Please read these instructions thoroughly before beginning installation and retain them for future reference.

2. Safety Information

Adherence to the following safety guidelines is crucial for preventing injury and property damage:

• Professional Installation Recommended: Due to the complexity of plumbing and wall-mounting, professional installation by a qualified plumber or contractor is highly recommended.
• Heavy Item: The vanity and sink are heavy. Exercise caution and use proper lifting techniques or seek assistance during handling and installation to prevent injury.
• Water and Electricity: Ensure all water supply lines are turned off before beginning plumbing work. If electrical work is required for lighting or outlets, consult a licensed electrician.
• Secure Mounting: The vanity must be securely mounted to a structurally sound wall. Failure to do so can result in the unit falling, causing severe injury or damage.

5. Setup and Installation

This vanity is designed for pre-assembled installation to simplify the process. However, proper planning and execution are essential.

5.1 Pre-Installation Checklist

• Tools Required: Measuring tape, level, drill, stud finder, screwdriver, caulk gun, adjustable wrench.
• Location: Ensure the installation area has adequate wall support for a floating vanity.
• Plumbing: Verify existing water supply and drain lines are correctly positioned for a wall-mounted unit. The vanity features an open-back design and a U-shaped drawer cutout for plumbing access.

5.2 Mounting the Vanity Base

1. Determine the desired height for the vanity. Use a level to mark the mounting points on the wall.
2. Locate wall studs using a stud finder. It is highly recommended to mount the vanity directly into studs for maximum stability. If studs are not available at desired locations, use appropriate heavy-duty wall anchors (not always included, consult a professional).
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
4. Carefully lift the vanity base and align it with the pilot holes. Secure the vanity to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.

5.3 Installing the Ceramic Sink

1. Carefully place the ceramic sink onto the vanity base. Ensure it is properly aligned with the cabinet.
2. Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the edges where the sink meets the vanity to create a watertight seal. Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions.

5.4 Plumbing Connections

1. Install the faucet (not included) according to its manufacturer's instructions.
2. Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet.
3. Connect the drain assembly to the sink and then to the P-trap and wall drain pipe.
4. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Tighten connections as necessary.

5.5 Mirror Installation

1. Determine the desired height and center position for the mirror above the vanity.
2. Mark the mounting points on the wall.
3. Drill pilot holes and install appropriate wall anchors or screws.
4. Carefully hang the mirror, ensuring it is level and secure.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Soft-Close Drawer System

The vanity is equipped with adjustable soft-close drawer glides. This feature allows the drawer to close gently and silently, preventing slamming and reducing wear over time. To operate, simply push the drawer inward; the mechanism will engage and pull the drawer to a soft close.

7. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Blossom vanity.

7.1 Ceramic Sink Care

• Clean the ceramic sink regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can damage the smooth, non-porous surface.
• Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and wipe dry to prevent water spots.

7.2 Vanity Cabinet Care

• Wipe the plywood cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner.
• Avoid excessive moisture exposure, although the plywood construction is water-resistant, prolonged standing water can cause damage.
• Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or abrasive particles.

7.3 Mirror Care

• Clean the mirror surface with a glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Spray cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to prevent liquid from seeping behind the mirror edges.

8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

8.1 Difficulty Accessing Plumbing Behind Drawer

The vanity drawer is designed with a U-shaped cutout to accommodate plumbing. If you encounter difficulty accessing plumbing for adjustments or repairs, it may be necessary to temporarily remove the drawer. Consult the drawer glide manufacturer's instructions for specific removal procedures, as these can vary. If the drawer mechanism seems stuck or difficult to remove, avoid excessive force to prevent damage. It is advisable to consult a professional plumber or handyman for assistance with plumbing access or drawer removal if you are unsure.

8.2 Water Leaks

• Check all plumbing connections (faucet, supply lines, drain) for tightness.
• Ensure the silicone sealant around the sink is intact and watertight. Reapply if necessary.
• If leaks persist, turn off the main water supply and contact a qualified plumber.

8.3 Drawer Not Closing Smoothly

• Check for any obstructions within the drawer glides or the drawer itself.
• Ensure the drawer is properly seated on its glides.
• The soft-close mechanism may require occasional adjustment. Refer to the glide manufacturer's instructions for adjustment procedures.
