2. Safety Instructions
- Always ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning any installation or maintenance work.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection during installation.
- Handle the ceramic washbasin with care to prevent chipping or breakage. Ceramic is heavy and fragile.
- Ensure the wall structure is suitable and strong enough to support the weight of the washbasin when filled with water. Consult a professional if unsure.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the ceramic surface, as this may damage the nano-coating.
- Keep small parts and tools out of reach of children.

4. Setup and Installation
This washbasin is designed for wall-mounted installation. Ensure you have the necessary tools and additional components (faucet, drain, mounting hardware) before starting.
4.1 Required Tools and Materials (Not Included):
- Drill and appropriate drill bits for your wall type
- Measuring tape and pencil
- Level
- Wrench/Spanner
- Sealant (silicone)
- Mounting screws and wall plugs suitable for your wall type and the washbasin's weight
- Faucet and drain assembly
4.2 Installation Steps:
- Measure and Mark: Carefully measure the dimensions of the washbasin and the desired installation height. Mark the positions for the two wall mounting holes on the wall. The distance between the mounting holes is approximately 150 mm (refer to Image 4.1). Ensure the marks are level.
- Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked positions using an appropriate drill bit for your wall material. Insert the wall plugs.
- Attach Mounting Hardware: Secure the mounting screws or studs into the wall plugs, leaving enough thread exposed for the washbasin.
- Install Faucet and Drain: Before mounting the washbasin to the wall, install the faucet and drain assembly according to their respective manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all connections are sealed properly to prevent leaks.
- Mount Washbasin: Carefully lift the washbasin and align the mounting holes on the back with the exposed screws/studs on the wall. Push the washbasin onto the screws and tighten securely. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the ceramic.
- Seal Edges: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the edges where the washbasin meets the wall to prevent water ingress. Note that the back of the washbasin is not glazed.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet. Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks.
- Test Drainage: Run water into the basin and check that the drain functions correctly and there are no leaks in the drain assembly.
