Installationsanleitung
Bevor Sie beginnen
- Ensure you have all necessary tools: safety glasses, adjustable wrench, plumber's putty, silicone sealant, measuring tape, drill, and appropriate drill bits.
- Verify that your countertop is suitable for a vessel sink installation and has the required drain hole size.
- Machen Sie sich mit den örtlichen Bauvorschriften und -bestimmungen vertraut.
Schritt-für-Schritt-Installation
- Bereiten Sie die Arbeitsfläche vor: If a drain hole is not already present, mark and drill a 1.75-inch diameter hole in the desired location on your countertop. Ensure the hole is smooth and free of debris.
- Install the Mounting Ring: Place the rubber washer over the drain hole on the countertop. Position the metal mounting ring on top of the rubber washer, aligning it with the drain hole.
- Stellen Sie das Waschbecken auf: Carefully center the glass vessel sink over the mounting ring and drain hole. Ensure the sink is stable and level.
- Install the Pop-up Drain Assembly:
- Apply a thin bead of plumber's putty around the underside of the drain flange.
- Insert the drain assembly through the sink's drain opening.
- From underneath the countertop, thread the rubber washer, friction washer, and mounting nut onto the drain body. Tighten the nut by hand, then use an adjustable wrench to secure it firmly, but do not overtighten.

- Sanitäranschlüsse: Connect the P-trap and water supply lines to the faucet and drain assembly according to standard plumbing practices. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Spülbecken abdichten: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the base of the sink where it meets the countertop to prevent water infiltration. Allow the sealant to cure completely as per manufacturer instructions before use.
- Auf Dichtheit prüfen: Once the sealant has cured, slowly turn on the water supply and check all connections for leaks.

Pflege und Wartung
To maintain the appearance and integrity of your Kraus glass vessel sink, follow these care instructions:
- Regelmäßige Reinigung: Wischen Sie die Spülbeckenoberfläche nach jeder Benutzung mit einem weichen, trockenen Tuch ab, um Wasserflecken und Mineralablagerungen zu vermeiden.

- Vermeiden Sie aggressive Chemikalien: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemical products (e.g., ammonia-based cleaners, bleach) as these can damage the glass finish.
