plant in per fect condition. Should you nevertheless find it to be faulty,
please report the defect prior to installing the sink in order to avoid
unneces sary costs. In this case, the sink must remain in its original
packaging for instection purpo ses. Unfortunately, we cannot admit claims her
defects discovered after mounting. Please contact your specialist retailer for
any complaints.

Prior to mounting
-
Hole for tap fittings
The pre-drilled hole (semi-punched hole) has been cut to fit taps with a shaft diameter of 35 mm.
Ensure that the sink is evenly supported wit hin approximately 15 mm on either side of the pre-drilled hole. From above, carefully pierce the hole with a small chisel or screwdriver.
For taps with a shaft
diameter exceeding 35 mm, the hole must be widened.
This can be done with a compass saw fitted with a blade suitable for sawing metal.
Saw out of the hole in a toothed pattern as shown in the illustration and carefully break off the projections thus formed with pliers.
Caution: do not use force. -
Fixing clamps
Insert the enclosed clamps (1) into the preformed slots (2) on the undersite of the sink.

Congratulations on your purchase of this high quality Teka sink. With a
minimum of care, it will give you many years of pleasure. Please make sure to
follow these recommendations for the care of your sink.
For the daily cleaning of your Teka sink use only normal washing up liquid.
After cleaning, rinse briefly with hot water and wipe dry.
Fruit juices, coffee and tea can stain the surfa ce of your sink if not
removed. Please rinse or wipe your sink promptly after contact with these
substances.
Stubborn marks or stains caused by abrasion from metal objects such as cutlery
or pots or by staining foodstuffs can be removed with scouring liquid or
powder. Always use a mat for hot pots.
Because Tegranit contains a high proportion of qartz, its surface is very hard
and scratchproof.
To remove traces of damage caused by drop ped objects, (but dont drop any
heavy objects on the sink!) we recommend sanding the damaged area first with
coarse, then with fine sandpaper, using circular motions. Then, finish the
area with scouring powder applied dry and rinse with clear water.
Hard water can lead to the formation of cal cium deposits. lntensely coloured
foodstuffs can stain these deposits, so that the sink will appear spotty.
Calcium deposits should there fore be removed with household vinegar dilu
ted with warm water.
