- Connect wires: Connect the cabinet's electrical wires to your household wiring. Match the colors:
- Neutral (usually white or blue) to Neutral
- Live (usually black or brown) to Live
- Ground (usually green or bare copper) to Ground
- Secure connections: Use appropriate wire connectors (not included) and ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Tuck wires: Carefully tuck all wires into the junction box or wall cavity.
- Restore power: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power at the circuit breaker.

7. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your medicine cabinet.

- Cabinet Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Dry thoroughly.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, or solvents, as these can damage the finish and mirror coating.
- Electrical Components: Ensure the cabinet is disconnected from power before cleaning any electrical components. Do not spray water directly onto electrical parts.
