3. Hang the Frame: Carefully align the sawtooth hangers with the installed screws or hooks on the wall. Ensure the frame is securely seated before releasing it.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the engineered wood frame with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning the Plexiglass: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for acrylic or plastic. Do not use glass cleaners containing ammonia, as they can damage the plexiglass. Gently wipe to avoid scratching.
• Storage: If storing the frame, ensure it is placed in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. It is recommended to keep the protective film on the plexiglass if storing for extended periods without content.
