Setup and Installation
The LINDBYN mirror is designed for wall mounting. Proper installation is crucial for safety and stability. Please ensure you have the necessary tools and follow these general guidelines. Specific mounting hardware may vary and is typically included or recommended by IKEA.
Choosing a Location:
- This mirror is tested and approved for use in bathrooms, making it resistant to typical bathroom humidity.
- Consider placing the mirror where it can reflect light or a desirable view to maximize its effect of adding depth to the room.
- Ensure the wall material is suitable for supporting the mirror's weight.
Mounting Steps:
- Prepare the Wall: Identify the exact spot for mounting. Use a level to ensure the mirror will hang straight. Mark the drilling points accurately.
- Drill Holes: Drill holes according to the marked points and the specifications of your mounting hardware.
- Insert Wall Plugs: If necessary, insert appropriate wall plugs into the drilled holes.
- Attach Mounting Hardware: Secure the mounting brackets or hooks to the wall using screws. Ensure they are firmly attached.
- Hang the Mirror: Carefully lift the mirror and align its hanging mechanism with the wall-mounted hardware. Gently lower the mirror until it is securely seated.
- Verify Stability: Lightly tug on the mirror to ensure it is stable and does not wobble.

Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your LINDBYN mirror, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Glass:
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a microfiber cloth.
- Spray a small amount of glass cleaner directly onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror surface, to prevent liquid from seeping behind the frame.
- Wipe the glass in a gentle, circular motion until clean and streak-free.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the mirror coating or frame.
- Cleaning the Frame:
- Wipe the black frame with a soft, damp cloth.
- Dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent water spots.
- Do not use strong detergents or abrasive materials on the frame.
- General Care:
- Avoid hanging the mirror in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations or direct, prolonged sunlight, which could affect the frame material over time.
- Regularly check the mounting hardware to ensure it remains secure.
