Prior to Installation

Read the following instructions thoroughly before installation of the sink:

For top-mount installation

• It’s recommended to have an experienced cabinet maker build the new cabinet or modify an existing cabinet to ensure a successful installation.
• The cabinet and frame shown in the illustrations are generic and intended as suggestions only. All illustrations in the following instructions assume installation with a standard countertop. Other countertop sizes may also be used.
• Use proper securing hardware and techniques to ensure the support frame will bear a minimum of 300 lbs (136kg).

Installation Procedures

Wall Mount Installation

1. Step I. Install Mounting Brackets

   • Make sure the water supply is 8″ apart for a two-hole faucet installation.
   • The mounting brackets should be 11.4″ to 11.8″ apart. Mark the intended locations with a pencil. Check for levelness.
   • Hold the brackets level and mark the locations for the screw holes on the wall. Install the mounting brackets to the wall and check again for levelness before fully tightening all screws into position.

2. Step II. Install Sink

   • Carefully lower the sink onto the bracket using the slot on the back of the item and check levelness. Make adjustments if necessary.
     CAUTION Risk of personal injury or product damage. Get help lifting the sink.

   •  Install faucet and drain assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

   • Reminder Do not overtighten fittings as it might damage the chinaware.

   • Run water to test for leakage.

Top Mount Installation

• Before proceeding, determine your cabinet design:
  

1. Step I. Construct Cabinet and Support Frame

   • Measure the actual size of sink below the rim flange.
     NOTE The cabinet opening should equal the sink dimensions to ensure a minimum gap between the sink and the cabinet. If the sink is not available at the time of cabinet construction, make allowances to add wood filler strips to the opening after the cabinet is constructed and before the sink is installed.

   • Carefully measure and sketch the cut-out area according to the measurements taken from the actual sink. Cut the countertop and cabinet along the traced lines.

   • Construct a wood support frame inside the cabinet opening using 2×4 lumber and a 1/2″ plywood, as shown in the illustration. Locate and cut the drain outlet clearance hole on the plywood.
     NOTE Make sure the distance between the top of plywood and the top of countertop is identical to the distance between the bottom of the sink and the bottom of the sink rim.

2. Step II. Install Sink

   • Temporarily place the sink onto the cabinet opening. Check for alignment and clearance, then trace around the ouside edge of the sink as a guide for application of sealant. Then remove the sink.

   •  Apply a masking tape 1/8″ outside the traced outline of the sink and apply a generous portion of silicone sealant inside the traced lines on the countertop.

   • Carefully lower the sink into place, properly position it using guidelines on the countertop, and press down firmly.

   •  Apply additional sealant if necessary to provide a uniform bead from the sink rim to the masking tape. Remove any excess sealant and then the masking tape.

   • Install water supply and drainage system according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
     Reminder Do not overtighten fittings as it might damage the chinaware.

   • Run water to test for leakage.

Eridanus utility sinks are meticulously handcrafted with fine fireclay or ceramic and have undergone strict quality inspections. With proper care and cleaning measures, Eridanus sinks will keep in new condition and function well for an extended period of time.

General Cleaning

• It’s recommended to clean Eridanus sinks on a regular basis to avoid the build-up of soap or mineral deposits.
• When cleaning, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to rinse the sink thoroughly and wipe it dry to eliminate water spots, as allowing water or cleaners to evaporate will have a negative effect on the appearance of the sink.

Do’s

• Rinse laundry detergent thoroughly and make sure there’s no residue.
• Wipe the sink dry using a soft cloth after each use.
• Scrape off any heavy grime with a plastic spatula.
• Use baking soda or mild detergent to clean off heavy stains.
• Test the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface.
• Use a strainer to catch lint and small items like buttons to prevent clogging.

Don’ts

• Avoid storing open containers of household cleaners and chemicals containing chlorides such as bleach, acid, drain cleaners, or toilet bowl cleaner beneath the sink.
• Avoid using harsh, abrasive cleaners or chemicals as they will potentially scratch the surface.
• Avoid direct contact with sharp and metallic objects by using protective plastic bowls, rinse baskets, and sink grids with non-abrasive bases.
• Never use steel wool, cleaning pads, or any other form of abrasive cleaning materials to clean the sink as this may dull and damage the surface of the sink.
• Do not set hot pans or other hot items directly into the sink until they cool down.
• Do not leave any form of standing water in the sink, especially if the water contains anything that could stain the sink.
