Important Note
These fitting instructions refer to fitting Utopia Furniture to a solid wall. If your bathroom has
studded walls, please use appropriate plasterboard
fixings such as the ones illustrated here, available
from DIY stores throughout the UK.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE COMMENCING WORK
All units are packed together with a relevant fitting pack and are identified by a label which appears on the front of the box and the rear of the unit.
It is advised that fitting commences from a corner wherever possible, ensuring correct spacing should a corner filler be used.
It is also advised that all doors and fascias are removed prior to fitting to avoid unnecessary damage occurring.
Please note that some of Utopia’s units, sanitaryware and worktops are heavy. Always take care when lifting, and follow health and safety guidelines.

Base Units
FITTING BASE UNITS AND TALL BASE UNITS
NOTE: SHOULD THE FLOOR BE UNLEVEL AND YOU WISH TO LOWER THE PLINTH HEIGHT FROM 175mm YOU WILL NEED TO CUT THE LEGS TO THE REQUIRED HEIGHT (REMOVING UNWANTED MATERIAL FROM THE TOP) BEFORE FITTING THEM TO THE BASE OF THE UNIT
Attach the plastic legs by pushing them into the sockets on the underside of the unit. It is advised to give the base of the leg a slight tap with a hammer to ensure a good connection in the socket (see g 1).
Adjust the leg to approximately the correct height of 175mm (see g 2). Having ensured all relevant pipework is completed, position the unit on its legs against the wall. Adjust the legs if necessary to ensure the unit sits level in both directions by using a spirit level on all sides (see g 3).
Maintain the plinth height of 175mm as near to the optimum as possible.
Once the unit has been positioned level, remove the back (if applicable) and fix the unit to the wall via the back rail or stretcher plates (see g 4). If you are attaching this unit to a plasterboard wall please ensure that you use the correct fixings.
Once all units are in place they can be joined together by means of drilling and screwing through adjacent side panels. We suggest making fixing less obvious by drilling behind hinges or loose shelves (see g 5). Once all the units are securely fixed, ensure that all the back panels that were removed earlier are slid back into position before proceeding further.
Please note that many back panels are double-sided and have a different finish on either side. Always check that you slide the panel in with the correct finish facing forwards before the worktops are fitted (see g 5).
Please Note
When fitting a base unit for a Short Projection Solid Surface basin, the back rail has a gap to allow the inset basin to fit nearer the wall. Fix this unit to the wall through the side cheeks of the back rail, A & B. This will also assist in supporting the worktop (see g 6).
BASE UNITS AND DRAWER PACKS
This unit should be fitted the same way as a normal base unit. Please note drawer packs do not have 8mm slide-in backs, this allows easy access to the top rail for fitting purposes.
If your unit is to be wall hung, please refer to the section ‘fitting a wall hung base unit’ on page 4.
Important
Check all products before fitting.
Do not fit any defective products, contact your supplier immediately.
Utopia Bathroom Group assumes that this/these product/s will be fitted by an experienced and competent installer. Failure to do so will result in the invalidation of Utopia’s guarantee.
Under our policy of improvement we reserve the right to alter materials or specification in line with our continuing programme of product and service development.

FITTING WALL HUNG BASE UNITS AND WALL UNITS
Units should be fitted by professional installers.
All base units whether with legs or wall-hung come complete with leg sockets fitted for transit purposes. If the units are to be installed wall-hung, please remove these sockets prior to fixing. To do this, insert a small flat headed screwdriver into the centre section and carefully lever out the centre pin. The bracket can now be easily removed (see g 1).
It is advised that a line is now drawn along the length of the wall, level with where the units are to be fitted at the desired height above floor level. If the space between the floor and the unit is to be 175mm then the line shown as x (see g 2) should be drawn to suit the unit being fitted.
Wall hanging brackets need to be fixed to the carcass when they are sold separately. The brackets should be fixed the correct way up by knocking four prongs into the holes at the rear of the carcass. Ensure that the securing pin is knocked into place, (see g 3).
Fix the brackets to the wall with appropriate plugs and screws for your wall type (not supplied).
The units then simply hook onto the wall fixed brackets. Adjustment to gain a level surface is as follows,
A - Adjust this to pull the cabinet into the wall
B - Adjust this to move the cabinets up or down (see g 3);
Pull the cabinets tightly in against the wall using the adjustment screws on brackets. It is important to ensure you have sufficient support for the weight of pottery and unit plus contents when fitting wall hung units.
Once all units are in place they can be joined together by means of drilling and screwing through adjacent side panels. We suggest making fixing less obvious by drilling behind hinges and/or loose shelves, (see g 4).
A securing screw should then be fitted through the back of the unit, through the fixed back rail of the cabinet and into the wall on a base unit, this will help to stabilise the unit
(see g 5 point 4).
Now that all the units are securely fixed, ensure that all the back panels that were removed earlier are slid back into position before proceeding further. Please note that many back panels are double-sided and therefore have a different finish on either side. Always check that you slide the panel in with the correct finish facing forwards, (see g 4).
For all units with a fixed back panel we advise that you drill a 10mm hole through the back panel and then fit a stabilising screw though the back rail of the cabinet into the wall. The 10mm hole can be covered with one of the caps supplied or if positioned appropriately, by the loose shelf of the unit, when applicable (see g 6).

ADJUSTING A SOFT CLOSE DRAWER BOX
Drawer boxes are factory installed and should not need to be adjusted. However, if adjustment is required, pull the drawer box out and remove the Utopia branded plastic cover cap. This will reveal the two adjustment screws. Use one of the screws to raise and lower the drawer box (see g 1 A) and the other (see g 1 B) to move it, left and right.
Large drawer units have a fixing bracket, located in the centre of the drawer box on the underside, that needs to be slackened off before adjustment and re-tightened after.
If you need to remove a drawer box, lift up and away from the drawer runners.
To replace the drawer box, fully extend the drawer runners, place the drawer box onto them and close the drawer. The box will clip itself in to place upon closing (see g 2).
To remove drawer front from the side turn screw (see g 1 C).

FITTING A PLINTH
Cut the plinth to the required length. If you are using a Plinth Return to go around a 90° corner, reduce the overall length by 20mm to accommodate the corner piece.
On the reverse of the plinth mark the position of the cabinet legs in order to fix the leg plates and cups. Fix with number 6 x 5/8 screws.
Push the plinth complete with clips onto the legs (see g 3).
Alternatively;
As another option to wall hanging or fitting the plinth on the front legs of the cabinet, you can remove the front legs and the plinth may be fitted to the rear legs only, (see g 4).
Please Note
Before fitting always check that you have identified the correct finish side of the plinth.
Plinth Returns can be used to take a plinth round an internal (see g 4) or an external (see
g 5) corner.

WC FASCIA CUT OUTS
When fitting a WC it may be necessary to cut the bottom fascia to accommodate both the soil pipe and flush pipe. Use the pottery as a template (see g 1, 4 and 5).
NOTE: Wall-hung WC pottery should not be screwed directly to the fascias as the WC units are not load carrying.
Wall-hung pottery needs a steel supporting frame which has two large bolts that need to be accommodated within the fascia panel. The plinth must also be cut to accommodate the soil pipe (see g 2) if applicable.
You may have to remove one of the rear legs of this unit to accommodate the waste pipe.
For aesthetic looks a pan return should be used to act as a filler between the front of the plinth (if applicable) and the back of the WC pan (see g 3). To ensure a good fit, screw through the back of the plinth into the pan return (see g 6).
Re-seal all cut edges.

FITTING WALL CABINETS, DELUXE MIRROR UNITS, DOUBLE FULL MIRROR UNITS, WALL CABINETS, OPEN SHELF UNITS AND QUBE MIRROR CABINET
Wall cabinet hanging brackets are supplied with the unit.
It is advised that a line is drawn along the length of the wall, level with where the units are to be fitted at the desired height above floor level. If tall units or tall sit on units are to be used, these will determine the height of line x, i.e. the top of the unit being 1955mm if a 175mm plinth is to be used (see g 1).
If you are attaching this unit to a plasterboard wall please ensure that you use the correct fixings.
The units then simply hook onto the wall fixed brackets. Adjust to gain a level top edge using the adjustment screws - (see g 2). Also see instructions on page 4 (g 2. and 3).
A securing screw should be placed at the back of the unit to stabilise it. The screw should be located through the fixed back rail at the back of the cabinet (see g 6 point A).
Once the units are in place they can be joined together (see g 3).
Once the unit has been levelled and pulled against the wall, fix conceal cover over adjustment hole in back of unit with 10mm. Cover caps supplied.
To fit mirror doors please refer to the section on fitting a mirror door on page 9.
FITTING THE LIGHTING UNIT
These units come with a transformer pre-installed that will power one extra light to the two supplied with the unit, and the shaver socket.
If more than three lights are required, additional transformers must be added. These will fit next to the existing transformer at the top of the unit, provided that the top of the unit is cut to accommodate the transformer. Should the transformer be fitted with a 13 amp plug this must be removed.
ACCESS AND REMOVAL OF TRANSFORMERS AND FRONT FASCIA
Carefully remove the fascia from the front of the unit and access the transformer (see g 4).

MIRROR CABINET HANDLE FITTING
Please ensure all components are fitted in accordance with the diagram (see g 1).
Please fit hand tight only using a manual screwdriver. Do not overtighten as this may cause damage to the mirror door.
DOOR ADJUSTMENT
When adjustment is necessary to the doors, follow these directions (see g 2):
W - Lift this clip to release the door from the carcass
X - Adjusts the door’s horizontal position
Y - Adjusts the door’s vertical position
Z - Adjusts the door’s vertical position or this screw being in the hinge fixing plate.
FITTING A MIRROR DOOR ON TO A UNIT
Remove the hinges from the units by lifting the tab underneath the hinge indicated by position W (see g 2).
Place the hinges on to the glass doors by locating them in to their housing (see g 3 B) and rotating them forward until they lock in to place.
We advise that the hinge plates fitted are loosened off to allow easy fitting of the door.
Align the door back up to the unit and clip the hinges back in to place on the unit (see g
4).
On full mirror units please ensure when fitting the mirror there is no misalignment with the three mirror hinges to reduce the risk of stress upon the hinge and glass.
Once the door is in the correct position re-tighten the hinge plates to the cabinets and carry out final adjustment (see g 2).
To remove the hinge from a glass door (see g 5).
a. Insert a small flat headed screwdriver underneath the release catch situated inside the hinge.
b. Rotate the blade of the screwdriver through 90º.
c. Close the hinge, releasing it from the bracket.
It is vitally important that all doors are adjusted correctly, as over a period of time the stresses caused by misalignment can result in failure of the bond between the hinge plate and the glass surface, and your guarantee will become invalid.
SOFT CLOSE HINGE MECHANISM, REMOVAL AND RE-FITTING
1. This is supplied ready fitted to one of the hinges on the unit. Remove this to gain access
to the hinge adjustment screws by sliding the soft close mechanism off the hinge, towards
the door, as shown in diagram (see g 6).

FITTING WALL-HUNG BASE UNITS AND WALL UNITS
Wall hanging brackets need to be fixed to the carcass if supplied separately. The brackets should be fixed the correct way up by knocking four prongs into the holes at the rear of the carcass. Ensure that the securing pin is knocked into place, (see g 1).
Draw a line along the length of the wall, level with where the units are to be fitted at the desired height x (see g 2).
Fix the brackets to the wall with appropriate plugs and screws for your wall type (not supplied).
The units then simply hook onto the wall fixed brackets. Adjustment to gain a level surface is as follows,
A - Adjust this to pull the cabinet into the wall
B - Adjust this to move the cabinets up or down (see g 1);
Pull the cabinets tightly in against the wall using the adjustment screws on brackets. It is important to ensure you have sufficient support for the weight of pottery and unit plus contents when fitting wall hung units.
Once all units are in place they can be joined together by means of drilling and screwing through adjacent side panels. We suggest making fixing less obvious by drilling behind hinges and/or loose shelves, (see g 3).
A securing screw should then be fitted through the back of the unit, through the fixed back rail of the cabinet (where available) and into the wall, this will help to stabilise the unit,
(see g 3).
Now that all the units are securely fixed, ensure that all the back panels that were removed earlier are slid back into position before proceeding further, (see g 3). Please note that many back panels are double-sided and therefore have a different finish on either side. Always check that you slide the panel in with the correct finish facing forwards.
For all units with a fixed back panel we advise that you drill a 10mm hole through the back panel and then fit a stabilising screw though the back rail of the cabinet into the wall. The 10mm hole can be covered with one of the caps supplied or if positioned appropriately, by the loose shelf of the unit, when applicable (see g 4).
Handles for wall units are to be fitted by the installer on location according to the customers requirements.
Units should be fitted by professional installers.

FITTING THE MODULAR SQUARE PROFILE LAMINATE WORKTOPS - 1006MM, 1206MM, 1606MM LENGTH
Note: Utopia as standard provides 2 brackets with each 1006mm, 1206mm and 1606mm worktop purchased separately to cover any possible installation. Dependent upon installation arrangement and number of worktops used, you may find that some brackets are not required.
If you are installing a fascia box and/or drawer unit along with the worktop(s) (see g 1) and refer to page 14 of these instructions.
50MM LAMINATE WORKTOPS
Use the Nylon Sleeve Insert, specially designed for use with 50mm laminate worktops, when fitting a worktop mounted tap.
Drill a small pilot hole at the centre of tap position.
Drill part way from under side a hole of 52-54mm Diameter (see g 3). Then drill a 35mm hole from the top which will accommodate your tap. Insert the nylon sleeve. Use a quality silicon seal around both hole cuts and insert sleeve and fit tap.
INSTALLATION OF A WORKTOP ON ITS OWN OR AS THE LOWER WORKTOP OPTION SEEN IN FIG. 1
Work out the desired height on the wall of the shelf location and mark out where the brackets are going to be. We advise that the brackets are set approximately 300mm in from the ends of the shelf (see g 2).
Making sure the brackets will be level, screw the brackets to the wall using suitable fixings.
BASIN WASTE RECOMMENDATION
A standard 32mm P trap or bottle trap can be accommodated in all washbasin unit installations. An in-line trap, or an extendable waste connector can be accommodated in all washbasins.
ADJUSTING A SOFT CLOSE DRAWER BOX
Drawer boxes are factory installed and should not need to be adjusted. However, if adjustment is required, pull the drawer box out and remove the Utopia branded plastic cap. This will reveal the two adjustment screws. Use one of the screws to raise and lower the drawer box (see g 4 A) and the other (see g 4 B) to move it left and right.
Large drawer units have a fixing bracket, located in the centre of the drawer box on the underside, that needs to be slackened off before adjustment and re-tightened after.
If you need to remove a drawer box, lift up and away from the drawer runners.
To replace the drawer box, fully extend the drawer runners, place the drawer box onto them and close the drawer. The box will clip itself in to place upon closing (see g 5).
To remove drawer front from the side turn screw (see g 4 C).

i-LINE 50MM SIDE PANELS WITH FITTED FURNITURE
50mm tops and sides are fitted flush with the back of the units with almost no overhang around the sides and to the front fascia.
See pages 3 and 4 for installing base units.
There are two ways of installing 50mm side panels with fitted furniture.
1. With a 50mm side panel and an internal filler panel (see g 1)
Or
2. With an external filler panel and 50mm side panel (see g 2)
FITTING 50MM SIDE PANELS WITH AN INTERNAL FILLER PANEL AGAINST A WALL
Measure the filler panel and cut to the required width. Should the wall be out of square ­reduce the depth of the 50mm side panel to allow for installation (see g 3 A).
Screw a block to the back of the filler panel and screw the 50mm side panel to the cut edge of the filler panel (see g 3 B)
Slide all 3 parts into position (see g 3 C) and secure by screwing through the base unit D.

The frameless mirror is held onto the backboard with an integrated 50mm side panel with two keyhole grommets. Remove the mirror by carefully lifting it up and away from the back­board and put to one side.
Put the Backboard into position and fix to the wall using appropriate fixings, (see g 1).
Replace the mirror onto the backboard before fixing the 50mm flyover panel.
Screw the 50mm side panel near the front through the top and bottom panels using 3” screws and cover caps (supplied), (see g 2) and (see g 2A).
FITTING SUGGESTION
To help fitting we suggest that you fit i-Line wall configurations in the following order:
1. Wall units and 50mm side panel (see g 3 A).
2. 50mm i-Line shelf that runs under the units (see g 3 B).
3. i-Line mirror unit with 50mm side panel (see g 3 C).
4. 50mm i-Line flyover that runs over the units (see g 3 D).
I-LINE MODULAR UNITS
See page 14 for the fitting of wall hung modular units.
Twin units will need to be screwed together. The 50mm x 100mm base rail is screwed from the under side of the units with the 2 ½” screws supplied. Use the 1 ¼” screws to fix into the 50mm side panels. The 1” screws are to screw the two units together. All screws can now be capped. FIx the worktop in the usual manner.

Symmetry Furniture
FITTING SYMMETRY MODULAR BASE UNITS AND FITTED/FREESTANDING BASE UNITS
It is advised that a line is drawn along the length of the wall, level with where the units are to be fitted at the desired height above floor level. The space between the floor and the unit is 175mm when using a plinth or as required for a modular unit. Draw the line shown as x (see g 1) onto the wall.
Fix the brackets to the wall with appropriate plugs and screws for your wall type (not supplied).
The units then simply hook onto the wall fixed brackets. Adjustment to gain a level surface is as follows,
A - Adjust this to pull the cabinet into the wall
B - Adjust this to move the cabinets up or down (see g 2);
Pull the cabinets tightly in against the wall using the adjustment screws on brackets. It is important to ensure you have sufficient support for the weight of pottery and unit plus contents when fitting wall hung units.
Once all units are in place they can be joined together by means of drilling and screwing through adjacent side panels. We suggest making fixing less obvious by drilling behind hinges and/or loose shelves, (see g 3).
A securing screw should then be fitted through the back of the unit, through the fixed back rail of the cabinet and into the wall on a base unit, this will help to stabilise the unit
(see g 5 point 4).

Symmetry Furniture
All units are fitted with extra leg sockets during manufacture. When installed next to a WC unit a straight plinth is supplied (see g 1) so you will need to remove the leg sockets from the front curve of the unit before installation. To do this, insert a small flat-headed screwdriver into the centre section and carefully lever out the centre pin. The bracket can now be easily removed (see g 2). Refer to page 6 for WC unit installation instructions.
DECORATIVE END PANELS
Decorative end panels are attached by drilling pilot holes and are fixed with the screws provided from inside the cabinet into the side panel. We suggest making fixing less obvious by drilling behind hinges and/or loose shelves.
Decorative end panels are supplied with 8mm locating dowels which when pushed into the predrilled holes will locate with the unit being installed, with the exception of a WC unit and any Symmetry unit that has a decorative panel adjacent to the side wall (see fig 6).
Should this unit be fitted into an alcove always install the washbasin unit first ensuring that units decorative side panel is fitted against the side wall. If the wall is out of square and narrower at the back, cut the decorative side panel down to allow the front to meet the side wall. The filler panel would then be fitted between the WC units decorative panel and the opposite side wall. The worktop will need to be trimmed from the WC end to allow for fitting.
FITTING SIDE PANELS WITH AN EXTERNAL FILLER PANEL
Measure and mark the filler panel cut to the required width. Screw the filler panel to the 16mm side panel (see g 3 A).
Slide both parts into position (see g 3) and secure by screwing through the base unit - (see g
3 B).
FITTING SYMMETRY PLINTHS
Insert one end of the plinth into the groove of the side panel. Carefully bend around the unit legs and ease into the groove on the opposite side panel.
Please note that Symmetry WC units have a standard plinth arrangement. Please refer to page 6 for fitting instructions.
PLINTH LIGHTING
THESE SHOULD BE FITTED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
LED plinth lights are fitted either around the top of the flexible plinth (see g 4), or under the base of the unit (see g 5). Transformers etc. can be concealed behind the plinth or at the back of the unit.

TRADITIONAL BASE UNITS
The base unit comes in two parts.
Base unit assembled (see g 1).
Worktop and Basin come separately.
1. Place and fix base unit into position (see g 1).
2. When fitting the basin support shelf always make sure the white side is facing upwards
and the small cut out is to the front of the unit as the overflow on the basin is at the front. Place the basin into the support shelf, which will need to be adjusted to level the basin with the unit (see g 5). Place a spirit level across the basin and a space of 10mm will be needed at each side panel. To adjust this slacken off the screws in the stretcher bracket, this allows the shelf and basin to be levelled (see g 4). NOTE :- if the basin protrudes above the 10mm at the gable ends it risks damaging the worktop when fitted.
Once the shelf has been levelled, fix the shelf permanently into place by placing a 2nd screw into the horizontal slot on the stretcher bracket (see g 6).
Place the basin into the shelf apply a bead of silicone to the top face of the basin and to the top of the gable ends (g 7). We suggest fitting your tap to the worktop before placing the worktop on top of the unit and wipe clean any excess silicon as required.
TRADITIONAL MIRROR
Refer to page 11 for fitting instructions on how to fit a mirror
WWW.UTOPIAGROUP.COM
page 26
This range of furniture is supplied assembled and can be placed in position for installation to start. Any electrical work must be completed by a qualified electrician. Mirror transformers could be set into the wall plaster behind the mirror, or in the recess on top of the unit keeping it to the back.
Should the plinth panels supplied be required, by turning the unit upside down these can be screwed into the back of the unit legs.
The wall and mirror units will be fitted using the wall hanging fittings found behind the back panel. (See page 8. & 11). Tall units and intermediate high units are also fitted with wall hangers. When a fixed back is fitted to a cupboard a stabilising screw into the wall near the base which will ensure the unit stays tight against the wall.
In some floorstanding units a stretcher plate can be used to support the unit sides, also a fixing through the back top rail into the wall. (See g 4, page 3).
Worktops are held with stretcher plates or silicone, locate the top position and fix as needed. Solid surface tops with an under slung ceramic basin have a supporting shelf which will need to be levelled and fixed. (See g 1-7, page 27).
Drawer box removing and adjusting. (See page 5).
Door removing and adjusting. (See page 9).
Bath panels come complete should the plinth panels supplied be required these can be screwed to the back of each panel before panels are fitted. End panels can be fixed with stretcher plates (see page 29).
Bath side panel can be pushed into place using keku clips (see g 3, page 29).

Please note:
The bath being fitted must have a wooden batten fitted under the bath rim to hold the bath panel clips. In the event that the bath being fitted does not have any timber for these clips, the installer will need to fit timber under the bath rim as necessary. Depending on tiling, panels may be required to be trimmed to walls.
Bath panels are not supplied with plinth return corner.
Remove all protective film from panels before fixing together. Note in some instances the pre-drilled holes will be covered by the panels finish. These holes will need to be reinstated.
Wall fixings are not supplied - a suitable fixing for the wall must be used by the installer.
All cut panels must be sealed with a high quality silicone sealant.
Baths with a 350mm high panel and fitted plinth – the plinth must line up with the furniture which has a 175mm plinth. When using a 500mm high panel with a plinth, set the height required for the bath being fitted. See page 6 for fitting a plinth. Bath panel plinths are not supplied with plinth returns.
INSTALLATION HELP NOTES
The bath panel top rail is set under the rim of the bath, with the desired amount of rail showing and fixed to the bath timber. All bath panels are fitted under this rail (see g 1)
END PANEL
Important - the End Panel should be fitted before fitting the Side Panel.
When the bath has an end panel, fix this with the ‘L’ brackets to the wall and the timber under the bath rim.
Two black Keku clips can be fitted to the front edge to allow the bath side panel to be removable (see g 2).
SIDE PANEL
The three black Keku clips can be fixed to the timber under the bath rim to give the required finish for the bath panel. The two ‘L’ brackets will be used as stops at the side walls – fit about 300mm from the top of the panel (see g 3).
We suggest panel legs are fixed to the floor, this will avoid sliding when plinth is fitted.

Ensure the under side of this bath rim is fitted at a height which will give the required clearance for the panels and/or a bath end storage unit when fitting. Check that the floor is level so it doesn’t impede the bath end storage unit door.
BATH SIDE PANELS WITH A TOP RAIL.
The top rail should be fitted first around the under side of the bath rim with the desired amount of rail showing and fixed to the timber under the bath rim.
FITTING BATH SIDE PANEL WITH END STORAGE UNIT
Fix the 3 bath side panels together with the blocks and screws provided ensuring there is a 2mm space between each panel (see g 1 A), and the 5mm feet are to the floor, add two self adhesive stops to the top of each panel these afford enough clearance to allow the storage unit door to open freely. The storage unit will be fitted with a 10mm high foot which allows the unit door to clear the floor when opened.
Fit the adjustable foot at the base of the centre panel (see g 1 B), to support the panels. Fit the keku clips as shown (see g 1 C), ensuring that they line up correctly on the top rail and panels. Fix an L bracket to the underside of the top rail (see g 1 D), which will act as a stop. Fit another L bracket to the wall approximately 100mm from the floor level where the back of the side panel final position will be (see g 1 E).
Slide the End Storage unit into position. Do not fix it at this stage.
Slide the assembled panels onto the keku clips until they positively engage.
Adjust the End Storage unit until the door is in the desired position.
The End Storage unit can then be screwed to the top rail from the inside of the unit and fixed to the back wall.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Tap Holes
Warning - For your information and guidance Utopia’s Solid Surface products are not suitable for use in a shower enclosure.
DRILLING FOR TAPS IN THE WORKTOP
Mark the position of the taps on the worktop using the manufacturers recommended guidelines (see g 1).
Drill through the work surface with a hole saw using the marked positions (see g 2).
Sand all raw edges (both the 3mm surface material and the substrate) applying a slight radius and a smooth finish to the edge.
Apply good quality silicone sealant to all sanded surfaces and smooth out to ensure a full even coverage including the tap hole (see g 3).
Fit the taps following the manufacturers instructions.
DRILLING A TAP HOLE IN A MINERALCAST CLOAKROOM WASHBASIN
Choose the location of the tap and mark the centre point of the hole. Drill from the top face ensuring you have space inside the cavity for the tap fittings.
Using a hole saw for cutting tap holes, cut through the Gelcast surface. If fitting a Utopia tap cut a 35mm hole. If using any other tap please refer to the manufacturer’s fitting guidelines (see g 4).
50MM LAMINATE WORKTOPS
Use the Nylon Sleeve Insert, specially designed for use with 50mm laminate worktops, when fitting a worktop-mounted tap.
Drill a small pilot hole at the centre of the tap position.
Drill part way from under side a hole of 52-54mm diameter (see g 5). Then drill a 35mm hole from the top which will accommodate your tap. Insert the nylon sleeve.
Use a quality silicone seal around both hole cuts and insert sleeve and fit tap (see g 5).

Solid Surface and Laminate Worktops
GUIDE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF SOLID SURFACE PRODUCTS
IMPORTANT
These instructions must be followed when installing Solid Surface Products.
We recommend that you use the following tools:
Portable router - To do all cuts and cross cuts wherever possible. Belt Sander - for finishing rough or cut edges.
Orbital Sander - for finishing rough or cut edges. Hole Saw - for cutting out tap holes
We DO NOT recommend that you use the following:
Jigsaw - Do all cuts and cross cuts with a router wherever possible. Spade and Auger type drill bits - Always use hole saws.
However, a jigsaw may be used only if a brand new downward cutting blade is used and these instructions are strictly adhered to.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE COMMENCING WORK
All Solid Surface tops are packed together with a relevant fitting pack and are identified by a label which appears on the front of the box and the rear of the packaging.
It is advised that fitting commences from a corner wherever possible, ensuring correct spacing should a corner filler be used. It is also advised that all doors and facias are removed prior to fitting to avoid unnecessary damage occurring.
If the Worktop has become slightly bowed during storage it can be pulled straight during the installation process.

Worktops
FITTING A WORKTOP
Position the worktop on the units and push up against the wall to enable you to mark and measure for cutting (see g 1).
If the worktop needs scribing to the wall contours do so using a compass and pencil
(see g 2).
We suggest that an allowance of 10mm is made to accomodate a worktop overhang on an exposed worktop edge or show ends.
Use a belt sander to remove the final bit of material and to eliminate small chips or saw kerfs, the latter is most important. If necessary hand finish the cut edge using sandpaper
(see g 3).
Seal all cut or raw edges (including those that meet the wall) using good quality silicone sealer ensuring that a full coverage is obtained (see g 4).
Screw the worktop down to the cabinets, making sure the screw does not penetrate too deep into the substrate of the worktop (see g 5). Change screw size from 1” to ¾ “ (see g 5).
Finally run a small bead of silicone between the join of the worktop and the wall
(see g 6).

INSTALLING A WASHBASIN INTO A LAMINATE OR SOLID SURFACE WORKTOP
When cutting out for a washbasin a template must be used. These will be provided by the pottery manufacturer and will be one of two types, a semi-counter top type (see g
1) or an inset vanity basin (see g 2). Do not attempt to fit an underslung basin into any
laminated worktop as the substrate is unsuitable for this. Note only Solid Surface worktops will be suitable.
Following the pottery manufacturers instructions, lay the template in the desired position and draw around it allowing for a 12mm overhang (see g 1).
Make the cut outs using a portable router if possible.
However, if a jigsaw is used please make sure all small chips and saw kerfs are removed by sanding the edges producing a slight radius to the 3mm surface (see g 3).
All worktops must be cut at points A, B and C and sealed with a good quality silicone sealant as illustrated (see g 4) to accommodate a Utopia basin. This will allow the basin to fit closely to the fascia of the unit below.
For all other pottery follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Once the basin is in position apply a bead of silicone sealer around the joint between the pottery and furniture. This is very important to prevent water ingress.
Fit the basin following the manufacturers instructions.
Note - Do not cut a square corner in Solid Surface worktops. They must have at least a 5mm radius (see g 5).
FIXING CERAMIC SLABTOPS, SIT-ON, SEMI-RECESSED OR MINERALCAST WASHBASINS
Basins can be fixed directly to the unit by using a good quality silicone sealant around the top of the unit and the back of the slabtop. This will bond the slabtop to the top of the unit and wall to give extra support (see g 6). All sit on and semi-recessed basins are bonded to the worktop with a good quality silicone sealant
BASIN WASTE RECOMMENDATION
A standard 32mm P trap or bottle trap can be accommodated in all washbasin unit installations with the exception of the 740mm and 1040mm ceramic washbasin single drawer unit where we recommend the use of a flexible waste fitting as shown (see g 7).

FITTING A SOLID SURFACE APRON STANDARD AND SHORT PROJECTION
Position the fascia into the slot ensuring that the fascia is tight against the front edge of the slot.
Ensure that the apron remains central on the fascia, (see g 1), and the distance that the top edge of the apron sits above the top edge of the fascia (a) is equal on both sides
(see g 2).
Apply a bead of good quality silicone to the top edge of the apron.
Align the fixings on the fascia with the fixings on the cabinet and push the fascia onto the cabinet until it locks into place.
Apply a small amount of upwards pressure to the apron until it fits flat against the underside of the worktop and temporarily stick it in place using several pieces of masking tape (see g 3).
Wipe off any excess silicone with a clean cloth.
We recommend that you leave the silicone a minimum of 12 hours to set before removing the masking tape.
SOLID SURFACE SHELVES AND SHELF SUPPORTS
1 Firstly, ensure that the small adjustment bolt remains seated in the back of the bracket
before fixing (see g 4).
2 Mark the positions of the bracket holes on the wall, relative to the size of the shelf.
Take care to ensure the holes are level with each other using a spirit level. Drill into the wall at the marked points. Insert the rawlplugs or other appropriate fixing.
3 Check that the nut and bolt are loosely in position in the back of the bracket
(see g 4), and screw the brackets to the wall (see g 5).
4 When both brackets are securely fixed place the shelf centrally between the clasps
and turn the adjustment screws on the underneath of the brackets until the shelf is securely held in place (see g 6).
