2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Verify all components are present and undamaged.
- Ensure the wall structure is adequate to support the weight of the sink and any accessories.
- Confirm water supply lines and drain connections are correctly positioned according to local plumbing codes.
- Gather necessary tools: measuring tape, level, drill, appropriate fasteners for wall type, sealant, wrenches.
2.2 Wall-Mount Installation Steps
- Marking: Using the provided template or the sink itself, mark the desired height and mounting points on the wall. Ensure the marks are level.
- Drilling: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Use drill bits appropriate for your wall material (e.g., tile, drywall, concrete).
- Securing Brackets/Bolts: Install the wall mounting brackets or hanger bolts securely into the wall. Ensure they are firmly anchored.
- Faucet and Drain Assembly: Install the faucet and drain assembly onto the sink according to their respective manufacturer's instructions before mounting the sink to the wall.
- Mounting the Sink: Carefully lift the sink and align it with the installed wall brackets or hanger bolts. Secure the sink in place using the provided hardware. Do not overtighten.
- Connecting Plumbing: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet. Connect the drain trap to the sink's drain outlet and to the wall drain pipe.
- Sealing: Apply a bead of silicone sealant along the back edge of the sink where it meets the wall to prevent water infiltration.
- Testing: Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks at all connections.

4. Maintenance and Care
4.1 Cleaning the Ceramic Surface
To maintain the pristine appearance of your Duravit Vero Air sink, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the sink surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Stubborn Stains: For more stubborn stains, use a ceramic-safe cleaner. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, strong acids, or alkaline solutions, as these can damage the ceramic finish. Avoid leaving harsh chemicals on the surface for extended periods.
4.2 Drain Maintenance
Regularly check the pop-up drain for hair or debris accumulation. Clear any blockages to ensure proper drainage.
