Troubleshooting
Basin appears scratched
Minor surface scuffs can often be buffed out with a non-abrasive ceramic cleaner. Avoid using harsh scouring pads.
Water pooling around the drain area
Ensure the drain assembly is correctly installed and sealed according to its manufacturer's instructions. Check for any debris obstructing the drain.
Difficult to drill faucet holes
If drilling is necessary, use appropriate diamond-tipped drill bits for ceramics and proceed slowly with water lubrication to prevent cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a countertop mounted basin. It requires careful placement on a sturdy vanity or cabinet. Due to the absence of pre-drilled holes for faucets and overflows, precise measurements and drilling are essential if customization is desired. A standard 45 mm drain assembly is required.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard countertop vanities and cabinets. Ensure your chosen vanity can support the weight and dimensions of the basin (41 cm L x 34.5 cm W x 15 cm H). It requires a separate faucet and drain fitting, not included.
Care: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the ceramic surface or the unique top layer pattern. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
