Operation
Opening and Closing the Door:

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning the Mirror: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a standard glass cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to avoid liquid seeping into the frame edges.
- Cleaning the Frame and Cabinet: Wipe the matte black metal frame and interior cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Cleaning Glass Shelves: The tempered glass shelves can be cleaned with glass cleaner or mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting them.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure the cabinet remains securely attached to the wall. Tighten screws if necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet feels loose or wobbly after installation. | Mounting screws are not fully tightened or not properly secured into studs/anchors. | Ensure all mounting screws are tightened. If installed into drywall, verify anchors are correctly expanded. If the issue persists, consult a professional for re-installation. |
| Door does not close completely or magnets do not engage. | Cabinet is not perfectly level or hinges are misaligned. | Check if the cabinet is level. Minor adjustments to the cabinet's position during installation may be needed. Ensure no debris is obstructing the magnetic catch. |
| Glass shelves are difficult to install or adjust. | L-shaped clips are not fully inserted or aligned. | Ensure the L-shaped clips are fully and correctly inserted into the shelf slots. Gently guide the glass shelf onto the clips, ensuring it sits evenly. |
