2. Important Safety Information

Please read all safety instructions carefully before installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product or property.

• Weight Limit: When installing and loading the shelves, ensure they are mounted firmly on the wall and do not exceed a weight limit of 40 lbs (18 kg) per shelf to prevent potential hazards.
• Proper Installation: Always use appropriate tools and hardware for your specific wall type (e.g., drywall, wood studs, concrete). If unsure, consult a professional.
• Secure Mounting: Verify that all screws and anchors are securely fastened before placing items on the shelves.
• Even Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the shelf surface. Avoid placing heavy items solely on one end.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the shelves and mounting hardware for any signs of loosening, wear, or damage. Tighten fasteners as needed.

5. Setup and Installation

The YGEOMER Floating Shelves are designed for straightforward wall mounting. Ensure you have the necessary tools before starting.

5.1 Tools Required (Not Included)

• Pencil
• Measuring Tape
• Level
• Drill with appropriate drill bit (e.g., 6mm for plastic anchors)
• Hammer (for tapping anchors)
• Phillips Head Screwdriver

5.2 Installation Steps

1. Determine Placement: Choose the desired location for your shelves. Use a pencil and level to mark the exact positions for the mounting holes for the first bracket. Consider the spacing between shelves if installing multiple.
2. Mark Drill Points: Hold a metal bracket against the wall at your marked position. Use a pencil to mark the two screw holes through the bracket. Repeat for all brackets. Ensure the brackets are oriented correctly with the longer arm pointing upwards for support.
3. Drill Holes: Using a drill with an appropriate drill bit (typically 6mm for the provided plastic anchors), carefully drill holes at each marked point. The depth should be sufficient for the plastic anchors.
4. Insert Anchors: Gently tap the plastic anchors into the drilled holes with a hammer until they are flush with the wall surface. These anchors provide stability for drywall installations. If mounting into wood studs, anchors may not be necessary, but ensure screws are long enough to penetrate securely.
5. Attach Brackets: Align each metal bracket with the inserted anchors. Use the long screws to fasten the brackets securely to the wall. Ensure they are tight and stable.
6. Position Wood Boards: Place a paulownia wood board onto the attached metal brackets. The boards do not have pre-drilled holes, allowing for flexible positioning.
7. Secure Boards: From underneath the shelf, use the short screws to attach the wood board to the metal brackets. Drive the screws through the pre-drilled holes in the brackets into the underside of the wood board. Ensure the board is firmly attached to prevent movement.
8. Repeat for Remaining Shelves: Follow steps 1-7 for each additional shelf you wish to install.

7. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your YGEOMER Floating Shelves.

• Spills: In case of spills, wipe immediately with a dry cloth to prevent staining or water damage to the wood.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid placing shelves in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations or high humidity, which can affect wood integrity.
• Periodic Checks: Regularly inspect the mounting hardware to ensure all screws remain tight and the shelves are securely attached to the wall. Tighten any loose screws as necessary.
