1. Setup and Installation
This section provides instructions for assembling and mounting your Tangkula Bathroom Medicine Cabinet.
1.1 Unpacking and Component Check
Carefully unpack all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts listed in the included hardware manual are present and undamaged. Keep packaging materials until assembly is complete to prevent loss of small parts.
1.2 Assembly
Follow the step-by-step assembly instructions provided in the separate assembly manual included with your product. Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened securely, but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the engineered wood.
1.3 Wall Mounting
The cabinet is designed for wall mounting. Select a suitable location in your bathroom, laundry room, or entryway. Consider the cabinet's dimensions (22"W x 5"D x 23"H) and ensure there is adequate space. The total weight capacity is 44 pounds. Use the included wall-mounting kit for secure installation. It is recommended to mount the cabinet into wall studs for maximum stability. If mounting into drywall without studs, use appropriate drywall anchors (not always included, may need to be purchased separately based on wall type and weight requirements).

2. Operation
The Tangkula Bathroom Medicine Cabinet offers versatile storage and convenient features for daily use.
2.1 Storage Organization
The cabinet features a double-door enclosed section and an open shelf below. The enclosed cabinet provides discreet storage for toiletries, cosmetics, and medicines, keeping them out of sight. The open shelf is suitable for frequently used items or decorative elements.

2.2 Adjustable Shelf
Inside the double-door cabinet, there is an adjustable shelf. This shelf can be moved to 3 different height levels, with 6.4 cm (2.5 inches) spacing between each level. This allows you to customize the storage space to accommodate items of varying heights. The shelf can also be completely removed for storing taller bottles or bulkier items.

2.3 Mirrored Doors and Magnetic Catches
The cabinet features mirrored doors that provide a clear reflection for daily grooming tasks. Each door is equipped with a round metal knob for easy opening and closing. Magnetic catches are installed inside the cabinet to ensure the doors remain securely closed when not in use.

3. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Tangkula Bathroom Medicine Cabinet.
3.1 Cleaning
To clean the cabinet surfaces, including the engineered wood and aluminum mirrors, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed immediately by drying with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish and materials.
3.2 Mirror Care
For cleaning the mirrored surfaces, use a standard glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to prevent liquid from seeping into the edges and damaging the mirror backing.
3.3 Hardware Inspection
Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten. Inspect hinges and magnetic catches for proper function and alignment.
4. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your cabinet.
4.1 Cabinet Feels Unstable After Mounting
If the cabinet feels wobbly or unstable, ensure it is securely mounted into wall studs. If studs are not accessible, verify that appropriate drywall anchors were used and installed correctly. The mounting hardware provided is designed for standard installation; however, wall types vary. Consider consulting a professional or using heavy-duty anchors if you have concerns about stability, especially when the cabinet is loaded.
4.2 Doors Do Not Close Properly
Check the alignment of the magnetic catches on the cabinet frame and the metal plates on the doors. Adjust if necessary. Ensure hinges are properly tightened and not bent. If the cabinet itself is not level, this can affect door closure; verify the cabinet is level using a spirit level.
4.3 Shelf Does Not Stay in Place
Ensure the shelf pins are fully inserted into the desired holes on both sides of the cabinet. The shelf should rest evenly on all four pins. If pins are missing or damaged, contact customer support for replacements.
4.4 Visible Scratches or Marks on Backing Piece
During assembly, handle all pieces carefully. If a backing piece arrives with minor cosmetic imperfections, it typically does not affect the structural integrity or front-facing appearance of the cabinet once assembled and mounted. If the damage is significant or affects functionality, contact customer support.
