Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully for proper installation of your wall-mounted ceramic basin:

1. Preparation: Turn off the main water supply. Clear the installation area. Ensure you have all necessary tools (drill, level, tape measure, wrench, silicone sealant, etc.) and additional plumbing components (faucet, drain, P-trap, water supply lines).
2. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove the basin from its packaging. Inspect it for any signs of damage. If damaged, do not proceed with installation and contact customer support.
3. Determine Mounting Height: Decide on the desired height for your basin. Standard height for the rim is typically 80-85 cm (31-33 inches) from the floor, but adjust according to user preference and local regulations.
4. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the basin against the wall at the desired height and use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the positions for the mounting screws on the wall. Refer to the dimensions diagram in the Specifications section for accurate measurements.
5. Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type, drill holes at the marked points. Insert suitable wall anchors into the drilled holes.
6. Mount the Basin: Carefully align the basin with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the provided mounting screws. Tighten the screws firmly but do not overtighten, as this can damage the ceramic.

7. Install Faucet: Install your chosen faucet into the designated hole on the right side of the basin according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions.
8. Install Drain and P-trap: Install the drain assembly into the basin's drain hole. Connect the P-trap to the drain and the wall drain pipe, ensuring all connections are hand-tightened and then secured with a wrench.
9. Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet's inlets and the corresponding shut-off valves on the wall.
10. Seal Edges: Apply a bead of silicone sealant along the back edge of the basin where it meets the wall to prevent water from seeping behind the unit. Allow the sealant to cure as per manufacturer instructions.
11. Test for Leaks: Once all connections are made and sealant has cured, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for any leaks. Tighten connections as needed.

Operating Instructions

Operating your HOROW ceramic basin is straightforward:

• Turn the faucet handle to activate water flow.
• Adjust the faucet handle to achieve the desired water temperature and flow rate.
• The basin features an overflow hole to prevent water from spilling over the rim if the drain is closed and the faucet is left running. However, it is not a substitute for monitoring water levels.

Maintenance and Cleaning

To maintain the pristine appearance and functionality of your HOROW ceramic basin, follow these cleaning and maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the basin regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. The multi-layer glaze with nano-coating ensures easy care and hygienic cleanliness.
• Prevent Water Spots: Wipe the basin dry after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup, especially in hard water areas.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, strong acids, or alkaline detergents, as these can damage the ceramic surface and its glaze.
• Scratch Resistance: The basin is fired at 1280 °C, providing high hardness and scratch resistance. However, avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the basin to prevent chipping or cracking.
• Drain Maintenance: Periodically remove and clean the drain stopper to prevent hair and debris buildup, which can cause slow drainage.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Leaks around connections:
  • Ensure all plumbing connections (faucet, drain, supply lines) are tightened properly.
  • Check for worn-out washers or O-rings and replace if necessary.
  • Verify that silicone sealant around the basin's edge is intact and properly applied.
• Slow drainage:
  • The P-trap or drain assembly may be clogged with hair or debris. Remove and clean the P-trap.
  • Ensure the drain stopper is fully open.
• Water spots or mineral buildup:
  • Regularly wipe the basin dry after use.
  • Use a mild descaling solution specifically designed for bathroom fixtures, following product instructions.
