Oliveri Santorini User manual

The latest technological advances are used in the
manufacturing process of our sinks which are tested a
number of times during the production process to ensure
they comply with rigorous quality standards.
Manufactured from 80% granite and 20% quartz and
resin, the sink is scratch, heat and stain resistant.
This sink can be installed on virtually any type of
benchtop, including wood, plastic, marble, etc.
Correct and proper use of your sink will ensure its
long-lasting life. Consult the Care and Maintenance
section of this manual for advice on cleaning and
regular maintenance.
PLEASE NOTE
If a washing machine or dishwasher is going to be
installed beneath the sink, proceed as follows:
• To prevent overheating, which may result in the
deformation of the sink, adjust the feet on the washing
machine / dishwasher so there is sufficient ventilation
between the appliance and the sink.
• To facilitate air circulation and cooling, we recommend
providing the cabinet base with ventilation slots.

THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED TRADESPERSON
TF29a – ST-BL1584U Installation Instructions / June 2021 / Page 1 of 4
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
Unpack & check the item is correct and no
damage has occurred during transit.
If there are any visible defects, DO NOT
PROCEED WITH THE INSTALLATION and
please contact the place of purchase
immediately.
ANY CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED AFTER INSTALLATION.
Protect your sink before and during
installation. Scratches, cracks or other
surface damage sustained during or after
the installation are NOT COVERED BY
WARRANTY.
Installation must be in accordance with
building regulations and any local
authority requirements.
CAUTION: Composite Sinks are HEAVY, be
sure to get help when lifting or moving.
STOP AND READ CAREFULLY

We recommend that only professional and expert installers
carry out the installation. As a bespoke artisan installation is
required, no cut-out pattern is provided.
We strongly recommend that you provide your installer with the
actual sink before the manufacture or modification of a cabinet. To
modify a standard cabinet so that it can accommodate and support
the weight of the farmhouse sink, a reinforcement must be built
inside it, by inserting a reinforced support surface.
When the sink is positioned on the support sructure, make sure that
the top of the sink reaches the bottom of the benchtop.
ATTENTION: check that the support structure is suitable for
this type of sink as its weight, including that of the water
it could contain, could exceed 70 kg. Reinforce the support
structure if needed. Minimum cabinet width 900mm.
The Farmhouse Sink is for UNDERMOUNT ONLY.
Step 1 Prepare the Sink Cabinet
To support the weight of the sink, prepare an internal support shelf
or a support structure.
Drill the drain hole on the support shelf (A), taking into account the
presence of the basket waste fitting. Prepare a hole in the rear area
for the water supply pipes (B).
Fit the strainer into the hole from the top,
and then place the drain under the hole.
Risk of personal injury. Composite sinks are heavy. Get help when lifting
or moving. Be sure to use proper tools and always wear personal safety
devices for your protection.
CAUTION
The internal support
shelf must be installed
at the preset height.

Step 2 Cut out the Cabinet Front
Cut the front of the cabinet using the dimensions shown below.
NOTE
Measurement “C” must be greater than the height of the sink.
(240mm).
Step 3 Cut and Install the Benchtop
Reversible Fronts The Farmhouse Sink has the peculiarity of having
two different fronts: one front has ‘sharp’ corners, with a radius of
18mm and a 32mm top edge to suit the style of modern and
contemporary environments. The opposite front has more rounded
corners with a 40mm radius, and a wider top edge of 40mm. These
softer lines are the ideal combination for country kitchens, or those
kitchens with a more classic or retro design.
Before cutting the benchtop opening, choose
the direction the sink will face.
The following diagrams show the measurements to be used to cut
the benchtop hole, according to the direction chosen.
Step 4 Seal the Sink with the Benchtop
Apply a thin bead of only ‘neutral cure’ silicone sealant where the sink
meets the benchtop and cabinet. Use of an ‘acetic cure’ silicone can
irreparably damage the sink. Immediately wipe away excess sealant.
NB: Cut dimensions are intended for standard depth benchtops (648mm).

CARE & MAINTENANCE
WARRANTY
SERVICE
• Avoid placing pots, pans or other hot objects in excess of 280°C
on the surface of the sink (CAUTION! The bottom of a pot or
pan just removed from the burner can reach temperatures
of over 600°C). Pots, pans and other hot objects must be placed
on appropriate potholders (made of wood, rubber, etc.).
• Avoid causing excessive thermal shock due to the presence of
very hot and very cold objects on the sink at the same time.
• Do not use the sink as a cutting surface: rather, use a cutting
board made of bamboo or high-pressure laminate, which can
be purchased together with the sink.
• Do not use abrasive detergents or metal cleaning pads to
clean the sink because they could scratch the surface, making it
susceptible to stains.
• Sink can be damaged by dropping heavy or pointed objects on to
its surfaces.
• Scratches and chips on the surface of the sink can be removed
using very fine wet & dry paper (used wet) and then polish.
• CAUTION! Do not pour alcohol, gasoline, trichloroacetic acid
or any solvents in general into or onto the sink because they
could react with the chemical structure of the composite material
and damage it beyond repair.
How to clean the sink
• Clean the sink regularly using a soft cloth with warm soapy water
and clean the sink after each use.
• Normal stains should be removed immediately.
• Cleaning powders and creams which are even slightly abrasive
should not be used, nor chemically aggressive detergents.
• Marks caused by foods or liquid which stain easily (tea, coffee,
fruit juice, etc.), must be removed immediately with very
hot water and a cleaning product.
• Special stains, such as those caused by Indian ink, other inks,
oil-based stains or paints, etc., must be removed immediately.
If these stains are difficult to remove, use a cloth dampened with
denatured alcohol.
• For organic stains which are especially difficult to remove, it is
recommended that you fill the sink with a highly diluted organic
cleaner such as bleach and let stand overnight. The next
morning, rinse with warm water and a soft cloth.
• Lines caused by contact between a pot or fork and the surface
of the sink should be removed with a cloth or sponge and
liquid detergent.
• Daily use will result in lime buildup, especially on the bottom of
the sink, which will progressively increase in thickness.
This layer of lime buildup is very porous and easily stained. The
presence of stains on the bottom of the sink basin is attributable
to this buildup. The formation of lime buildup must be prevented
by removing any buildup at least twice a week.
• To remove lime buildup (which is very visible on sinks which are
dark in colour), we recommend the following procedure:
1) Cover the bottom of the sink with a solution of vinegar and
water (or a product specifically designed to fight lime buildup
and let stand for a few hours.
2) Then, rub the bottom of the sink vigorously with the stiff side
of a sponge until the lime, dirt and stains have been removed.
3) Rinse thoroughly with water.
Initially, please contact your sink Installer to confirm that the sink
has been installed correctly, the benchtop is level, the cut-out is
correct and the sink is secure and supported. If the installer is
satisfied that the problem is not due to poor installation, please
contact Oliveri’s nominated Warranty Service Agent.

If the Warranty Service Agent finds that the sink is not faulty, they
reserve the right to pass on any call-out fee to the householder.
