secure wall-mounted installation. Proper installation ensures stability and safety. It is recommended that installation be performed by qualified personnel.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Wall: Identify a suitable location on the wall, ensuring it is structurally sound to support the mirror's weight (approximately 30 pounds). Mark the desired height and center point for the mirror.
2. Install Wall Hanger: The mirror features integral horizontal hanging brackets on its galvanized steel back. Secure the appropriate wall hanger (not included, but compatible with the mirror's design) to the wall using suitable fasteners for your wall type (e.g., studs, anchors). Ensure the hanger is level and securely fastened.
3. Mount the Mirror: Carefully lift the mirror and align its integral hanging brackets with the installed wall hanger. Lower the mirror onto the hanger, ensuring it seats properly and is level.
4. Secure with Locking Devices: Utilize the provided locking devices to secure the mirror to the concealed wall hanger. This prevents accidental dislodgement and enhances stability. Refer to the specific locking mechanism design for proper engagement.
5. Final Check: Gently test the mirror's stability on the wall. Ensure there is no wobbling or movement.

Note: The mirror is designed to be removable from the wall hanger for future reglazing or maintenance, if necessary.

4. Usage Guidelines

The Bobrick B-3091 Mirror is intended for general reflective purposes in environments such as bathrooms, home offices, or other suitable indoor spaces. Its robust construction makes it ideal for high-traffic areas.

Important Considerations:

• Placement: Ensure the mirror is placed in a location where it will not be subject to excessive impact or extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Safety: While durable, mirrors are fragile. Avoid striking the mirror surface with hard objects.
• Intended Use: This mirror is designed for indoor use only.

5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper care will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Bobrick B-3091 Mirror.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Glass Surface: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to prevent liquid from seeping behind the glass. Wipe gently until clean and streak-free.
• Stainless Steel Frame: Wipe the stainless steel frame with a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid streaks. Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
• Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based cleaners) on either the glass or the frame, as these can damage the finishes.

Long-Term Care:

• Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure the mirror remains securely fastened to the wall.
• The mirror's float glass is guaranteed for 15 years against silver spoilage under normal conditions.
• In the event of glass damage, the mirror is designed to be removable from its wall hanger for professional reglazing.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Bobrick B-3091 Mirror.

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Mirror Appears Loose: If the mirror feels unstable, re-check the locking devices and the wall hanger's fasteners. Ensure all components are securely tightened. If the wall hanger itself is loose, it may require re-installation with appropriate wall anchors.
• Streaks on Glass After Cleaning: This often occurs due to residue from the cleaner or using an unclean cloth. Re-clean the glass using a fresh, lint-free cloth and a minimal amount of glass cleaner, wiping thoroughly until dry.
• Frame Discoloration/Stains: For stainless steel, ensure you are cleaning with a product specifically designed for stainless steel and wiping with the grain. Stubborn stains may require a specialized stainless steel polish. Avoid abrasive materials.
• Silver Spoilage: The mirror glass is guaranteed for 15 years against silver spoilage. If this occurs within the warranty period, refer to the warranty section for contact information.
