3. Installation Guide
The Dripex LED Vanity Bathroom Mirror can be installed either horizontally or vertically. Please follow these steps carefully.
3.1. Before You Begin:
- Inspect the mirror for any damage before installation.
- Gather necessary tools: drill, measuring tape, level, pencil, screwdriver.
- Ensure the wall is suitable for mounting and can support the mirror's weight (approximately 19.26 lbs).
- Turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker if hardwiring.
3.2. Mounting Options:

3.3. Installation Steps:
- Measure and Mark: Determine the desired mounting height and position. Use a level to mark the drilling points for the mounting screws. For horizontal mounting, the screw holes are approximately 45 inches apart.
- Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked points. Insert the wall anchors (if not drilling into studs).
- Install Screws: Insert the mounting screws into the anchors/studs, leaving a small portion protruding to hang the mirror.
- Connect Power:
- Plug-in: Simply plug the mirror's power cord into a suitable wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is behind the mirror or in an inconspicuous location.
- Hardwire: If hardwiring, cut the plug from the power cord. Connect the mirror's wires to your home's electrical wiring (live, neutral, ground) using appropriate wire connectors. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

- Hang Mirror: Carefully lift the mirror and align the mounting slots on the back with the screws on the wall. Gently lower the mirror until it is securely seated.
- Restore Power: Turn on the main power supply at the circuit breaker.

4. Operating Instructions
The mirror features a single touch button for easy operation of its primary functions.
4.1. Touch Button Functions:
- Power On/Off & Anti-Fog: A short press of the touch button will turn the LED light and the anti-fog function on or off simultaneously. The button indicator light will change color (e.g., blue when off, white when on) to show status.
- Brightness Adjustment: When the light is on, press and hold the touch button to adjust the brightness. The light will cycle through its dimming range. Release the button when the desired brightness is reached.

4.2. Anti-Fog Function:
The anti-fog function activates automatically when the mirror is turned on. It uses a heating element to gently warm the mirror surface, preventing condensation and ensuring a clear view. Heat is released from the center outwards to effectively remove water vapor.

5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Dripex LED Vanity Bathroom Mirror.
- Cleaning the 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 avoid liquid seeping into the electrical components.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: While the mirror is IP44 rated, avoid direct and prolonged exposure to excessive water spray.
- Power Off for Cleaning: Always turn off the mirror and disconnect power before cleaning.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your mirror, please refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror light does not turn on. | No power supply; loose connection; faulty touch button. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged in or if the hardwire connection is secure. Ensure the wall switch (if used) is on. Check the circuit breaker. Try pressing the touch button firmly. |
| Anti-fog function is not working. | Anti-fog function not activated; power issue. | Ensure the mirror is powered on via the touch button, as the anti-fog function activates simultaneously with the light. Verify power supply. |
| Light is too dim or too bright. | Brightness setting needs adjustment. | Press and hold the touch button to cycle through brightness levels until the desired intensity is reached. |
| Mirror surface is scratched or damaged. | Improper cleaning; physical impact. | Use only soft cloths and non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid sharp objects. If damage is significant, contact customer support. |
