FAQs
Does this washbasin come with a faucet or drain?
No, the faucet and drain assembly are sold separately. You will need to purchase a faucet compatible with countertop or wall mounting and a drain assembly for a 45mm drain hole without an overflow.
Can I drill a faucet hole myself?
It is not recommended to drill a faucet hole into sanitary ceramic as it can cause cracking or damage the material. It's best to select a faucet designed for the basin's configuration.
What are the exact dimensions of the basin?
The dimensions are: Length: 60.5 cm, Width: 36 cm, Height: 16 cm, and the depth of the basin itself is 10 cm.
What is the warranty period?
The washbasin comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
Is this basin suitable for wall-mounted faucets?
Yes, this basin is suitable for wall-mounted faucets, as it does not have a pre-drilled faucet hole.
How do I clean the sanitary ceramic?
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For tougher grime, a non-abrasive cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water can be used. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
What is the diameter of the drain hole?
The drain hole has a diameter of 45 mm.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling in the basin
Ensure the drain is clear of obstructions and the basin is installed with a slight slope towards the drain hole.
Difficulty finding a compatible drain
Look for 'basin waste' or 'drain assembly' specifically designed for sinks without an overflow and with a 45mm outlet connection.
Stains on the ceramic surface
Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. For tougher stains, try a paste of baking soda and water, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Water overflowing the basin edge
This is a risk due to the lack of an overflow. Be mindful of water levels when filling the basin and ensure the drain is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This washbasin is designed for countertop mounting. Ensure your vanity or cabinet is structurally sound and appropriately sized for the basin's dimensions (60.5 cm length x 36 cm width x 16 cm height). Installation typically involves sealing the basin to the countertop surface using silicone sealant. Since there is no pre-drilled faucet hole, you will need to select and install a faucet that can be mounted on the countertop, wall, or directly on the basin if its design allows for such mounting (check faucet specifications). A drain assembly with a 45 mm diameter is required.
Compatibility: The basin is compatible with standard countertop vanity units and cabinets. Ensure your chosen faucet and drain assembly match the required specifications (no faucet hole on basin, 45 mm drain hole). It does not have an overflow opening, so water management is key.
Care: Clean the basin regularly using a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads, which can damage the sanitary ceramic surface. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be used as a gentle cleaner.
