Revision: 01.16
1. Measure the mantle, TV, sound bar or drywall to be protected. For surfaces that are not flat and have a curve to them, we
strongly recommend making a template using paper or cardboard.
2. Carefully transfer your measurements to the MantleFlect Shield™, and cut out with a heavy duty pair of scissors or utility
knife
3. Mantle, TV, sound bar or drywall temperature should be at least 50°F when applying, sticking onto anything colder may not
allow adhesive to set up properly.
4. Be sure appliance, cabinet, or wall surface is dust free and clean. Drywall should have one coat of paint or primer. We
strongly recommend rubbing the surface with a pre-paint cleaner or isopropyl alcohol (or other non-residue cleaner).
5. Measure the refrigerator panel, cabinet, or wall to be protected. Using a heavy duty pair of scissors to trim the MantleFlect
Shield™ to shape if necessary.
6. Tricky Step: Carefully peel the adhesive backing off the MantleFlect Shield™. We strongly recommend using razor blade or
utility knife to start peeling the release paper from one corner of the MantleFlect Shield™. Be sure you are peeling off only
the craft paper, not the adhesive from the Kool Core insulation.
7. Lay the MantleFlect Shield™ by starting on one edge of the cabinet or wall and work out slowly to ensure no “bubbles”
occur. Air bubbles will cause the material to not stick and fall off.
8. Press the MantleFlect Shield™ rmly onto the mantle, TV, sound bar or drywall while pressing down for 20 seconds.
9. You can use screws as an additional attachment method on drywall or wood mantle.
