What is the minimum cabinet size required for this sink?

A minimum base unit width of 500mm is required for installation.

Does the sink come with a waste fitting?

Yes, a complete waste kit including a 3½” waste is supplied with the sink.

How do I clean and maintain the stainless steel finish?

Can this sink be top-mounted or inset?

Troubleshooting

Sink appears to be draining slowly.

Ensure the included 3½” waste is correctly installed and not blocked. Check the U-bend and trap for any obstructions.

Water spots are forming on the surface.

Dry the sink thoroughly with a soft cloth after each use to prevent mineral deposits from drying on the surface. Consider using a stainless steel polish or cleaner specifically designed to prevent water spots.
