Setup and Installation

The KOHLER K-2287-1-7 Devonshire basin is a component designed for integration with a separate pedestal. It is not intended for standalone installation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper function and compliance with local plumbing codes.

Before You Begin:

• Ensure you have all necessary tools and additional components, including a compatible Devonshire pedestal, faucet, drain assembly, and supply lines.
• Turn off the main water supply to the bathroom.
• Clear the installation area.

Installation Steps (General Guidance):

1. Prepare the Pedestal: Position the pedestal in the desired location, ensuring it is level and stable.
2. Install Faucet and Drain: Install the faucet and drain assembly onto the basin according to their respective manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all connections are sealed properly to prevent leaks.
3. Mount the Basin: Carefully place the basin onto the pedestal. The basin typically rests on the pedestal and is secured to the wall using appropriate mounting hardware (not always included with the basin, check pedestal instructions). Ensure the basin is level and securely fastened.
4. Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet. Tighten all connections securely, but do not overtighten.
5. Connect Drain: Connect the drain assembly to the P-trap and the main drain line. Ensure all connections are watertight.
6. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Run water through the faucet and into the drain to verify proper function.

Refer to the specific installation instructions provided with your chosen pedestal and faucet for detailed, step-by-step guidance.

Operating Instructions

The KOHLER K-2287-1-7 Devonshire Pedestal Bathroom Sink Basin operates like any standard bathroom sink. Its primary function is to provide a receptacle for water for washing and hygiene purposes.

• Water Flow: Use the faucet handles (not included with basin) to control the flow and temperature of water.
• Drainage: The sink features a standard drain opening. Ensure the drain stopper (if applicable to your drain assembly) is functioning correctly to retain or release water as needed.
• Overflow: The basin includes an overflow hole to prevent accidental spills if the drain is closed and the water level rises too high. Ensure this opening remains clear of obstructions.

Maintenance

Proper care and cleaning will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your ceramic sink basin.

General Cleaning:

• Clean the sink regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
• Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and wipe dry to prevent water spots.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., strong acids, ammonia-based cleaners) as these can damage the ceramic finish.

Preventing Damage:

• Do not drop heavy or sharp objects into the basin, as this can chip or crack the ceramic.
• Avoid exposing the sink to extreme temperature changes.
• Ensure the overflow opening is kept clear to allow proper drainage in case of a full basin.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your sink basin.

Issue: Slow Drainage

• Possible Cause: Clog in the drain or P-trap.
• Solution: Remove the drain stopper and clear any visible debris. If the clog persists, disassemble and clean the P-trap. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, which can damage plumbing.

Issue: Leaks Around Faucet or Drain

• Possible Cause: Loose connections or worn seals.
• Solution: Check all connections for tightness. If leaks persist, inspect and replace any worn washers or O-rings in the faucet or drain assembly.

Issue: Water Stains or Discoloration

• Possible Cause: Hard water deposits or residue from cleaning products.
• Solution: Clean with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner designed for ceramic surfaces. For hard water stains, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
