5. Setup and Installation
The ExBrite Lighted Medicine Cabinet supports both recessed and surface mounting options. Choose the method that best suits your bathroom design and wall structure. Ensure the wall can support the cabinet's weight (51.9 lbs) plus contents.
5.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Turn off power at the main circuit breaker.
- Consult a qualified electrician for wiring.
- Ensure the wall area is clear of pipes, wires, and studs for recessed installation.
- Gather necessary tools: measuring tape, level, drill, screwdriver, wire strippers, safety glasses.
5.2 Mounting Options
Surface Mounting
This method involves mounting the cabinet directly onto the wall surface. It is generally simpler and does not require cutting into the wall. Ensure the mounting hardware is securely fastened to wall studs or appropriate anchors are used for drywall.
Recessed Mounting
For a flush, integrated look, the cabinet can be recessed into the wall. This requires creating an opening in the wall that matches the cabinet's dimensions. When recessed, the cabinet is designed to protrude approximately 1 inch from the wall for easy opening and closing of the doors. This method minimizes spatial occupation.
5.3 General Installation Steps (Consult a professional if unsure)
- Measure and Mark: Carefully measure the desired location and mark the mounting points on the wall according to the cabinet's dimensions and mounting bracket positions.
- Prepare Wiring: Route electrical wiring to the installation location. Ensure the wiring is properly secured and ready for connection.
- Mount Brackets/Cabinet: Secure the mounting brackets or the cabinet directly to the wall using appropriate screws and anchors. For recessed installation, ensure the wall opening is precise.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the cabinet's electrical wires to the household wiring. Follow all local electrical codes.
- Secure Cabinet: Firmly attach the cabinet to the wall or mounting brackets.
- Install Shelves: Insert the adjustable tempered glass shelves into the desired positions. The shelves are 5mm thick and can bear up to 11 pounds each.
- Test Functionality: Restore power and test all functions of the cabinet (lights, defogger, outlets, USB).
The cabinet features upgraded 120° soft-close hinges for smooth and quiet operation, designed to support the mirror's weight effectively.
6. Operation
Your ExBrite medicine cabinet is equipped with intuitive touch controls for various functions.
6.1 Lighting Control
- Power On/Off: Tap the light icon on the mirror surface to turn the LED lights on or off.
- Color Temperature Adjustment: With the lights on, short press the light icon to cycle through three color temperatures: 3000K (Warm), 4000K (Natural), and 6400K (White).
- Stepless Dimming: With the lights on, long press the light icon to adjust the brightness from 10% to 100%. Release when the desired brightness is achieved.
- Memory Function: The cabinet remembers your last brightness setting for convenience.
- Interior LED Lighting: The internal 6000K LED lighting automatically turns on when the cabinet doors are opened, providing sufficient light to locate items.
6.2 Anti-Fog Function
- Activate Defogger: Tap the defog icon on the mirror surface to activate the anti-fog function. The mirror surface will quickly heat to approximately 40°C to clear condensation.
- Automatic Shut-off: The defogger automatically turns off when the main light is switched off.
6.3 Clock and Room Temperature Display
The mirror surface features a digital display showing the current time and the room temperature (in Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on settings). Refer to the product's specific instructions for setting the time and temperature unit, if applicable.
6.4 Internal Outlets and USB Ports
The cabinet includes a built-in 2 Amp dual outlet and two USB ports, conveniently located inside. These are ideal for charging small electronic devices such as electric shavers, toothbrushes, or smartphones. Do not use these ports for high-power appliances like hair dryers, as this may cause damage or pose a safety risk.
7. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your medicine cabinet.
- Cleaning the Mirror: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to prevent liquid from seeping into the edges.
- Cleaning the Cabinet: Wipe the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
- Electrical Components: Ensure the power is off before cleaning near any electrical components, outlets, or USB ports. Keep these areas dry.
- Hinges: The 120° soft-close hinges are designed for durability. No special lubrication is typically required.
- Shelves: The tempered glass shelves can be removed for cleaning. Wash with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before reinserting.
