Setup and Installation
The Bobrick B-1556 1824 mirror is designed for wall-mounted installation. Follow these steps carefully:
- Select Location: Choose a suitable wall location, ensuring it is clean, dry, and free from obstructions. The wall must be capable of supporting the mirror's weight.
- Mark Mounting Points: Hold the mirror against the wall at the desired height and position. Mark the locations for the four mounting screws. Ensure the marks are level.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., wood stud, drywall with anchors, masonry), drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
- Secure Mirror: Align the mirror's mounting holes with the pilot holes. Insert the provided mounting screws through the finishing washers and into the wall. Tighten the screws securely, but do not overtighten, to avoid damaging the mirror or wall.
- Verify Stability: Gently test the mirror's stability to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall.
Operation
The Bobrick B-1556 1824 is a static wall-mounted mirror. No operational steps are required beyond proper installation and placement for its intended use.
Maintenance and Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your stainless steel mirror, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Mirror Surface: Clean the mirror surface with 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 behind the glass.
- Stainless Steel Frame: Wipe the stainless steel frame with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For stubborn marks, use a stainless steel cleaner according to the product's instructions. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based cleaners) as these can damage the finish.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight.
Troubleshooting
- Mirror appears loose: Check and tighten the mounting screws. Ensure the wall anchors (if used) are properly installed and secure.
- Streaks on mirror surface: Ensure you are using a clean, lint-free cloth and a streak-free glass cleaner. Avoid over-applying cleaner.
- Discoloration on stainless steel: This may be due to residue from cleaning products or environmental factors. Try cleaning with a specialized stainless steel cleaner.
