Setup and Installation

This basin is designed for countertop installation. Follow these steps for a secure and functional setup.

1. Prepare the Countertop: Ensure the countertop is clean, dry, and has the necessary opening for the drain and faucet (if applicable). Refer to the dimensional drawing for precise measurements.
2. Position the Basin: Carefully place the basin on the desired location on the countertop. Mark the position for the drain hole and any faucet holes if they need to be drilled into the countertop.
3. Apply Sealant: Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the bottom edge of the basin where it will contact the countertop. This creates a watertight seal.
4. Secure the Basin: Gently press the basin onto the sealant on the countertop. Remove any excess sealant immediately.
5. Install Drain Assembly: Install the pop-up drain assembly (sold separately) according to its manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
6. Connect Faucet (if applicable): Install the faucet (sold separately) and connect the water supply lines according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions.
7. Test for Leaks: Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the water supply and check for any leaks around the drain, faucet, and supply lines. Tighten connections as needed.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your ceramic basin.

• Daily Cleaning: Wipe the basin with a soft, dry cloth after each use to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
• Regular Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, strong acids, or alkaline solutions, as these can damage the ceramic glaze.
• Prevent Stains: Promptly clean up any spills, especially those from dyes, cosmetics, or harsh chemicals, to prevent staining.
• Drain Care: Periodically clean the pop-up drain to remove hair and debris, ensuring proper drainage.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Leaks around the drain: Ensure the drain assembly is properly seated and tightened. Check the sealant around the basin's base.
• Slow drainage: The pop-up drain may be clogged with hair or debris. Remove and clean the drain assembly.
• Water spots: These are common in hard water areas. Wipe the basin dry after each use. For stubborn spots, use a mild descaling solution designed for bathroom fixtures, then rinse thoroughly.

If problems persist, contact a qualified plumber or Roca customer support.
