Frequently Asked Questions - NorGranite 86.50 2B BK NODOR

How to install the NorGranite sink?

Turn the sink upside down on the countertop, trace the outline, then an inner line at 10 mm for the cutout. Cut the opening, seal the edges with waterproof sealant, apply silicone under the rim, place the sink and secure with the clips, tightening gradually.

What type of sealant to use for waterproofing?

Use a kitchen silicone. Do not use putty or epoxy adhesive.

How to drill a hole for the faucet?

Identify the pre-marked holes under the sink. Use a 35 mm hole saw drilling first from underneath, then finish from above for a clean hole. Cool the bit with water if necessary.

What tools are needed for installation?

Ruler/tape measure, pencil, masking tape, safety glasses, silicone, screwdriver, hammer, hole saw, drill and jigsaw with appropriate blade.

How to clean the sink daily?

Wash with warm water and a mild non-abrasive detergent, using a soft cloth or woven nylon pad.

How to remove limescale stains?

Apply white vinegar with a non-abrasive pad, let sit for 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Can the sink be used as a cutting board?

No, never use it as a cutting board as this may scratch the composite granite surface.

What countertop thickness is compatible?

The provided clips are suitable for countertops 30 to 40 mm thick. For other thicknesses, adjustments are necessary.

How to secure the sink to the countertop?

Apply silicone under the rim, position the sink in the opening, then pivot the clips to fold them down and tighten the screws in a cross pattern, starting with the front, then the back, then the sides.

What to do in case of a leak after installation?

Check that the clips are tight, the silicone seal is uniform, and the drain connections are watertight. Fill the sink with water and inspect for leaks, then retighten if necessary.

Notes

• During installation, take care to protect the sink from scuffs 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 fixtures connected to the sink.
• Carefully check that the moulding and edges of the sink are dead level so that water will flow off the drainer.
• The clamping brackets are suitable for worktops of between 30–40 mm thickness (Fig. 1.1). If your worktop is a different size then it may require packing under the clamps or rebating (Fig. 1.2).

Preparing the Worktop

Marking Out the Opening

We recommend that you fit the sink to the worktop before permanently fixing 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 (Fig. 1.3). Remove the sink.
2. Draw another line 10 mm inside the sink top outline – this is the cutting line for the opening (Fig. 1.4).
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. 1.5).

Preparing the Sink

Tap Hole Preparation

Drilling a pre-marked hole for taps

• Before drilling please read safety instructions supplied with hole saw.
• The front face must be fully supported to prevent cracking when drilling or cutting.
• WARNING!

Any machining operation will produce fine particles of dust. Drilling or cutting MUST be carried out in a well-ventilated area.

1. Identify which pre-marked tap hole(s) you will require.
2. Using a hole saw, drill out the tap hole part way from the underside of the sink (Fig. 1.6). Finish drilling the hole from the upper surface of the sink to ensure a clean hole.
3. It may be necessary to cool the tip of the drill with water to prevent burning. For this reason we recommend the use of a rechargeable drill. Take special care if using a mains electric drill around water.
4. Attach the tap, waste and overflow (where required) to the sink according to the manufacturer's instructions.

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 flange. For final fit, make sure each sink clip is pulled back as shown in Fig. 1.7. Position the sink into the work top opening.

Secure the sink by pivoting the sink clips into the position Fig. 1.8 and tighten screws in the front, then tighten rear and side screws.

Waste Fittings

Fit the waste fittings to the sink using the instructions supplied with them. Apply a uniform bead of silicone onto the underside of the rim of the sink, 1/4 inch from the outer edges of the rim.

Fitting the Sink

1. Turn the sink upside down and lay the

worktop over the sink. Swing each clip into place – this is the most effective method, although if the worktop has been fitted to the cabinet the sink can be placed in the opening and fixed in position from underneath.

1. Centre the sink. Tighten the fixing screws in the sequence shown in Fig. 1.9.

• DO NOT TIGHTEN FULLY AT FIRST ATTEMPT.

1. Remove any surplus sealing material or wipe away any excess sealant.

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 the sink is clean.

Hard Water, Calcium and Lime Deposits:

Wipe with a non-abrasive woven nylon pad and white vinegar. Rinse after 20 minutes.

- 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.
