•
It is recommended that a technically competent installer undertakes installation.
•
It is the installer
’s responsibility to carry out a thorough assessment of the installation
environment (i.e. wall type/structure and the combined weight of the cabinet and basin) and
use appropriate fixings.
•
Care should be taken when drilling to avoid any hidden wires or pipes.
•
If the unit/panels are to be trimmed, a fine-toothed saw should be used. Ensure that the room
is well ventilated and that any cut edges are sealed with PVA glue or silicone sealant to
prevent water ingression.
Installation
Secure the unit to the wall by drilling through the back rail and using
suitable fixings for the wall type.
When fitting the basin support shelf, ensure that the white side is
facing upwards and the small cut-out is to the front of the unit.
Loosen the screws in the stretcher backets Place the basin onto
the support shelf. With a spirit level on the basin, adjust the position
of the shelf so that there is a 10mm gap above the gables. Once
levelled, retighten the screws and adan extra screw in each stretcher
bracket. Apply a bead of silicone to the top fce of the abins and the
gables before fitting the worktop in position. Allow 24 hours before
use for the silicone to fully cure.
Infill panel
There is the option to fit a supplied infill panel. This should be secured
in place using double-sided tape (not supplied) or fixed in place with
screws. Ensure that the length of screw is suitable for the thickness of
the infill panel and the cabinet legs.
Care & Maintenance
Furniture should be regularly dusted with a soft cotton or micro-fibre
cloth. For more thorough cleaning, occasionally wipe your furniture
with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Surfaces
should be thoroughly dried with a lint free cloth to prevent watermarks.
Under no circumstances should solvent cleaning agents, bleach or
abrasive cleaning agents or cloths be used. Spills should be removed
immediately using a clean cloth. All bathroom furniture will deteriorate
through prolonged periods of exposure to high levels of condensation
so bathrooms must be adequately ventilated using suitable extraction.
Failure to ensure adequate ventilation may invalidate your guarantee.
