Sink Care, Maintenance and Assembly Instructions
Your sink is made of the finest quality stainless steel (CrNi 18/10), DIN1.4301 or AISI 304 (suitable for
food contact).
Keep you sink looking as good as new by following the care and maintenance instructions.
Instructions
For everyday cleaning of the sink, use household detergents suitable for stainless steel.
After each use, rinse the sink with warm water then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use wire wool.
Do not use chemical ‘silver cleaners’, bleaches or detergents containing chlorine or any of its derivitives.
Warning!
If the sink comes into contact with acidic materials, rinse immediately with plenty of water and wipe with
a soft, dry cloth.
Do not leave rusty objects in contact with the sink. Rust can cause staining, cracking or even
permanent damage to the sink surface.
To avoid staining of the surface do not leave food or other materials with corrosive properties such as
juices, salt, vinegar, mustard etc. on the sink for a long time.
Do not place very hot objects directly on the sink. Place them on a special surface (board) made from
wood or plastic etc.
Avoid scraping the sink basin or draining board with utensils.
Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects onto the sink surface.
Fit the seal tape
Adhere the seal tape
around the underside of
the edge of the sink,
being careful to lay it
smoothly (without
ridges).
Step 25
Fit the anchor braces
Place the anchor braces
vertically and pull them
up to lock into their
horizontal position.
Also refer to step 27.
.

Step 26
NOTE: Do not attach
the anchor brace which
will be positioned at the
front middle of the unit.

Assembly is complete
Warning: The
unit is heavy.
Lift with care.
Secure the sink to the
top.
These anchor braces are
designed for use with
counter tops 30-40mm
thick (a).
If your counter top is
thinner, you may need to
insert wooden wedges
between the counter top
and the braces so as to
secure them (b).
After placing two at each
corner of the sink, place
the rest evenly spaced
around the perimeter of
the sink.
It is advisable to screw
the wooden wedges into
the underside of the
counter top to avoid any
movement when
tightening the anchor
braces. Please take care
that the length of the
screw used is 5mm less
than the counter top and
wooden wedge put
together.
Tighten the screws of the
anchor braces (with a
hand screwdriver), to
secure the sink in place.
If you are unsure about
plumbing, please
consult a qualified
plumber.

Drill these 2 holes if you
have fitted the hinges
to the right side.
Drill the handle holes
in the door
Important: Please follow
these instructions
carefully.
Lay the door down
onto a smooth surface.
Important: Carefully
choose which holes you
need to drill.
This will depend on
which side you fitted
the hinge plates .
Check that the holes and
hinges are in the same
place as the diagrams.
Note: We recommend
the use of a small piece
of waste wood, placed
behind the hole while
drilling, to reduce the
possibility of any
breakout.
Using the pilot hole in
the rear face of the door,
. drill through the
holes indicated opposite,
using a 2.5mm diameter
drill.
Turn the door over
and open out the 2.5mm
holes that you have just
drilled by drilling back
through them with a
5mm drill.

Step 12
Fit doors and handles
2 people are needed
here
Note: The easiest way to
attach the door is to
fit the top hinge first,
then align and fit the
other hinges.
a: Push the hinge
onto the front part of the
hinge plate .
b: Keep the hinge
FLAT against the hinge
plate as you slide it
across as far as it will go.
Tighten screw A.
c: The hinge must be
flat against the hinge
plate prior to any
adjustment.
d: The hinge must
NOT be AT AN ANGLE
to the hinge plate
when assembled.
This would indicate that
the recess at the bottom
of screw B had not
located in the slot in the
hinge plate and the hinge
would not be secure.
Remove the hinge from
the hinge plate and then
re-assemble being
careful to follow
instructions a-c.
e: Attach a handle
to the door using 2
screws .
