Troubleshooting
Basin is not sitting level on the vanity.
Check that the vanity surface is level. Ensure any mounting clips or sealant are applied evenly. Minor adjustments may be possible with sealant thickness.
Water is pooling or draining slowly.
Verify that the 45mm drain hole is clear of debris. Ensure the drain assembly and trap are installed correctly and are not blocked. Check that the basin is installed with a slight slope towards the drain.
Difficulties installing faucet.
As there are no pre-drilled holes, careful measurement and drilling are required for deck-mounted faucets. Consider using a wall-mounted or freestanding faucet for a simpler installation.
Scratches or stains appear on the surface.
Use a non-abrasive ceramic cleaner and a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied. Always rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Stella basin is designed for countertop or cabinet mounting. Ensure your vanity or countertop has a cutout precisely matching the basin's base dimensions. Secure the basin according to standard countertop installation practices, typically using silicone sealant around the rim for a watertight seal. Note that this basin does not come with pre-drilled faucet holes; you will need to drill these yourself if using a deck-mounted faucet, or opt for a wall-mounted or freestanding faucet.
Compatibility: The drain hole is 45 mm in diameter, compatible with most standard basin waste fittings and trap systems. Ensure your chosen faucet is compatible with a basin that has no pre-drilled holes (e.g., wall-mounted, freestanding, or a faucet designed for single-hole drilling on the countertop).
Care: To maintain the basin's pristine finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the sanitary ceramic surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
