Installation Instructions
This section outlines the steps for wall-mounting your Ibergrif M41102-R sink. Ensure you have all necessary tools and components before starting.
Tools Required (Not Included):
- Measuring tape
- Pencil or marker
- Level
- Drill
- 14mm masonry drill bit (for solid walls)
- 8mm spanner
- Sealant (e.g., silicone)
Important Note: These fixings are suitable for solid walls only. Plasterboard or stud walls may require specialist fixings (not supplied). Always verify wall type before drilling.
Step-by-Step Installation:
- Mark Drilling Positions: Hold the washbasin against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the positions for the two mounting holes. Ensure the basin is level.
Figure 4: Diagram illustrating the drilling process for the wall-mounted sink.
- Drill Holes: Drill two holes in the marked positions on the wall using a 14mm masonry drill bit, to a depth of 75mm.
- Insert Wall Plugs: Push a wall plug (plastic solenoid) into each drilled hole until it is flush with the wall surface.
- Insert Fixing Bolts: Screw a fixing bolt (metal screw) into each wall plug using an 8mm spanner until the spanner contacts the wall. Leave enough of the bolt protruding to accommodate the sink and nuts.
- Position Basin: Place the basin in position against the wall, locating the fixing bolts through the holes in the rear of the basin.
- Secure Basin: Push a plastic washer, followed by a metal washer, onto each fixing bolt. Then, screw a metal nut onto each fixing bolt to secure the basin.
Caution: Do not over-tighten, as this will damage the ceramic.
- Connect Plumbing: Install your chosen faucet, drain assembly, and P-trap according to their respective manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Seal Edges: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the edges where the sink meets the wall to prevent water penetration.

Operation
The Ibergrif M41102-R sink is designed for standard bathroom use. Once installed and connected to water supply and drainage, operate your faucet as per its instructions to control water flow and temperature. Ensure the drain stopper (if installed) is functioning correctly to retain or release water as needed.
Maintenance and Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ceramic sink, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: The smooth, non-porous ceramic surface is easy to clean. Wipe regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive household cleaner.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., strong acids or alkalis) as these can damage the ceramic finish.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and gently scrubbed with a soft brush, then rinsed thoroughly.
- Prevent Scratches: Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the sink, which could chip or scratch the ceramic.
- Drain Care: Regularly clean the drain area to prevent buildup and ensure proper drainage.
