Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Duravit Starck 3 030060 Ceramic Vanity Top. Please read these instructions carefully before beginning installation or use to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your product. This ceramic vanity top is designed for wall-mount installation and features a single faucet hole.
Setup and Installation
1. Pre-Installation Checks
- Inspect the vanity top for any damage prior to installation. Do not install damaged products.
- Ensure all necessary plumbing connections (water supply and drain) are correctly positioned and accessible for a wall-mount sink.
- Verify that the wall structure is adequate to support the weight of the ceramic vanity top and any additional fixtures.
2. Tools and Materials Required
- Measuring tape
- Level
- Drill
- Wall anchors/mounting hardware (appropriate for your wall type, typically supplied with the sink or purchased separately)
- Silicone sealant
- Adjustable wrench
- Screwdriver
- Safety glasses and gloves
3. Installation Steps
- Marking the Wall: Determine the desired height for the vanity top. Use a level to mark the horizontal line where the top edge of the sink will sit. Mark the positions for the mounting bolts according to the sink's pre-drilled holes.
- Drilling Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Insert appropriate wall anchors if required by your wall type.
- Installing Mounting Hardware: Secure the mounting bolts or brackets into the wall, ensuring they are level and firmly attached.
- Mounting the Vanity Top: Carefully lift the ceramic vanity top and align its mounting holes with the installed bolts/brackets. Slide the sink onto the hardware.
- Securing the Sink: Attach washers and nuts to the mounting bolts and tighten them securely, but do not overtighten to avoid cracking the ceramic. Ensure the sink is level and stable.
- Sealing: Apply a bead of silicone sealant along the back edge of the sink where it meets the wall to prevent water penetration.
- Faucet and Drain Installation: Install the faucet and drain assembly according to their respective manufacturer's instructions. Connect the water supply lines and drain trap.
- Testing: Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks at all connections.

Operating Instructions
The Duravit Starck 3 030060 Ceramic Vanity Top functions as a standard bathroom sink. Operate the faucet to control water flow and temperature. Ensure the drain stopper (if installed) is properly seated or open as needed for water retention or drainage.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning Instructions
- For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., strong acids, alkalis, or bleach-based products) as these can damage the ceramic glaze.
- For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive ceramic cleaner can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
2. General Care
- Do not place extremely hot objects directly on the ceramic surface.
- Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the sink, which could chip or crack the ceramic.
- Regularly check plumbing connections for any signs of leaks and tighten if necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Slow Drainage: Check the drain stopper for obstructions. If clear, the issue may be in the P-trap or further down the plumbing line. Consult a plumber if necessary.
- Leaks Around Faucet/Drain: Ensure all connections are tight. Check the seals and gaskets for proper placement and condition. Replace worn seals if needed.
- Water Spots/Stains: These are often due to hard water. Regular cleaning with a mild descaling agent (vinegar solution) can help, followed by thorough rinsing.
- Sink Wobbles: Re-check the wall mounting hardware. Ensure bolts are securely tightened and the sink is properly seated against the wall.
