Bathroom Furniture Assembly Instructions

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 which 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 acontractor 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 levelled 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 mustnot 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 bleaches. 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.

Installation

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 Base and Wall Unit into the desired installation position in the room. Mark a centre line on the wall.
See Diagram 1.

Note: We recommend an installation height of 820mm (base unit) and (wall units)1972mm. (Base Unit- Height of the unit plus 180mm plinth, this also matches the height of the WC Unit

Draw a horizontal line 700mm from the floor for Base Units & 1852mm for Wall Units. This is the height hanging brackets will be fitted to hang the unit.

See Diagram 2

Next mark the position of the outer edges of the Units = X, working out 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.

Hanging the Unit

Note: If floor standing the unit (I.e. using a plinth) you will be required to fit the legs to the cabinet prior to hanging. Please see the separate Plinth & Leg Instruction for more detail.

Hang the units, making sure the hanging brackets on the rear of the units, engage with the wall plates on the wall.
See Diagram 5.
