Setup and Installation
The Fresca Tiempo medicine cabinet offers both surface and recessed mounting options. Due to the weight (110 lbs) and electrical connections, professional installation is highly recommended.
Pre-Installation Steps:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the cabinet for any damage.
- Tools Required: Gather necessary tools including a drill, level, measuring tape, screwdriver, wire strippers, and safety glasses.
- Power Disconnection: Turn off the main power supply to the installation area at the circuit breaker.
- Location Selection: Choose a suitable location on the wall, ensuring there are no hidden electrical wires or plumbing pipes. The wall must be capable of supporting the cabinet's weight.
Mounting Options:
This cabinet supports both surface mount (mounted directly to the wall) and recessed mount (fitted into a wall opening) installations. Refer to the specific diagrams provided with your mounting hardware for detailed steps for each method.
Electrical Connection:
The cabinet requires a direct electrical connection for the LED lights, anti-fog function, and internal outlets. Connect the cabinet's wiring to your household electrical supply according to local codes. Ensure proper grounding.

Operating Instructions
LED Lighting:
The cabinet features dimmable LED lights. Locate the touch switch on the mirror surface. A single touch will turn the lights on or off. Press and hold the touch switch to adjust the brightness level.
Anti-Fog Function:
To activate the anti-fog feature, locate the dedicated touch switch on the mirror surface. Touch it once to turn the defogger on or off. The defogger will clear condensation from the mirror surface, ensuring clarity even in steamy conditions.
Internal Electrical Outlets:
The cabinet includes internal electrical outlets for convenient charging of shavers, electric toothbrushes, and other small electronic devices. Ensure the cabinet is properly wired to a live circuit for these outlets to function.

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 cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to prevent liquid from seeping into the edges.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the anodized aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Electrical Components: Ensure the power is off before cleaning near any electrical components. Do not spray water directly onto outlets or wiring.
- Hinges: The Blum hinges are designed for durability. If needed, wipe them clean with a dry cloth. Avoid lubricating them unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
