2. Safety Information

Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product:

• Heavy Object: The washbasin is heavy. Always use appropriate lifting techniques and seek assistance during transport and installation to avoid injury.
• Professional Installation: Installation should be performed by a qualified professional plumber or installer to ensure correct and secure mounting, as well as proper plumbing connections.
• Wall Suitability: Ensure the wall structure is strong enough to support the weight of the washbasin and any additional load (e.g., water, user leaning on it). Consult a structural engineer if unsure.
• Water Supply: Turn off the main water supply before beginning any plumbing work.
• Sharp Edges: Handle with care to avoid chipping or breaking the ceramic, which can create sharp edges.

4. Setup and Installation

This washbasin is designed for wall-mounted installation. Accurate measurements and secure fastening are crucial.

4.1. Required Tools and Materials (Not Included)

• Drill and appropriate drill bits for wall material
• Level, measuring tape, pencil
• Wrenches, screwdriver
• Sealant (silicone)
• Safety glasses and gloves

4.2. Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall area for installation is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Mark the desired height for the washbasin, typically 80-90 cm from the floor to the top rim.
2. Mark Mounting Points: Using the provided mounting kit (891940) and the technical drawing as a guide, mark the precise drilling locations on the wall. Use a level to ensure accuracy. The distance between mounting bolts is critical for stability.
3. Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked locations to the specified depth and diameter for the mounting bolts. Insert appropriate wall anchors if required by your wall type.
4. Install Mounting Bolts: Securely fasten the mounting bolts into the wall. Ensure they are firmly seated and protrude sufficiently to accommodate the washbasin.
5. Connect Plumbing: Before mounting the basin, connect the drain assembly and any necessary faucet supply lines (if using a wall-mounted faucet). Apply sealant as required to ensure watertight connections.
6. Mount the Washbasin: Carefully lift the washbasin and align its mounting holes with the bolts on the wall. Slide the basin onto the bolts.
7. Secure the Basin: Attach the washers and nuts from the mounting kit onto the bolts and tighten them evenly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the ceramic. Ensure the basin is level and stable.
8. Seal Edges: Apply a bead of silicone sealant along the top and side edges where the washbasin meets the wall to prevent water ingress. Smooth the sealant for a clean finish.
9. Final Plumbing Connections: Connect the P-trap to the drain assembly and the main waste pipe. Connect the faucet supply lines to the hot and cold water supplies.
10. Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Run water into the basin and observe the drain for any drips.

5. Usage

The Laufen PRO S washbasin is designed for standard bathroom use, including hand washing, face washing, and other personal hygiene activities. The integrated overflow helps prevent accidental flooding if the drain is blocked while the water is running.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will maintain the aesthetic appeal and hygiene of your Laufen PRO S washbasin.

• Daily Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Stubborn Stains: For more stubborn stains, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Apply the cleaner to a soft sponge or cloth, gently wipe the stained area, then rinse thoroughly.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, harsh chemicals (e.g., strong acids, alkalis, bleach-based products), or solvents, as these can damage the ceramic glaze.
• Descaling: In hard water areas, limescale deposits may form. Use a descaling agent specifically designed for ceramic surfaces, following the product's instructions carefully.
• Drain Maintenance: Periodically clean the drain to prevent blockages. Avoid pouring grease or harsh chemicals down the drain.
