• Modifica delle foto: To change a photo, simply unhook the frame from the hanging rod, open the back, replace the image, and re-hang.
• Adjusting Layout: Frames can be slid horizontally along the metal ledge to create new arrangements. The hanging rods can also be interchanged to vary the vertical spacing and overall configuration.
• Orientamento: Each frame can be rotated 90 degrees to switch between portrait and landscape orientations as desired.

4. Manutenzione

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Umbra Exhibit Photo Display, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Pulizia dei telai: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe dust from the frames and glass. For smudges on the glass, a mild glass cleaner can be applied to the cloth (not directly to the frame) and then wiped clean.
• Cleaning Metal Ledge: Wipe the metal ledge with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the brushed finish.
• Gestione: When changing photos or adjusting frames, handle them carefully to prevent accidental drops or damage to the glass.

5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your Exhibit Photo Display:

• Frames are not straight: Ensure the metal ledge is installed perfectly level. If the ledge is level, adjust individual frames by gently nudging them until they hang straight. For photos inside the frame, use a small piece of double-sided tape on the back of the photo to secure it to the back panel or the glass, preventing it from shifting.
• Frames feel unsecured/swing: The design allows frames to move for customization. If excessive movement is a concern, ensure the hanging rods are fully seated in the ledge's grooves. For high-traffic areas, consider placing the display out of direct contact to prevent accidental bumps.
• Broken glass: If a glass pane breaks, carefully remove all broken pieces. Contact Umbra customer support for replacement options.
• Difficulty inserting photos: Ensure the photo size matches the frame size (5x7 or 8x10 inches). If the photo is slightly too large, trim it carefully.
