Step 1 – Bend the clips on the back of the frame up.
Step 2 – Remove the glazing, mat, and backboard from the frame.
***** WARNING ***** The edges of the frame pieces can be sharp. It is recommended that you use gloves while handling them.
Step 3 – Mount the picture to the mat or backboard with rice-paper hinges or acid free tape. We recommended you only mount the picture at a couple of points along the top. The picture and the mat or backboard will not expand and contract equally through temperature changes. This can cause waves to form in the picture.
Step 4 – Remove the protective covering from both sides of the glazing. Make sure the area you are working in is clean and free of dust. Static may build up on the glazing causing it to attract dust and other loose debris. We leave the protective coating on during shipment to ensure the glazing arrives in perfect condition.
*****WARNING ***** The acrylic glazing is sensitive to scratching. DO NOT USE window cleaning sprays, kitchen scouring compounds, or solvents such as acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner to clean it. Dry or gritty cloths may cause surface scratches. Soft, damp, and lint free, cleaning cloths such as 3M Scotch-Brite High Performance Cleaning Cloth should be used with light pressure and clean water. Dry or dust with soft damp cloth or chamois.
Step 5 – Insert the glazing, mat, and backboard back into the frame.
Step 6 – Bend the clips on the back of the picture frame back down against the mount board so that frame contents are held securely in place.
Step 7 – Using a Philips head screw driver, mount the wire hangers on the back of the frame. They should be located about 1/3 of the height of the frame from the top.
Step 8 – Attach the hanging wire to the wire mounts and tie it off.
Step 9 – Attach the wall corner protectors to the two lower corners of the picture frame.
Step 10 – Hang your beautiful artwork!
