Masking Tape Safety Glasses
Kitchen Silicone Sealant Screwdriver
Hammer
35mm Hole Saw
(for cutting tap hole)
Drill
Jigsaw & Suitable Blade (if
work top cutout is required)
Notes
During installation, take care to protect the sink
from scus and scratches.
Do not stand on the sink.
During installation, do not stand the sink on its
edges or corners. This may cause damage.
Avoid straining and over tightening of all plumbing
xtures connected to the sink.
Carefully check that the moulding and edges of the
sink are dead level so that water will ow o the
drainer.
The clamping brackets are suitable for worktops
of between 30–40 mm thickness (Fig. 1.1). If your
worktop is a dierent size then it may require
packing under the clamps or rebating (Fig. 1.2).
Preparing the Worktop
Marking Out the Opening
We recommend that you t the sink to the worktop before
permanently xing the worktop to the cabinet.
1. Place the sink upside down on the worktop. Position
the sink on the worktop as required. Make sure the
cabinet framework will clear all parts of the sink. Using a
soft, sharp pencil draw around the sink as accurately as
possible (Fig. 1.3). Remove the sink.
2. Draw another line 10 mm inside the sink top outline –
this is the cutting line for the opening (Fig. 1.4).
3. Drill as large a hole as possible inside the cutting line.
Using a pad saw, jigsaw or similar, cut out the opening
up to the cutting line.
Sealing the Edges of the Opening.
We recommend that porous edges around the cut-out are
sealed using a waterproof sealant such as varnish, paint or
wood glue . This will prevent swelling of the worktop should
any small leaks occur (Fig. 1.5).

Preparing the Sink
Tap Hole Preparation
Drilling a pre-marked hole for taps
Before drilling please read safety instructions
supplied with hole saw.
The front face must be fully supported to prevent
cracking when drilling or cutting.
WARNING!
Any machining operation will produce ne particles
of dust. Drilling or cutting MUST be carried out in a
well-ventilated area.
1. Identify which pre marked tap hole(s) you will require.
2. Using a hole saw, drill out the tap hole part way from
the underside of the sink Fig. 1.6. Finish drilling the hole
from the upper surface of the sink to ensure a clean
hole.
3. It may be necessary to cool the tip of the drill with water
to prevent burning. For this reason we recommend the
use of a rechargeable drill. Take special care if using a
mains electric drill around water.
4. Attach the tap, waste and overow (where required) to
the sink according to the manufacturer’s Instructions.
Applying the Silicon Sealant
DO NOT use Epoxi sealant or Epoxi adhesive.
Apply a bead of “Silicone sealant”(not included) to the
underside of the sink ange. For nal t, make sure each sink
clip is pulled back as shown in Fig. 1.7. Position the sink into
the work top opening.
Secure the sink by pivoting the sink clips into the position
Fig. 1.8 and tighten screws in the front, then tighten rear and
side screws.
Waste Fittings
Fit the waste ttings to the sink using the instructions
supplied with them. Apply a uniform bead of silicone onto
the underside of the rim of the sink, 1/4 inch from the outer
edges of the rim.
Fitting the Sink
1. Turn the sink upside down and lay the worktop over
the sink. Swing each clip into place – this is the most
eective method, although if the worktop has been
tted to the cabinet the sink can be placed in the
opening and xed in position from underneath.
2. Centre the sink. Tighten the xing screws in the
sequence shown in Fig. 1.9.
DO NOT TIGHTEN FULLY AT FIRST ATTEMPT.
3. Remove any surplus sealing material or wipe away any
excess sealant.
Check for Leaks:
• Supply user tubes to faucet
• Supply riser tubes to shut o valves or lower connections
• Fill sink with water and check for leak around drain
• Release water from sink and check for possible leaks
• Tighten a s needed
Drill starter hole from bottom.
Finish drilling hole from top.

After Care
Day-to-day care
Although your sink is made from extremely durable materials
and will withstand a great deal of hard use, it can be
scratched by hard or sharp objects. If the surfaces are to be
kept in a blemish free condition reasonable care should be
taken when handling such items.
DO NOT USE THE DRAINER AS A CHOPPING BOARD.
Cleaning
Wash your sink using warm water, a soft cloth or non‐
abrasive woven nylon pad and a non‐ abrasive liquid cleaner
or detergent. This can be done as often as the sink is used.
Metallic Abrasions or Heavy Stains:
Wipe the sink using a soft cloth or non –abrasive woven nylon
pad and a liquid scouring product. Apply the liquid scouring
product sparingly and rub lightly. Repeat as necessary until
sink is clean.
Hard Water, Calcium and Lime Deposits:
Wipe with a non‐ Abrasive woven nylon pad and white
vinegar. Rinse after 20 minutes.
Please refer to www.rangemaster.co.uk for a full guide to
cleaning your sink.
Do not use abrasive cleaning creams or powders,
scrub pads or alkali cleaners such as ammonia,
concentrated caustic soda, formic acid or anything
highly corrosive.
