Do not scrape ice off the mirror face;
this may damage the surface of the

ice, use a deicer spray, or a sponge
or soft cloth with warm water.

If the mirror is jammed with ice, do
not adjust the mirror by force. Use
an approved spray de-icer (not radi‐
ator antifreeze) to release the fro‐

to a warm place and allow the ice to
melt.
