Operation of the lever tap system
The lever should be FULLY DOWN when off. To operate, rotate the lever clockwise to turn on
the flow of water; rotating the lever further clockwise will make the water hotter, then rotating
the lever anti-clockwise will make the water colder. To turn the water off, rotate the lever
anticlockwise as far as it will go.

Caution: The unit is fitted with an obstacle sensing switch, if the unit encounters an obstruction
under the front portion of the basin whilst travelling downwards it will automatically stop. Pressing
the ‘Up’ button will allow the obstruction to be removed. Care should be taken to ensure that
whilst the basin assembly is moving downwards there are no obstructions left directly
beneath the basin or rise & fall unit as the obstacle sensing switch is designed to
stop the unit only when the front of the basin is lifted.
If both the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ buttons are pressed at the same time the unit will not
move.
Cleaning
The basin and vanity top may be cleaned using most mild cleaning agents. Chemical agents must not
be used, i.e. drain cleaners, acetone, oven cleaners or acids. The rise and fall unit and handset
should be cleaned using a warm soapy solution and rinsed with a damp cloth. Attention should
always be paid to instruction labels on the outside of cleaning agent containers. Test the cleaner on
a discrete area (e.g. underneath the unit).
Troubleshooting
In the unlikely event that problems occur with the unit, carry out the following easy checks to
determine whether or not an engineer is required:
Fault: The rise and fall unit does not travel up or down.
Cause: The mains power supply may have been disconnected.
Remedy:
Examine the mains fuses/circuit breakers and reset as necessary and ensure that mains voltage is
fully reconnected. If the unit still fails to operate an electrician needs to ensure that mains
electrical supply is available at the fused spur (a fuse may have blown elsewhere in the circuit).
Fault:
Cause:
The rise and fall unit travels upwards but not downwards.
There may be an obstruction underneath the basin.
Remedy:
Depress the ‘Up’ button on the handset to gain clearance from the obstruction and then remove the
obstruction. The rise & fall unit should then resume normal function.
If the problem persists after carrying out these remedies, please contact Astor-Bannerman (contact
details can be found on the back page of this user guide).

Pre-installation information
Plumbing:
Fit cold (on left) and hot (on right) outlets with their centres at 200mm above the floor, pointing
upwards, offset to the left of the centreline of the unit by 140mm terminating with 3/4” BSP
washing machine isolation valves. These feeds will be enclosed by 50x75mm trunking upon
installation. Fit a 32mm/1¼” waste pipe with its centre at 200mm above the floor, on the centreline
of the unit.
Electrics:
The ABW-CP is supplied by mains electric (230v) and transformed to 24v within the unit. A 30mA
RCD protected fused spur is required, with a flush mounted flex outlet cover, on the wall behind the
unit at a height of 1100mm from the floor on the centreline of the unit.
Fixing:
The basin assembly should be fixed to a load bearing wall (i.e. strong enough to carry a 100kg load
on wall fixing) which is flat and free from obstruction from 200mm – 2200mm above the floor. If
the basin needs to be fixed to a stud wall, the wall will need special reinforcement, either
150mm/6" noggins as shown above or 25mm/1" marine or exterior plywood may be used to cover
the entire fixing area, secured to the stud work every 200mm.

Version 4: 25-09-2019

•Measure 1200mm up from the floor along the centreline of the final position of the unit; using a
spirit level, draw a horizontal line either side of the centreline, at least 520mm long
•Place the attachment rail with the open lip upwards, with its holes centred on the horizontal line.
Select two holes in the rail, at least 250mm apart, to use for fixing, and mark the wall through
these holes with a pencil
•Using a 6mm drill bit, drill two full depth pilot holes at the marked positions and then open up in
order to accept the appropriate fixings
•Fix the attachment rail onto the wall with the open lip uppermost, using two suitable fixings.
Ensure that the rail is horizontal using a level (adjust to suit) and check that it is secure
Installation
Please Note: Due to the complexity of different building methods
Astor-Bannerman do not supply installation fixings and anchors.
Important: The attachment rail is designed to only support the weight of the unit and
not the rated load of the sink, this is an installation aid only

•Fit the trunking (the following steps describe how to mark up and drill the trunking so that it
can be fitted over the top of the supply pipes and isolation valves):
oPosition the trunking in front of the hot and cold water outlets and with its end
resting on the floor
oRemove and retain the trunking cap
oMark on the back of the trunking the top of the isolation valves and the bottom of the
supply pipes
oUse these marks to make a hole large enough for the pipes and isolation valves to
pass through
oRemove the backing paper from the self adhesive tape on the trunking
oPlace the trunking over the pipes and isolation valves but do not allow the tape to
stick to the wall yet
oUsing a level, ensure the trunking is vertical
oPress the self adhesive tape against the wall to secure the trunking
•With assistance, place the rise and fall unit onto the wall ensuring that:
othe two short rails welded to the unit engage with the one on the wall (see Fig 6
below)
othe recess in the underside of the rise and fall unit passes over the trunking
(see Fig 7 below)
•Ensure that the unit is level, then mark the wall through the three attachment points, one on
the upper and two on the lower horizontal beams (see Fig 8, below)
•Remove the unit from the wall and at each of the three marked positions drill a 6mm full-
depth pilot hole
•Open these three holes to accept appropriate fixings
•Fit the fixings into the wall
•With assistance, place the rise and fall unit back onto the wall-mounted rail, ensuring it is
correctly aligned as before
•Fully secure the rise and fall unit to the wall at the three prepared fixing points
•Ensure the previously installed mains supply to the junction box on the wall is switched
OFF
•Electrically connect the rise and fall unit to the fused outlet using the unit's three-core
cable. Ensure there is sufficient slack in the cable to allow the unit to rise and fall
•Fit the handset BEFORE switching the power on
•Secure the handset to the cable tie mount (see diagram on next page for
location of cable tie mount) using the cable tie supplied (see fig 10, p.9)
•Switch on the mains voltage
Check that the Obstacle sensing switch on the arms works properly:
•Operate the lowering function and then lift the right hand arm on the unit to ensure
that the unit stops travelling downwards
•Leave the mains voltage supply switched on
