INSET SINK

IMPORTANT!
 During installation, take care to protect the sink
from scus and scratches.
 Do not stand on the sink.
 During installation, do not stand the sink on its
edges or corners. This may cause damage.
 Avoid straining and over tightening of all plumbing
xtures connected to the sink.
 Carefully check that the moulding and edges of the
sink are dead level so that water will ow o the
drainer.
 The clamping brackets are suitable for worktops
of between 30–40 mm thickness (Fig. 2.1). If your
worktop is a dierent size then it may require
packing under the clamps or rebating (Fig. 2.2).
Preparation
1. Take great care when handling this sink, whilst every
eort has been taken to remove sharp edges, the
material by nature may be sharp. We recommend
wearing gloves accordingly. DO NOT lift the product
by the waste hole(s) or tap hole(s). We recommend 2
people should be used to handle this product.
2. Check the package for completeness, possible
defects or any transport damage before installation
commences. Installed faulty product will not be
honoured by the warranty.
3. Check that the supporting carcass and worktop is level
left to right and front to back to ensure correct drainage
of water.
4. Check that the surrounding furniture is the correct size
and shape to accept this product and that no plumbing
or wiring may foul the installation.
5. If replacing an existing sink, remove this product and
clean the surrounding area, ensure the new sink will suit
the existing cut out size and position, otherwise amend
the cut out size accordingly.
6. Before creating the cut out in the worktop, carefully
plan the positioning of the sink. Ensure that the position
of the bowl(s), tap and overows will not interfere with
surrounding units or appliances. Check that the xing
clips will not foul carcass walls or supporting braces.
7. Carefully mark out the cut out using the provided
technical drawing or template. Create the sink cut out
in the worktop using a router or CNC cutter, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions taking care not to chip,
crack or scratch the worktop. If preparing the cut out
in situ cover any open pipework to avoid any debris
contaminating the water supply feeds.

Preparing the Worktop
We recommend that you t the sink to the worktop before
permanently xing the worktop to the cabinet.
1. Place the sink upside down on the worktop. Position
the sink on the worktop as required. Make sure the
cabinet framework will clear all parts of the sink. Using a
soft, sharp pencil draw around the sink as accurately as
possible. Remove the sink.
2. Using the sink position outline as a rough template
mark the cut-out as per dimension in (Fig. 2.3).
3. Drill as large a hole as possible inside the cutting line.
Using a pad saw, jigsaw or similar, cut out the opening
up to the cutting line.
Sealing the Edges of the Opening.
We recommend that porous edges around the cut-out are
sealed using a waterproof sealant such as varnish, paint or
wood glue . This will prevent swelling of the worktop should
any small leaks occur (Fig. 2.4).
Applying the Silicon Sealant
 DO NOT use Epoxi sealant or Epoxi adhesive.
Apply a bead of “Silicone sealant”(not included) to the
underside of the sink ange (Fig. 2.5).
Fitting the Sink
1. First gently push and tap each clip into position (Fig.
2.6). Turn the sink upside down and lay the worktop
over the sink. Swing clips into“open”position shown in
steps 1 of (Fig. 2.7).
2. Swing each clip into place, lightly tighten the screws
shown in steps 2 and 3 of (Fig. 2.7) – this is the most
eective method, although if the worktop has been
tted to the cabinet the sink can be placed in the
opening and xed in position from underneath.
3. Centre the sink. Tighten the xing screws in the
sequence shown in Fig. 2.8.
 Do not tighten fully at rst attempt.
4. Remove any surplus sealing material or wipe away any
excess sealant.
Waste Fittings
Fit the waste ttings to the sink using the instructions
supplied with them.
When installing as an Inset Sink into deep worktop, a chamfer
in the underside of the worktop may be required for the
overow body (Fig. 2.9).
Check for Leaks:
• Supply user tubes to faucet
• Supply riser tubes to shut off valves or lower
connections
• Fill sink with water and check for leak around drain
• Release water from sink and check for possible leaks
• Tighten as needed

After Care
Day-to-day care
Although your sink is made from extremely durable materials
and will withstand a great deal of hard use, it can be
scratched by hard or sharp objects. If the surfaces are to be
kept in a blemish free condition reasonable care should be
taken when handling such items.
 Do not use the drainer as a chopping board.
Cleaning
Wash your sink using warm water, a soft cloth or non‐
abrasive woven nylon pad and a non‐ abrasive liquid cleaner
or detergent. This can be done as often as the sink is used.
Metallic Abrasions or Heavy Stains:
Wipe the sink using a soft cloth or non –abrasive woven nylon
pad and a liquid scouring product. Apply the liquid scouring
product sparingly and rub lightly. Repeat as necessary until
sink is clean.
Hard Water, Calcium and Lime Deposits:
Wipe with a non‐ Abrasive woven nylon pad and white
vinegar. Rinse after 20 minutes.
Please refer to www.rangemaster.co.uk for a full guide to
cleaning your sink.
 Do not use abrasive cleaning creams or powders,
scrub pads or alkali cleaners such as ammonia,
concentrated caustic soda, formic acid or anything
highly corrosive.
