4. Installation
4.1 Choosing Installation Orientation
The mirror can be installed horizontally or vertically to suit your space and preference.

4.2 Mounting the Mirror
For mirrors over 40 inches, it is recommended that two or more people assist with installation due to weight. This 36x36 inch mirror can typically be installed by one person, but assistance is always safer.
- Determine the desired mounting location and orientation.
- Mark the positions for the mounting bracket(s) on the wall. Ensure marks are level.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Insert wall anchors if necessary.
- Secure the mounting bracket(s) to the wall using the provided screws.
- Carefully lift the mirror and hang it onto the secured bracket(s). Ensure it is stable and securely seated.

4.3 Electrical Connection
The mirror offers two connection methods: plug-in or hardwire.
- Plug-in: Simply plug the mirror's power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
- Hardwire: For a seamless look, the mirror can be hardwired directly into a wall switch. This requires cutting the plug and connecting the wires to your home's electrical system. This procedure should only be performed by a qualified electrician. When hardwired to a wall switch, the mirror will turn on with the switch and automatically default to its last light setting.
