1. Ensure the vanity cabinet is properly installed, level, and securely fastened to the wall.
2. Verify that the plumbing rough-ins (water supply lines and drain) are correctly positioned and accessible.
3. Clean the top surface of the vanity cabinet where the new top will rest.

4.3 Installation Steps

1. Position the Vanity Top: Carefully lift the vanity top and place it onto the vanity cabinet. Ensure it is centered and aligned with the cabinet edges.
2. Check for Level: Use a level to confirm the vanity top is perfectly level. Make any necessary adjustments to the cabinet or use shims if required.
3. Secure the Top: Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant along the top edges of the vanity cabinet where the vanity top will sit. Carefully lower the vanity top into place. Apply pressure to ensure good adhesion.
4. Install Faucet and Drain Assembly: Install your chosen faucet and drain assembly according to their respective manufacturer's instructions. The vanity top is pre-drilled for 8-inch widespread faucets.
5. Connect Plumbing: Connect the water supply lines to the faucet and the drain assembly to the P-trap. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
6. Install Backsplash: Apply a bead of silicone sealant to the back edge of the vanity top where the backsplash will sit. Press the backsplash firmly into place. Apply a thin bead of silicone along the seam where the backsplash meets the wall and the vanity top for a watertight seal.
7. Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check all plumbing connections for leaks. Run water through the faucet and into the sink to ensure proper drainage.
8. Cure Time: Allow the silicone sealant to cure completely as per the manufacturer's instructions before heavy use.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and beauty of your ARIEL Quartz vanity top.

6.1 Daily Cleaning

• Wipe with a dry cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
• For general cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and warm water.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry the surface to prevent streaking.

6.2 Stain Removal

• For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive household cleaner specifically designed for quartz or stone surfaces.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or strong acids/alkalines, as these can damage the polished surface.
• Immediately wipe up spills, especially those from highly pigmented liquids like nail polish, hair dye, or strong cleaning agents.

6.3 General Tips

• Do not place hot items directly on the surface without protection.
• Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects on the vanity top, as this can cause chipping or cracking.
• The quartz surface is double-polished and sealed for longevity, preventing discoloration and fading. No additional sealing is typically required.
