4.2 étapes d'installation
- Préparer le plan de travail : Place the sink upside down on the countertop in the desired position. Trace the outline of the sink onto the countertop. Carefully measure and mark the cutting line, ensuring it is slightly inside the sink's rim to allow for proper support.
- Coupez l'ouverture : Using a jigsaw or appropriate cutting tool, carefully cut along the marked line. Ensure the edges are smooth.
- Install Faucet and Accessories (Optional): If your sink has pre-drilled holes for a faucet or other accessories, install them now according to their respective manuals.
- Attach Waste Kits: Assemble the waste kits for both bowls. This typically involves placing the strainer into the drain hole, securing it with a rubber gasket and nut from underneath. Connect the overflow pipe to the designated opening in the main bowl.
- Appliquer le produit d'étanchéité : Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the sink opening on the underside of the sink rim. This will create a watertight seal between the sink and the countertop.
- Positionnez l'évier : Carefully lower the sink into the countertop opening. Ensure it is properly aligned. Press down firmly to engage the sealant.
- Sécurisez l'évier : From underneath the countertop, attach the mounting clips/fasteners to the sink rim and tighten them evenly. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the sink or countertop.
- Connecter la plomberie : Connect the waste pipes from the sink bowls to your household drainage system. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
- Test de fuites : Run water into both sink bowls and check all connections for any signs of leakage. Address any leaks immediately.

6.1 Nettoyage quotidien
- Après chaque utilisation, rincez soigneusement l'évier à l'eau claire pour éliminer les particules alimentaires et les résidus de savon.
- Essuyez l'évier avec un chiffon doux pour éviter les traces d'eau et l'accumulation de minéraux, surtout dans les régions où l'eau est dure.
