Installation Steps (General Guidelines):
- Prepare Countertop: Based on the technical drawing, mark and drill the necessary holes for the drain and faucet on your countertop. Ensure proper alignment.
- Secure Sink: Place the sink on the countertop, aligning the drain hole. Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the sink firmly to the countertop.
- Install Faucet: Install your chosen faucet into the pre-drilled faucet hole according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions. Connect water supply lines.
- Install Drain Assembly: Install a standard 1.25-inch pop-up drain assembly into the sink's drain hole. Ensure all seals are watertight.
- Connect Plumbing: Connect the drain assembly to your P-trap and waste line. Connect the faucet's hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding shut-off valves.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check all connections for leaks. Run water through the faucet and drain to ensure proper flow and drainage.
Operating Instructions
The Scarabeo 1802 sink operates like any standard bathroom sink. Water flow is controlled by the installed faucet, and drainage is managed by the pop-up drain mechanism.
Basic Operation:
- To fill the sink, operate your faucet's handles or lever to achieve the desired water temperature and flow.
- To retain water in the basin, activate the pop-up drain stopper.
- To drain the sink, deactivate the pop-up drain stopper.

Maintenance and Care
To maintain the pristine appearance and extend the life of your ceramic sink, follow these care instructions.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the sink with a dry, soft cloth after each use to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
- Regular Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaner and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (e.g., strong acids, alkalis, or drain cleaners) as these can damage the ceramic finish.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and then rinsed.
- Drain Maintenance: Periodically remove and clean the pop-up drain stopper to clear any hair or debris that may accumulate.
