4. Setup and Installation

The Parryware LUCO Series Full Pedestal Wash Basin is designed for freestanding installation. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper fitting and functionality.

General Installation Steps (Consult a Professional):

1. Preparation: Ensure the floor is level and the plumbing connections (water supply and drain) are correctly positioned for a full pedestal basin.
2. Positioning the Pedestal: Place the pedestal in the desired location, ensuring it is stable and aligned with the wall.
3. Mounting the Basin: Carefully lift the basin and align it with the pedestal and the wall. Mark the drilling points for wall mounting.
4. Drilling and Securing: Drill holes as marked and secure the basin to the wall using appropriate fasteners (not included). Ensure the basin is level and firmly attached.
5. Connecting Plumbing: Install the faucet into the pre-drilled faucet hole. Connect the water supply lines and the drain assembly according to manufacturer instructions for those components.
6. Sealing: Apply a suitable sealant around the edges where the basin meets the wall to prevent water ingress.
7. Testing: Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks at all connections.

5. Usage

The wash basin is designed for standard bathroom use, including hand washing and general hygiene. Ensure that the faucet is properly installed and functioning before use. Avoid placing excessively heavy objects on the basin or applying undue force, as this may cause damage to the ceramic or its mounting.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Parryware ceramic wash basin:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the basin regularly with non-abrasive cleaners. Mild soap and water are generally sufficient.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals such as acid-based cleaners, abrasive powders, or scouring pads, as these can damage the ceramic glaze, leading to scaling and discoloration.
• Drying: After cleaning, wipe the basin with a dry, soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.
• Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a ceramic-safe cleaner and follow the product's instructions.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and general advice:

• Leaks: If you notice any leaks around the faucet or drain, check all connections for tightness. If the leak persists, consult a plumber.
• Slow Drainage: A slow draining basin often indicates a partial blockage in the drain pipe. Try using a plunger or a chemical drain cleaner (ensure it is safe for your plumbing system). If the issue continues, professional help may be required.
• Chips or Cracks: Ceramic is durable but can chip or crack if subjected to heavy impact. Small chips can sometimes be repaired with ceramic repair kits. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
