Important Technical Data
Whilst every effort has been made to make these instructions comprehensive they may not be exhaustive, we
strongly recommend that this product is installed by a skilled professional. This will ensure the best possible
finished installation.
This product is made from high quality fireclay for the greatest possible durability, after the end of the lifecycle
of this product it should be disposed of responsibly. Please be aware that fireclay is a natural material therefore
variations in size, flatness and finish should be expected
Earth bonding: under current IEE regulations there is no statutory requirement to earth bond sinks as most new
wiring installations are protected with an RCD. If you are unsure if your wiring is protected by an RCD, contact a
qualified electrician.
Maximum tempe300°C* Note: If this temperature is exceeded, even for short periods, damage to the
finish can result.
Waste disposers should be mounted in such a way that the weight of the unit is supported by the kitchen
cabinet carcass, not just the sink. Faulty or damaged waste disposal units can cause vibration – this will
damage the sink and can loosen connecting pipework or fixings causing water leaks. Because the waste size is
smaller than 90mm an adaptor collar will be required.
All Abode products are designed in accordance with recognised European or global standards. Please ensure
that your Abode product is fitted in accordance with localised legislation.
The installation should be periodically checked for damage to water sealing parts as described in the
instructions to avoid accidental water damage.

Care Instructions for your Kitchen Sink
To maintain the appearance of this product, ensure that it is regularly cleaned using only a clean, soft damp
cloth. A solution of warm water and a mild liquid non-antibacterial detergent may be used where necessary,
and then the product rinsed thoroughly and wiped dry. Any other cleaning action will invalidate your warranty.
No household or industrial chemicals should come into contact with this product to prevent damage.
To prevent staining or discolouration of the product always rinse the sink with water after use, if you live in a
hard water area we suggest you also wipe the sink dry.
Do not cut, slice or chop directly onto the sink as you may mark the surface finish. Avoid the use of plastic
washing up bowls as engrained grit on the bowl underside may mark the surface finish. Avoid impacting the
product with sharp or heavy objects, such as knives, pans or cooking pots and also avoid contact with
abrasives. No hot objects should be placed directly onto the sink surface. Avoid contact with cycles of very hot
and cold substances.
