Troubleshooting
Sink is not draining properly
Check the waste trap and plumbing connections for any blockages. Ensure the overflow is clear.
Scratches appearing on the surface
Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals. Minor scratches may be buffed out with a specialized ceramic cleaner, but prevention is key.
Difficulty drilling tap holes
Use a sharp, high-quality drill bit designed for hard surfaces. Start with a pilot hole and drill slowly and steadily. Wear safety glasses.
Water pooling in the sink
Ensure the sink is installed with a slight fall towards the drain. Check that the waste outlet is not obstructed.

Tap Hole Drilling: If installing a faucet, carefully drill through the semi-punched tap holes using appropriate masonry or tile drill bits. Ensure the area is stable and protected.
Installation: Place the sink into the countertop opening, ensuring a secure fit. Apply silicone sealant around the edge to create a watertight seal.

Care:

Stubborn Stains: For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for fire clay or ceramic surfaces. Rinse thoroughly.
