Laundry Cabinet Installation
01. Prior to installation it is important to inspect the unit to ensure
no damage has occurred in transit. If damage has occurred, or a
visible defect exists, do not proceed with installation and advise
supplier immediately.
Note: Manufacturer will not be liable for any installation, removal
or re-decorating costs. The warranty will be null and void if
damage occurred during or after installation.
02. Check the wall is straight, (not bowed or twisted). Ensure unit is
square against the wall before securing. Door/drawer alignment
could be affected otherwise.
03. Remove drawers as per instructions on page 3. Runners can be
damaged if correct removal method not followed.
04. Drill holes for pipes in base/rear of unit with appropriate size
hole saws.
05. Position unit over pipes in correct position. Check level with
spirit level.
06. Securely fasten unit to wall through the back, no further than
100mm from end of cabinet. Upper fixings no lower than 50mm
from top of back. It is a requirement to fasten the cabinet through
the steel bracket in the top corner of unit (refer to image 06, right).
Getting Started
All goods must be checked prior to installation. If defects are found
due to manufacturing faults then goods MUST NOT be installed.
The merchant must inform the manufacturer.
If there is a proven manufacturing defect i.e. outside of tolerance
and the installation is carried out then, the manufacturer will replace
the item. However, the installation costs will be the responsibility
of the installer.
When installing the cabinets – the drawers/doors may need to be
adjusted, due to movement throughout carrying the goods. Please
view the instructions further below on hinge and drawer adjustment.
Any wall to which product is fixed must be of suitable construction to
support that product’s weight.

It is the responsibility of the licensed installer to make any adjustments to align doors and drawers after installation
if required.
Note: All fittings have been factory set and should not need adjustment. Check that the unit has not been twisted
during installation before making adjustments. Drawer fronts on some models may be adjusted, if necessary refer
to manufacturer.

07. Seal all edges where water penetration may occur, i.e. between top, wall and floor etc. (Materials used in the
construction of bathroom furniture are water-resistant not waterproof). Ensure silicone is used according to
manufacturers’ instructions. DO NOT use adhesive, this will void warranty.
08. Adjust drawers if required, as there may have been some movement during transportation or installation,
(refer to Hinge Adjustment). However, first check that the unit has not been twisted during installation.
09. Tiles/Mirrors etc surrounding the installation must provide adequate space for future removal of product if
required. Tiles or mirrors must clear cabinet by at least 3mm. We recommend tiling behind furniture and
ceramics.
10. Light - Product should not be exposed to direct sunlight or heat-lamps etc as this could cause premature
discolouration or fading.

Laundry Top Installation
01. IMPORTANT – All overhanging Kordura tops need to be supported by a back rail and a side rail that
we recommend is installed by a suitably qualified trades person.
02. End support rails are available if required (code: LES – 75 x 500 x 16 mm).
03. Laundry end panels are available as a separate item. These are supplied with 2x system 32 brackets (refer to
image 06). Must be securely fastened.
04. Laundry wall packers (code: LPP) are also available if unit is installed off the wall, or if there is a small gap
between the wall and the unit.
05. All fixings into the Kordura top must be pre-drilled.
06. Kordura solid surface tops hold solid colour throughout. They are easily drilled or cut with a router, jigsaw or
hole saw.
07. Where a separate basin is to be fitted it is essential that the basin must be centred over the cut-out and be
fully sealed to the cabinet and top to prevent any water penetration.

Soft Close Drawers
When a cabinet has soft close drawers, the drawers will need to be removed prior to installation of the cabinet.
Please view the following instructions on how to remove the drawers.
Removal
When you pull the drawer out you will notice a grey label on each side of the drawer (as per below diagram).
When the label on each side is removed – it will reveal a small lever on each side of the drawer. Both levers
are to be pulled up at the same time, then slide the drawer out slowly towards you.
Remove cover cap Release drawer from the slide, pull out the drawer
(Failure to do this will damage the drawer running mechanism)
Drawer re-installation
Push runners into cabinet, place drawer body on runners and push in firmly. Two clicks should be heard as drawer
sides click into place. Replace drawer front as per reverse of diagram above.
Engaging the soft-close mechanism
Put the drawer back in half way – close the drawer. Then pull the drawer back towards you. Underneath the
drawer you will feel a small tab. This is on each side of the drawer. Pull the tab towards you and at the same time
push the front of the drawer back. This will engage the soft close mechanism.
Adjustment
Check the unit is square on the wall before making adjustments.
Adjust drawer rails to ensure top and bottom drawer face align giving a flush close.

Trouble Shooting
What happens if my soft close drawer is not closing properly?
It means that your soft close drawer is not engaged correctly. Follow the instructions on page 03 to
re-engage the soft close mechanism.
Why is my soft close drawer making a noise on closing, and not closing smoothly?
If the release tabs on the drawer are not lifted properly, then this may cause the cog to strip on the soft close
mechanism. Please contact Bath Co Customer Services for a replacement. This is not covered under warranty.
What are the dimensions of the cabinets – internal and external?
All dimensions can be found on our website – www.bathco.co.nz or in our brochures.
How to cut out a sink hole in Kordura surfaces?
These hybrid solid surfaces hold colour throughout and can be easily cut or drilled with a router, jigsaw or hole saw.
Plumbing Recommendations
»Single drawer units are designed to be plumbed with a bottle trap.
»Waste is not to be over-tightened to avoid stress on basin or top.
»Basket waste supplied.
»Basin overflow must line up with waste opening.
»Waste overflow hole opening must not be blocked by sealant.
Cleaning & Maintenance
»To maintain the finish on your unit and top, only use a soft cloth, or a weak solution of non-abrasive detergent.
Do not use cleaners that incorporate Isopropyl alcohol. Stainless steel tops should only be cleaned with soapy
water and a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
Kordura Surfaces: Regular cleaning is recommended. Use soapy water and a soft cloth when cleaning surface.
Do not use product with high alkaline & pH levels. Contact Bath Co directly to provide guidelines to polish
scratched and heavy stains.
»To restore accidental scratches, burns etc on gloss painted finishes, rub gently with a very light cutting
compound. On matt or timber finishes contact the manufacturer.
Additional cleaning & maintenance for Kordura solid surface tops
»Solid surface tops are impervious to water and staining. Take care – tops can be damaged by sudden and rapid
temperature changes, and never place hot dishes/items directly on top of the wash surface.
»Knives or other sharp objects can scratch the surface.
»Blemishes and discolouration can be sanded out of the surface. We recommend a mild abrasive cleaning
product in the first instance. Contact Bath Co for more serious incidents and how to treat.
