- Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location, ensuring it is structurally sound and has access to water supply and drainage if a tap is to be installed.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the sink against the wall at the desired height and mark the positions for the wall fixings. Use a level to ensure the sink will be horizontal.

The sink features a pre-marked area on the soap dish tray for drilling a hole to install a mixer tap, if a wall-mounted tap is not used.

6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper care will ensure the longevity of your Negrari AM2051BG sink.
- Cleaning: Clean the sink regularly with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth or sponge.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Despite its acid-resistant properties, avoid using abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can dull the finish or damage the resin over time.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a diluted solution of white vinegar or a non-abrasive household cleaner can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
- Drain Maintenance: Periodically remove and clean the drain plug and siphon to prevent blockages and odors.
- Outdoor Use: For outdoor installations, ensure the sink is regularly cleaned to prevent accumulation of dirt, leaves, or other debris. Its weather-resistant properties make it suitable for outdoor exposure.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leakage | Loose connections at drain, siphon, or tap; damaged seals. | Tighten all connections. Inspect and replace any damaged rubber seals or gaskets. Ensure proper sealant was used during installation. |
| Slow Drainage | Partial blockage in the drain or siphon. | Remove the drain plug and clean any debris. Disassemble and clean the siphon if necessary. Avoid pouring grease or large particles down the drain. |
