4. Faucet Installation
The countertop is pre-drilled for a 4-inch faucet (faucet sold separately). Follow the faucet manufacturer's instructions for installation. Ensure a watertight seal at all connections.
5. Backsplash Installation
Apply a bead of silicone sealant along the top edge of the countertop where the backsplash will sit. Carefully place the backsplash onto the sealant, ensuring it is level and centered. Apply a thin bead of sealant along the joint between the backsplash and the wall for a finished look and to prevent water penetration.

Operation
Your Sophia vanity is designed for ease of use and durability.
Soft-Closing Doors and Drawers
The vanity features soft-closing hinges on the door and soft-closing glides on the three drawers. This mechanism allows for quiet and gentle closing, preventing slamming and extending the life of the components. Simply push the door or drawer gently to engage the soft-close feature.

Adjustable Interior Shelving
The cabinet behind the door includes adjustable interior shelving, allowing you to customize storage space to fit your needs. To adjust, remove items from the shelf, lift the shelf, and reposition the shelf clips to the desired height. Ensure the shelf is securely seated on all four clips before placing items back.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your vanity.
- Granite Countertop: Clean with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or abrasive pads, as these can damage the granite surface. Seal the granite periodically (every 6-12 months) to maintain its resistance to stains and moisture.
- Cabinet Finish: The pure white finish resists moisture, scratches, and stains. Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to water or excessive moisture.
- Hardware: The brushed nickel hardware features MetalGuard™ technology to help keep it shiny and spotless. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes.
- Ceramic Basin: Clean with standard bathroom cleaners. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
- General: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent staining or water damage.
