atlanta BATHROOMS Drawer Base Units
Product Information
The Drawerline Base Unit Short Door and Drawerline Base Unit Long Door are bathroom furniture units with product batch numbers for easy identification. The packaging includes labels that describe the product and provide the batch numbers. The units are designed for both back-to-wall pans and suspended wall- hung pans, when used with a suitable suspension frame. The basin edges must be sealed with a waterproof agent or sealer, and the basins should be leveled on a bead of silicon onto the base unit before the final water and waste connections are made. The cistern requires fixing to the cross rail, but these fixings are not supplied. To maintain the appearance and prolong the life of the bathroom products, it is recommended to clean them with a soft damp cloth and warm soapy water, avoiding cleaners or polishes that contain abrasives, solvents, acid, or ammonia.
Product Usage Instructions
Before installation, inspect all products carefully to avoid any subsequent installation costs incurred if faults that would have been evident at the time of delivery are discovered after installation. Always unpack units carefully and check the contents before discarding the packaging as small items may still be in the packaging. To protect units from scratches, only lay them on a clean flat surface. When installing the 700mm Base Units, consider where the pipes are located before beginning the installation. Place the Basin Unit into the desired installation position and mark a center line on the wall (refer to Floor Diagram 1). It is recommended to install the unit at a height of 820mm (height of the unit plus 180mm plinth, to match the height of the WC Unit). All cabinets should be fastened to the wall before fixing the basin. After alignment, additional wall fixings are recommended before carrying out the final installation of the basin.

Product Identification
All units can be easily identified from the labels on the packaging. These
labels include a description and product batch numbers. In the unlikely event
of any missing items, these numbers should be quoted when contacting your
supplier
Please inspect all products carefully before installation.
The guarantee does not cover any subsequent installation costs incurred if
faults that would have been evident at the time of delivery are discovered
after installation.
Installation Guide and Assembly Manual
It is recommended that this guide should be read before any installation of
units begins. Always unpack units carefully and check the contents before
discarding the packaging as small items may still be in the packaging. To
protect units from scratches only lay them on a clean flat surface.
Electrical
Carrying out work in a bathroom that requires any addition or alteration to
existing circuits could be notifiable to your local building control
department to ensure it meets the correct safety standards. Generally, any
work carried out to the circuit within a specific zone close to the bath or
shower unit is considered notifiable. A straightforward way of meeting the
requirements is to use a contractor who is registered with a Competent Person
Scheme such as NICEIC or ELECSA. They can self-certify the work and notify the
local building control department on your behalf.
Sanitaryware
Basins
Any unit edges around wash basins must be sealed with a waterproof agent or
sealer.
Basins should be leveled on a bead of silicon onto the base unit if possible
before the final water and waste connections are made.
W/C Units
You will need to make cut-outs for pipes and cistern controls as directed by
the Manufacturer’s instructions or templates, remembering to seal any raw
edges. The cistern will require fixing to the cross rail. (These fixings are
not supplied)
Please note: These units are designed for back-to-wall pans as well as
suspended “wall-hung” pans when used with a suitable suspension frame.
Guidelines for Care and Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and prolong the life of your new bathroom products
we recommend the following,
Furniture
Wipe spills up immediately with a clean soft damp cloth as excessive amounts
of spillage or condensation can cause deterioration of the woodwork. We
recommend that furniture be cleaned with a soft damp cloth and warm soapy
water. Avoid using cleaners or polishes that contain abrasives, solvents, acid
or ammonia.
Mirrors
Wipe off excessive moisture or condensation, clean with a soft cloth. Avoid
using cleaners that contain abrasives, solvents, acid or ammonia.
Ceramic Sanitaryware
Clean with a soft damp cloth and warm soapy water; rinse with clean water and
polish with a soft cloth. Avoid using cleaners that contain abrasives,
solvents, acid or ammonia.
Gel-coated Cast Mineral Washbasins
Gel-cast basins are designed and guaranteed to be used with hot water up to a
maximum temperature of 65ºC, this temperature must not be exceeded. Clean with
a soft damp cloth, water and soap or very mild detergent, rinse and polish
with a soft cloth. Avoid using cleaners that contain abrasives, solvents, acid
or ammonia. Do not use caustic soda or bleach. For a good shine use a fine
polish around twice a year and then finish with a wax e.g. car wax. Care
instructions are included with the washbasin.
Brassware
Clean with a damp cloth, water and soap, rinse clean and polish with a cloth.
Avoid using cleaners that contain abrasives, solvents, acid or ammonia.
Note: All cabinets should be fastened to the wall before fixing the basin, after alignment we recommend additional wall fixings are made, then the final installation of the basin can be carried out.
Note: Consider where the pipes are located before beginning the installation.
- To begin, place the Basin Unit into the desired installation position in the room. Mark a center line on the wall.See Diagram 1.
Note: We recommend an installation height of 820mm. (Height of the unit plus 180mm plinth, this is also to match the height of the WC Unit.
-
Draw a horizontal line 700mm from the floor, this is the height the hanging brackets will be fitted at, so the unit has a finished height of 820mm. For other installation heights, adjust accordingly. See Diagram 2.
-
Next mark the position of the outer edges of the Units = X, working from the centre line. See Diagram 3.
- For all units mark out the position of the wall plates (supplied as pairs) using the dimensions provided above.
- Once marked, drill the fixing positions. Depending on the wall medium, it may be necessary to plug the drilled holes. See ‘Important Note’ below.
- Next screw and secure the wall plates to the wall using suitable screws. See ‘Important Note’ below. See Diagram 4.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Wall fixings (i.e. screws/wall plugs etc.) are not supplied as these are
crucially dependent upon the type of wall and surface the surround is going to
be fixed too. The installer is therefore responsible for ensuring that
suitable fittings are used according to the particular model to be installed
as well as individual fitting situations and environments. All mechanical
fixings, for holding the product in position, must be secured to a solid wall
or structure.
