Setup and Installation

This mirror is designed for wall-mounted installation. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location, ensuring it is free from electrical wires, plumbing, or other obstructions. Consider the mirror's dimensions (39.25"L x 0.75"W) and desired height.
2. Identify Mounting Points: Use a stud finder to locate wall studs. The mirror must be mounted to at least one stud for secure installation. If studs are not available at desired points, consider using appropriate wall anchors for your wall type (e.g., toggle bolts for drywall, masonry anchors for brick/concrete).
3. Mark Drill Holes: Hold the mirror against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the locations for the mounting hardware. Ensure the marks are level.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The drill bit size will depend on the type of mounting hardware being used (refer to hardware kit instructions).
5. Install Mounting Hardware: Insert the appropriate wall anchors (if used) and then screw in the mounting brackets or screws provided in the hardware kit. Ensure they are firmly secured.
6. Hang Mirror: With assistance, carefully lift the mirror and align its hanging mechanism with the installed wall brackets/screws. Gently lower the mirror into place, ensuring it is seated securely and level.
7. Final Check: Lightly tug on the mirror to confirm it is stable and does not wobble.

Usage and Placement

The Robern Profiles Mirror is designed for indoor use as a decorative and functional wall-mounted mirror. While primarily intended for portrait orientation, multiple units can be ganged together or connected to a Profiles medicine cabinet for extended visual impact.

• Environment: Avoid placing the mirror in areas of extreme humidity or direct, prolonged sunlight, which can affect the mirror's longevity and finish.
• Stability: Once installed, avoid applying excessive force or hanging heavy objects from the mirror frame.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance of your Robern mirror:

• Mirror 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.
• Frame: For the Polished Nickel frame, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing compounds, as these can damage the finish. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
• Avoid: Do not use ammonia-based cleaners, acidic cleaners, or scouring pads on any part of the mirror.

Troubleshooting

Refer to the following common issues and solutions:

• Mirror appears crooked after installation:
  • Ensure mounting points were marked and drilled level.
  • Adjust the hanging mechanism if possible, or re-level the mounting hardware.
• Mirror feels unstable or wobbly:
  • Verify that the mounting hardware is securely fastened to wall studs or appropriate anchors.
  • Ensure the mirror is fully seated on its mounting points.
  • If unsure, remove the mirror and re-install, or consult a professional.
• Streaks or smudges on mirror surface:
  • Use a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth.
  • Apply glass cleaner to the cloth, not directly to the mirror.
  • Ensure the cleaner is non-abrasive and ammonia-free.
