- Polish with a metal polish paste (Autosol / Brasso)
- Use a Liquid cleaner (Bon-Ami or Jiff)
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
- NEVER use steel wool
- Beware of harsh liquid cleaners
- Beware of grit within cloths and mineral deposits within water
- Avoid prolonged exposure to acids from fruit, fruit juices, salts, spirits, bleach, tea-bags

STEPS TO INSTALL AN OLIVERI UNDERMOUNT SINK
FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO INSTALL AN OLIVERI UNDERMOUNT SINK
IF COUNTER / BENCHTOP IS SUPPLIED WITH CUT-OUT, SKIP STEPS MARKED WITH*
CHECK SPACE
Ensure there is adequate space for tapware (including a splashback if
specified). Check space for installation (underneath) and operation (above).
Particular care must be taken when a thick splash back is used (it may
interfere with tapware location and operation). Ensure the cabinet will not
foul the sink mounting flange or basins.
**TEMPLATE ***
Cut-out templates for your Oliveri sink are available online at
oliveri.com.au Use the product model number to find
the template.
Some sink templates apply to both left-hand and right-hand models. Ensure
template is the correct way around for your model.
**MARK CUT OUT ***
Carefully mark out the template (or follow drawing instructions) making
allowance for any additional polishing back that is required after cutting.
NOTE: The template is the exact finished cut-out size required.
**CUT & FINISH HOLE ***
Drill pilot holes to accept an appropriate cutting tool for the counter/
benchtop material (wear suitable personal protection equipment). Cut inside
the mark, allowing sufficient material for any sanding and polishing back if
required. NOTE: Accuracy of the cutout shape is essential to ensure visual
alignment with the bowl / basin perimeter and so any accessories fit
correctly.
TRIAL FIT THE SINK
Carefully position the sink against counter/benchtop to make sure it fits the
cut-out correctly. If the fit is not correct, remove the sink and proceed with
remedial work. Perform another trial fit after corrections have been made.
APPLY SEALANT
Apply suitable sealant recommended for both the counter/benchtop material
being used and for stainless steel. Neutral-cure sealant will not damage
stainless steel. It may be easier to apply sealant after preparing your
clamping equipment. Do not allow the sealant to dry before the sink is clamped
to the counter/benchtop.
DO NOT INSTALL USING EPOXY ADHESIVES
Should a genuine warranty claim arise for a sink installed using this method,
Oliveri will cover the replacement cost of the sink only and not the cost of
sink removal or reinstallation. If you have any doubts, confirm the correct
mounting method for your material by consulting the counter/benchtop
supplier.
ADDITIONAL FASTENING
The sealant alone may appear to bond the sink to the counter/ benchtop.
However, when installing your Oliveri undermount sink, it is important to
always use methods A or B (below) to locate the sink securely in the
counter/bench top in conjunction with the sealant manufacturer’s instructions.
FITTING THE SINK
Position and align the sink correctly in the cutout (some threaded rod and
timber bearers will help to clamp the sink in place) and either:
‘A’ Sandwich Method: RECOMMENDED FOR BOTH THIN AND THICK COUNTER/BENCHTOP. Firmly fix a support board into / over the cabinet and cut the sink hole so that the sink flange will sit above the edge of the board. Slightly rout the edge so that the sink flange will sit flush with the top surface. Test for fit. Install sink and seal between flange and support board. Apply sealant to the underside edge of the cutout on counter/benchtop material and position it over the support board to sandwich the sink in place. Fasten the counter/ benchtop securely.
Above shows sandwich method where sink is clamped between a lower support board (with routed edge) and the upper counter/ benchtop using method A.
‘B‘ Bolt: For minimum 25mm (1”) thick material. Bolt it to the counter
/benchtop using “molly” assemblies. Care must be taken during drilling and
tightening to avoid cracking.
NOT RECOMMENDED TO BE USED WHEN FITTING SINK TO THINNER COUNTER/BENCHTOPS.
Above shows how threaded rod and timber bearers may be used to clamp the sink
in place while fastening to the counter/benchtop using method B.
Do not overtighten as this may damage the sink.
