4.3 Wall Mounting (Type de fixation: Montage mural)

1. Determine Mounting Height: Decide on the desired height for your vanity unit, considering the height of your basin (not included). Mark the positions for the mounting brackets on the wall.
2. Prepare Wall: Using a level, ensure your marks are perfectly horizontal. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Use appropriate wall plugs and screws for your specific wall type (e.g., concrete, plasterboard, stud wall).
3. Attach Mounting Brackets: Securely fasten the wall mounting brackets to the wall. Ensure they are robust enough to hold the unit's weight (33 kg empty, plus contents and basin).
4. Mount the Vanity Unit: With the help of another person, carefully lift the assembled vanity unit and align its pre-drilled holes or integrated hanging system with the wall brackets. Secure the unit to the brackets. Double-check for stability and levelness.
5. Install Basin (if applicable): If your basin is designed to sit on top of the vanity unit, place it carefully and seal any edges as per basin manufacturer instructions.

5. Operating Instructions

The Vente-unique ARUBA vanity unit is designed for simple and efficient use.

• Drawer Use: The unit features two spacious drawers for storing bathroom essentials. To open, gently pull the integrated handle-less fronts.
• Soft-Close Mechanism: The drawers are equipped with a soft-close system. When closing, push the drawer gently until the mechanism engages, and it will slowly and silently close the rest of the way. Avoid forcing the drawers shut.

6. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ARUBA vanity unit, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or solvents that can damage the laminated finish.
• Spills: Immediately wipe up any water spills or moisture to prevent swelling or damage to the MDF material.
• Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level in the bathroom to prevent warping or damage to the wood-based materials.
• Drawer Mechanisms: Periodically check the drawer runners and soft-close mechanisms for smooth operation. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone spray (applied carefully to the runners, avoiding contact with wood surfaces) can help, but generally, they are maintenance-free.
• Fasteners: Occasionally check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.

7. Troubleshooting

• Drawers not closing smoothly:
  • Check for obstructions in the drawer runners.
  • Ensure the soft-close mechanism is correctly engaged.
  • Verify that the drawer runners are securely attached and level.
• Unit appears wobbly after installation:
  • Ensure all wall mounting brackets are securely fastened to the wall and the unit.
  • Confirm that the wall itself is structurally sound. If not, professional assistance is required.
  • Check all internal assembly screws for tightness.
• Surface damage (scratches, chips):
  • Minor scratches may be repairable with furniture repair kits or touch-up pens matching the finish.
  • For significant damage, contact Vente-unique customer support for advice.
