CE Declaration of Conformity:
Having regard to the Council Directive 89/109/EEC of 21st December
1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating
to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstus,
we declare that the materials composing the sink meet the above-
mentioned directives, in particular the EU Food Contact Regulation
(90/128/EEC and 89/109/EEC along with amendments 92/39/ EEC and
93/9/EEC).
Taking Care of Your Sink
Your CDA sink is manufactured using material developed specifically to
withstand the rigours of everyday kitchen use. However, we advise you
to follow these precautions to keep the sink in pristine condition:
• Do not use a plastic washing-up bowl in the sink as grit and other
particles may become embedded in the bowl and scratch
or erode the sink surface. CDA specifically recommend the use of
wire sink-baskets and drainer-racks to help protect your sink. Take
care to not cut the plastic coating on these accessories with sharp
cutlery or the edges of pans, etc.
• Do not use neat bleach or other harsh cleaning agents on the metal
sink waste as this may cause tarnishing. This is especially important
if the waste is either solid brass or brass plated.
• Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the sink as they may
scratch or damage the surface.
• The surface of the sink can be aected by certain chemicals e.g. neat
bleach, nail polish remover, paint stripper, solvents, brush cleaner and
insecticides. If any of these substances come into contact with the
3
sink, wipe o immediately with a dry cloth, wash with mild detergent
and rinse with water.
• Do not use abrasive liquids, powders or steel pads to clean the sink
as they will damage the sink surface and make it more susceptible to
staining. The sink may be cleaned with a dilute bleach solution.
• Do not place very hot objects directly on the sink, place them on a
special surface (board) made from wood or heat-proof plastic, etc.
• If the sink comes into contact with acidic materials, rinse immediately
with plenty of water and wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• In hard-water areas, a limescale deposit may build up on the sink.
The limescale may become stained by coloured foods such as coee
or red wine. If this occurs, we recommend use of a mild limescale
remover.
• Particularly stubborn organic stains can be removed eectively by
soaking the sink in a biological washing-powder solution, dishwasher
powder solution or diluted bleach.
• Do not leave rusty objects in contact with the sink. Rust can cause
staining, cracking or even permanent damage to the sink surface.
• To avoid staining of the surface do not leave food or other materials
with corrosive properties such as juices, salt, vinegar, mustard etc. on
the sink for a long time.
• After using the sink, rinse it clean with warm soapy water and rinse
with clean water before wiping dry.
• During installation, protect from scratches, scus and other damage.
• Do not overtighten or strain plumbing fittings.
• The moulding and edges of the sink must be absolutely level so
water flows o the drainer.

Installation
Before Installation
Oer up the sink to the worktop and/or the cabinets to confirm that
the external dimensions of the bowl are compatible with the cabinets
themselves.
Confirm that with the sink in position:
• There is adequate space to install any taps or other required
accessories.
• There is adequate space to install the waste pipework and that any
necessary modification to internal shelves to accommodate the waste
(and trap) is acceptable.
• Access to any water stop-cock or other services will still be adequate
after the installation.
Cutting the tap hole
Only cut the tap hole from the underside of the sink.
• Select the tap hole position based on whether left hand or right hand
drainer is required.
• Locate the centre of the required tap hole and cut it out using a
suitable 35mm diameter hole cutter (available from most plumbers
merchants or DIY stores).
• Caution: Ensure that the sink is safely supported around the hole
to be cut out.

Installation
• Place the sink upside-down on the worktop where it will be mounted.
• Draw the perimeter of the sink on the worktop with a pencil.
• Remove the sink and draw a dotted line, 1cm inside the perimeter.
• Double check the marking out and positioning before starting to cut
the worktop.
• Make the cutout with suitable tools along the dotted line.
• After cutting out the worktop aperture, we recommend you seal the
cut edges with silicone (or similar) sealant to help prevent ingress of
water.
• It is often easier to mount the taps, waste-fitting and overflow onto the
sink prior to fitting the sink to the worktop (see next page for assembly
of supplied waste system).
• Position the sink on the worktop, bedding it onto the supplied seal
strip (Fig. 1).
• The taps, waste-fitting and overflow can now be mounted onto
the sink (if not already done)
and fully connected to their
respective services.
• Assemble the supplied waste
and overflow fittings as shown
(Fig. 2) and insert into the sink
from above (Fig. 3). NOTE: do
not use silicone sealant.

• To check the waste for leaks, close the plug/basket of the waste
fitting, open the tap and fill the sink to the level of the overflow; turn
o the tap and wait several minutes to verify that the water doesn’t
drain away.
• Empty the sink.
If a washing machine or dishwasher is going to be installed beneath
the sink top:
• Before installing the washing machine or dishwasher, make sure
that all of the fastening brackets for the sink top have been fastened
securely.
• To prevent overheating, which may result in the deformation and
consequent detachment of the sink from the top, adjust the feet on
the washing machine/dishwasher so that there is sucient ventilation
between the top of the appliance and the sink. To aid the circulation
and cooling of the air, it is recommended that ventilation slots be made
in the cabinet base.
