2. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly set up and install your picture frame:

1. Unpack the Frame: Carefully remove the frame from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Prepare the Acrylic Front: The frame comes with a frame-grade UV acrylic shatter guard front. This acrylic sheet has a protective film on both sides to prevent scratches during shipping.

   Gently peel off the protective film from both the front and back surfaces of the acrylic. Failure to remove both films will result in a cloudy or blurry appearance.

3. Insert Your Artwork/Photo:
   • Carefully bend back the metal clips on the back of the frame to release the acid-free foam board backing.
   • Remove the foam board and the acrylic sheet.
   • Place your 40x28 inch artwork or photo inside the frame, ensuring it is centered and flat.
   • Reinsert the acrylic sheet (after removing both protective films) on top of your artwork.
   • Place the acid-free foam board backing on top of the acrylic.
   • Bend the metal clips back into place to secure the contents.

4. Hang the Frame: The frame includes hanging hardware.
   • Determine the desired location on your wall.
   • Install appropriate wall anchors and screws (not included, but recommended based on wall material) at the desired height and spacing for the frame's hanging points.
   • Carefully hang the frame, ensuring it is level and securely seated on the installed hardware.

3. Operation

This picture frame is designed for straightforward use. Once your artwork or photo is securely placed inside and the frame is hung, no further operation is required. To change the displayed item, simply follow the steps outlined in Section 2.3 "Insert Your Artwork/Photo" in reverse to remove the current item and insert a new one.

4. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your CountryArtHouse picture frame, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the solid wood frame with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Cleaning the Acrylic: The UV acrylic shatter guard front should be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild acrylic cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water. Do not use glass cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol, as these can cause damage or clouding to the acrylic. Gently wipe to avoid scratching.
• Placement: Avoid placing the frame in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause fading to your artwork and potential warping of the wood over time. Keep away from areas of high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations.
