Installation Instructions
Note: These fixings are suitable for solid walls only. Plasterboard or stud walls may require specialist fixings (not supplied). Care should be taken when drilling walls and floors to avoid any sunken wires or pipes.
- Prepare the Wall: Drill two holes in the required position on the wall using a 14mm masonry drill bit, to a depth of 75mm. Ensure the spacing matches the mounting holes on the basin.
- Insert Wall Plugs: Push a wall plug into each drilled hole until flush with the wall surface.
- Install Fixing Bolts: Screw a fixing bolt into each wall plug using an 8mm spanner until the spanner contacts the wall. Do not overtighten.
- Position the Basin: Place the basin in position against the wall, locating the fixing bolts through the holes in the rear of the basin. Push a plastic washer, followed by a metal washer, onto each fixing bolt.
- Secure the Basin: Screw a metal nut onto each fixing bolt to secure the basin. Caution: Do not over-tighten, as this may damage the ceramic.
- Connect Plumbing: Connect the water supply lines and drain assembly (not included) according to local plumbing codes. Ensure all connections are watertight.

Care and Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and hygiene of your ceramic basin, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the basin regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and mild, non-abrasive household cleaners.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or strong chemicals (e.g., strong acids, bleach) as these can damage the ceramic surface.
- Rinse Thoroughly: After cleaning, rinse the basin thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry to prevent water spots.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a ceramic-safe stain remover and follow the product instructions carefully.
