2. Important Safety Information

Adherence to safety guidelines is crucial during installation and use of this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and use.
• Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources.
• Do not overload the adjustable shelves; distribute weight evenly.
• Exercise caution with the slow-close doors to prevent pinching.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses and gloves when installing the cabinet.
• For recessed installation, ensure no electrical wires, water supply piping, or vent piping are present in the wall cavity. Consult a professional if modifications are required.

3. Setup and Installation

The Verdera medicine cabinet can be installed as either a recessed or surface-mount unit. The installation process requires careful attention to detail and may necessitate professional assistance, especially for recessed mounting.

3.1 Pre-Installation Considerations

• Recessed Installation: A wall opening of 38-1/2 inches (978 mm) width x 28-1/4 inches (718 mm) height x 3-1/16 inches (78 mm) depth is required. For proper mounting, the wall cavity must be framed and cabinet secured to framing studs.
• Surface-Mount Installation: Requires K-99012 or K-99675 side mirror kit (sold separately). Use appropriate anchors for the loaded weight of the product.
• Ensure a minimum distance of 3 inches (76 mm) between the bottom of the cabinet and the top of any faucet to allow for door clearance.

3.2 Installation Steps (General)

1. Prepare the Wall: For recessed installation, create the specified wall opening. For surface mount, identify stud locations or prepare for appropriate anchors.
2. Mount the Cabinet: Securely attach the cabinet housing to the wall framing or using appropriate mounting hardware.
3. Install Shelves: Position the nine adjustable tempered-glass shelves within the cabinet. Note: Some users report that doors may need to be removed to install shelves.
4. Adjust Doors: Ensure doors operate smoothly and align correctly. The two-way adjustable hinges allow for precise alignment.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Verdera medicine cabinet.

• Cleaning Mirrors: Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid cleaners containing ammonia or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the mirror's silvering or aluminum finish over time. Wipe dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Cleaning Aluminum Frame: Wipe the anodized aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals.
• Glass Shelves: Clean glass shelves with a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Ensure they are fully dry before placing items back on them.
• Hinge Maintenance: Periodically check hinges for smooth operation. Do not apply lubricants unless specifically recommended by KOHLER.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues that may arise with your medicine cabinet.

• Doors Not Closing Properly: Check hinges for alignment. The two-way adjustable hinges allow for minor adjustments. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the door from closing fully.
• Shelves Sagging or Uneven: Verify that the shelf support clips are securely seated at the same height on both sides and that the shelf is not overloaded.
• Mirror Spots/Discoloration: Ensure only recommended cleaning agents are used. Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners can damage the mirror finish. If discoloration persists, contact customer support.
