Follow the manufacturer's instructions for securely mounting the basin to the countertop. Since there is no tap hole on the basin, plan the placement of your chosen faucet on the countertop or wall before installation.

Care:
- Clean the basin regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the glaze.
