Using this mirror is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot on your wall for surface mounting. You'll notice the mirror comes with two wall brackets. Install these brackets on the wall using the appropriate tools. Then, place the mirror on the brackets and secure it with the anti - theft screws. Remember to use a Phillips head screwdriver for the locking screw on the lower bracket. As for maintenance, clean the mirror regularly with a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials as they can scratch the glass. Also, check the brackets and screws periodically to make sure they're tight and secure. This will help keep your mirror in top - notch condition for years to come.
