Setup and Installation
Pre-Installation
- Ensure your countertop has a pre-cut hole suitable for a 29-inch drop-in sink. Refer to the provided dimension diagram for precise measurements.
- Gather necessary tools: sealant, screwdriver, wrench, measuring tape, safety glasses, and gloves.
- Turn off the water supply at the main valve.
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Countertop: Clean the edges of the countertop opening. Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the opening.
- Position the Sink: Carefully lower the sink into the countertop opening. Ensure it is centered and level.
- Secure the Sink: Attach the mounting clips (if provided) to the underside of the sink rim and tighten them against the countertop to secure the sink in place.
- Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
- Connect Drain Assembly: Install the drain assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Connect the drain pipes, ensuring all seals are properly seated to prevent leaks.
- Connect Purification Faucet: The purification faucet requires connection to an external water filtration system (e.g., reverse osmosis). If no such system is present, this faucet will not function.
- Overflow Connection: When connecting the overflow, ensure sufficient clearance between the overflow pipe and the underside of the countertop. In some installations, the overflow connection may interfere with countertop structures, requiring adjustments or professional assistance.
- Dishwasher Drain: This sink does not include a dedicated drain port for a dishwasher. An alternative plumbing solution for dishwasher drainage will be required.
- Test for Leaks: Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks around the faucet, drain, and supply lines.

Operating Instructions
Faucet Controls
- Main Faucet: The primary faucet features a pull-down sprayer with multiple spray patterns. Use the lever to control water flow and temperature.
- Waterfall Spouts: Two types of waterfall spouts are integrated to soften the water flow. Activate these using the designated controls on the faucet panel.
- Digital Temperature Display: The integrated display shows the water temperature in real-time.
- Cup Washer: Position a cup or glass over the cup washer and press down to activate a high-pressure rinse. Exercise caution as the spray is powerful; always hold the glass firmly.
- Purification Faucet: This separate faucet provides filtered water, provided it is connected to an appropriate external water purification system.

Workstation Accessories
The sink includes several accessories designed to enhance functionality:
- Chopping Board: The wooden chopping board fits securely over the sink, providing a convenient food preparation surface. It can slide along the workstation ledge.
- Water Basin & Draining Basket: These accessories can be placed on the workstation ledge for washing vegetables, draining pasta, or holding utensils.

Maintenance
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, wipe the sink surface with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its gold finish.
- Regular Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based cleaners) as these can scratch or damage the stainless steel and gold finish.
- Scratch Resistance: The sink features honeycomb embossing for enhanced scratch resistance and wearability. However, avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the sink to prevent damage.
- Drain Maintenance: Periodically remove and clean the drain basket to prevent clogs.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Vague Installation Instructions | Original instructions may lack detail. | Refer to this comprehensive manual. If issues persist, contact Weibath customer support. |
| Purification Faucet Not Working | Not connected to an external water filtration system. | This faucet requires a separate water purification system (e.g., reverse osmosis) for functionality. It is not a standalone filter. |
| Overflow Connection Interference | Insufficient clearance between overflow pipe and countertop. | Carefully check dimensions and clearance during installation. Professional installation may be required to resolve complex fitting issues. |
| No Dishwasher Drain Port | Sink design does not include a dedicated dishwasher drain. | An alternative plumbing method for dishwasher drainage must be implemented by a qualified plumber. |
| Water Temperature/Pressure Issues | Improper connections, internal faucet issue. | Verify all water supply line connections are secure. If the issue persists, consult a qualified plumber or contact customer support. |
| Cup Rinser Spraying Excessively | High pressure operation. | The cup rinser operates at high pressure. Always place a cup firmly over the nozzle before activation to contain the spray. |
