IMPORTANT!
•
If you are mounting your sink into a granite or marble
worktop you must have a fabricator cut the hole for you.
•
Due to dimensional tolerances within all ceramic sinks
these instructions should be used as guidelines only.
•
The position of your sink will be determined by the
relationship of the sink edges to cabinet gables,
supports and tap location.
•
Ensure current plumbing fixtures are long enough to
reach the new sink and it’s location.
•
If unsure of fitting your sink we recommend seeking
the advice of a professional fitter. Rangemaster will
not accept responsibility for errors in countertop
preparation or installation.
Preparation
1.
Take great care when handling this sink, whilst every
effort has been taken to remove sharp edges, the
material by nature may be sharp. We recommend
wearing gloves accordingly.
DO NOT
lift the product
by the waste hole(s) or tap hole(s). We recommend 2
people should be used to handle this product.
2.
Check the package for completeness, possible
defects or any transport damage before installation
commences. Installed faulty product will not be
honoured by the warranty.
3.
Check that the supporting carcass and worktop is level
left to right and front to back to ensure correct drainage
of water.
4.
Check that the surrounding furniture is the correct size
and shape to accept this product and that no plumbing
or wiring may foul the installation.
5.
If replacing an existing sink, remove this product and
clean the surrounding area, ensure the new sink will suit
the existing cut out size and position, otherwise amend
the cut out size accordingly.
6.
Before creating the cut out in the worktop, carefully
plan the positioning of the sink. Ensure that the position
of the bowl(s), tap and overflows will not interfere with
surrounding units or appliances. Check that the fixing
clips will not foul carcass walls or supporting braces.
7.
Carefully mark out the cut out using the provided
technical drawing or template for either the
undermount installation or inset installation. Create the
sink cut out in the worktop using a router or CNC cutter,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions taking care not to
chip, crack or scratch the worktop. If preparing the cut
out in situ cover any open pipework to avoid any debris
contaminating the water supply feeds.
8.
All ceramic products should be supported under the
reverse face with a substantial braced shelf similar (
Fig.
1.2
). The shelf should be designed to allow for small
adjustments in height at each corner and so that it
could be disassembled from the underside in the event
that the sink is accidentally damaged.
