Step-by-Step Installation:

Follow these steps for a secure installation. A small amount of plumber's putty or silicone sealant may be used for an extra seal, though the gaskets are designed for a tight fit.

1. Step 1: Insert the upper part of the drain into the sink hole from above. Ensure the top gasket is properly seated against the sink surface.
2. Step 2: From underneath the sink, slide the lower gasket onto the drain body, followed by the fixing nut.
3. Step 3: Hand-tighten the fixing nut firmly against the underside of the sink. No tools are typically required for this step.
4. Step 4: Ensure all connections are snug. Test for leaks by filling the sink with water and observing the drain connections.

4. Operating Instructions

The RUITHOE R-003-N drain features a simple push-to-seal and push-to-open pop-up mechanism.

• To Close the Drain: Gently press the top of the drain stopper down until it clicks into the closed position. This will seal the drain, allowing the sink to fill with water.
• To Open the Drain: Press the top of the drain stopper again. It will pop up, opening the drain for water to flow out.

3. Rinse: Rinse the stopper and hair catcher under running water.
