Troubleshooting
The tap lever feels loose or rotates with difficulty
Check the screw inside the handle assembly to ensure it is tightened. If the lever remains stiff, the ceramic cartridge may need inspection or replacement.
Water flow is slow from the mixer tap
Unscrew the aerator at the end of the spout and clean out any debris or limescale buildup that may be restricting water flow.
Sink surface shows light surface marks
Use a specialized composite cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water on a soft sponge to gently buff out superficial scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: This unit is designed for inset installation. Ensure your countertop is cut to the appropriate size to accommodate the 860mm x 500mm footprint. Verify that the supporting cabinet is at least 450mm wide before beginning installation.
Care for the Sink: Clean the SMC surface with a non-abrasive cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or steel wool, which can damage the finish.
Care for the Tap: To maintain the Antique Brass finish, wipe the tap with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent water spot build-up. Do not use acidic or abrasive cleaners on the tap, as these will strip the decorative finish.
Professional Installation: It is recommended that a qualified plumber installs the tap and waste connections to ensure proper seals and to prevent leaks.
