Sink & Faucet Installation

This cabinet is pre-cut for a standard sink bowl. Installation steps for drop-in sink.

1. Position Cabinet: Move assembled cabinet to its final location against the wall.
2. Apply Sealant: Run a bead of silicone sealant along the top edge of the sink cutout.
3. Place Sink: Carefully lower the sink bowl into the cutout, pressing down to create a seal with the silicone.
4. Install Faucet: Follow faucet manufacturer's instructions. Typically, insert faucet through mounting hole, secure from underneath with mounting hardware (H006).
5. Connect Plumbing: Connect water supply lines and P-trap to sink drain. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
6. Cure Time: Allow silicone sealant to cure for 24 hours before using the sink.

CAUTION! Do not overtighten faucet nuts, as this may crack the sink or countertop.

Leveling & Final Adjustments

Proper leveling prevents water pooling and ensures door/drawer function.

1. Check Level: Place a level on the cabinet top, both front-to-back and side-to-side.
2. Adjust Legs: Turn adjustable legs clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower. Adjust until cabinet is perfectly level.
3. Door Alignment: Open door. Use a hex key to adjust hinge screws: vertical, horizontal, and depth to align door with cabinet frame.
4. Drawer Alignment: Adjust drawer runner mounting screws to ensure drawer is level and slides smoothly.
5. Soft-Close Test: Gently close door and drawer. They should close softly and completely on their own.

Tip: For uneven floors, use shims under legs before final tightening.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp, soft cloth. Use mild soap if needed. Dry immediately.
• Avoid: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based products, or excessive water.
• Wood Care: The finish is water-resistant, not waterproof. Wipe spills promptly.
• Hardware: Periodically check and tighten screws and hinges if they become loose.
• Sealant: Inspect silicone seal around sink annually. Reapply if cracking or peeling occurs.

CAUTION! Never use steam cleaners on the cabinet or its hardware.
