Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove the shadow box from its packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit. Remove any protective films from the glass surface.
2. Inserting Items
The Livoccur Shadow Box offers two methods for inserting items:
Method A: Top Loading Slot
For smaller, loose items such as wine corks, ticket stubs, or small tokens, use the top loading slot. Simply drop items into the opening at the top of the frame.

Method B: Rear Access
For larger items, photos, or arrangements that require secure placement on the linen backing, open the back panel of the shadow box. The back panel is secured by a vintage lock on the side. Unlatch the lock and gently open the back panel using the full open metal hinge. Arrange your items on the linen backing, using the provided fixing nails (pushpins) if needed. Once items are arranged, close the back panel and secure the vintage lock.

3. Mounting Options
The shadow box can be displayed in two ways:
Tabletop Display
Place the shadow box on any flat, stable surface such as a table, shelf, or mantelpiece. Ensure it is positioned where it will not be easily knocked over.

Wall Mounting
The back of the shadow box is equipped with 4 hooks, allowing for both horizontal and vertical wall display. Use the provided screws and plastic anchors for secure installation. Mark the desired positions on the wall, drill pilot holes, insert anchors, and then screw in the screws, leaving a small portion exposed to hang the hooks.

Operating
Once your items are placed inside and the shadow box is positioned, no further operation is typically required. To change or add items, follow the 'Inserting Items' instructions in the Setup section.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Glass
Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a standard glass cleaner to wipe the glass surface. Spray cleaner onto the cloth first, then wipe the glass to avoid excess liquid seeping into the frame.
Cleaning the Frame
Wipe the wooden frame with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the distressed finish.
Linen Backing Care
The linen backing can be gently dusted with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Avoid getting it wet.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Items do not fit through the top slot. | Item is too large for the slot opening. | Use the rear access method to place larger items. |
| Shadow box is unstable on a surface. | Surface is uneven or not sturdy. | Relocate the shadow box to a flat, stable surface. |
| Difficulty closing the back panel. | Items inside are too bulky or misaligned. | Adjust the arrangement of items to ensure they do not obstruct the back panel. |
| Glass appears dirty or streaky after cleaning. | Improper cleaning technique or cloth. | Use a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth and a streak-free glass cleaner. Wipe in one direction. |
