Installation (Setup)

The WELLFOR medicine cabinet offers versatile installation options: surface-mount or recessed-mount, and reversible door opening (left or right).

1. Choose Mounting Method: Surface or Recessed

Decide whether to mount the cabinet directly onto the wall surface or recess it into a wall opening.

Figure 4: Mounting Options. This image illustrates the difference between surface-mounting (01) and recessed-mounting (02).

• Surface-Mount: The cabinet is mounted directly to the wall. Ensure the wall can support the weight.
• Recessed-Mount: A wall opening is required. The cabinet body fits into the wall, with only the mirror frame protruding. Consult a professional if unsure about cutting into walls.

2. Determine Door Opening Direction

The cabinet door can be configured to open from the left or the right, depending on your preference and bathroom layout.

Figure 5: Left/Right Door Opening. This image demonstrates the cabinet door configured for left-hand opening and right-hand opening.

• The hinges can be installed on either side of the cabinet frame to achieve the desired opening direction.
• Refer to the detailed diagrams included with your hardware for specific hinge placement.

3. General Installation Steps (Summary)

1. Prepare the Area: Turn off power if working near electrical outlets. Clear the installation area.
2. Mark Mounting Points: Use a level and pencil to mark the desired location and mounting holes on the wall according to your chosen mounting method (surface or recessed).
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Use appropriate drill bits for your wall material (e.g., drywall, tile, stud). Insert wall anchors if necessary.
4. Mount the Cabinet: Secure the cabinet to the wall using the provided screws and hardware. Ensure it is level and securely fastened.
5. Install Shelves: Insert the glass shelves into the desired positions using the shelf clips.
6. Adjust Door (if needed): Fine-tune hinge adjustments for proper door alignment and soft-close function.

Note: Detailed step-by-step instructions with diagrams are included in the physical instruction sheet provided with your product. This section provides a general overview.

Operation

• Opening/Closing the Door: Gently pull the door open or push it closed. The BLUM soft-close hinges will ensure a smooth and silent operation, preventing abrupt slamming.
• Adjusting Shelves: The glass shelves are adjustable. To reposition a shelf, carefully remove any items, lift the shelf, and move the shelf clips to the desired height. Then, reinsert the shelf. Ensure clips are securely seated before placing items on the shelf.
• Storage: Utilize the two tiers of glass shelving for organizing bathroom essentials. Avoid overloading shelves beyond their capacity.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning the Mirror: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a standard 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 aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Dry thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
• Cleaning Glass Shelves: Remove shelves and wash with mild soap and water, or a glass cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinserting.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and mirror surface.
• Hinge Maintenance: The BLUM hinges are designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. Avoid applying excessive force to the door.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all mounting hardware to ensure it remains tight and secure.
