Check for leaks: Turn on water supply and inspect all connections under the sink.
Test the waste: Fill the basin with water, then operate the pop-up mechanism to drain.

Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then check for leaks with a quarter turn using a wrench if necessary. Do not overtighten.

Tip: Use thread seal tape (PTFE tape) on all threaded plumbing connections for a better seal.

Using the Sink

Designed for standard bathroom use (hand washing, brushing teeth, etc.).

Turn on water: Use tap lever or handles to adjust temperature and flow.
Use the basin: The overflow will activate if water level gets too high.
Drain water: Engage the pop-up waste lever to close the drain for filling. Disengage to open and drain.
For cleaning: The smooth ceramic surface is easy to wipe clean.

WARNING! Do not stand or sit on the sink. Do not pour boiling water directly into the ceramic basin to avoid thermal shock. Avoid dropping heavy objects.

Care & Cleaning

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly with water.

Daily: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
Stains/Limescale: Use a mild pH-neutral cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse well.
Avoid: Abrasive pads, scouring powders, acidic cleaners (e.g., vinegar, bleach-based products) as they can damage the glaze.
