Vanity Unit Installation (responsibility of the installer) 1 Carefully remove cabinet drawer(s) and/or door(s) and cover runners before installation to avoid damage. If top has not been fixed to vanity, remove it from vanity. 2 Using a hole saw, drill holes for water supply pipes, wastes etc. 3 Carefully move cabinet into place. Pack vanity to required height ensuring vanity top is level from side to side and front to back. Packers may be required behind the unit to ensure top is level and to prevent unit from twisting. 4 Once the vanity is level, fasten it to the wall using washers around the appropriate fixings ie. screws, bolts (not supplied by CIBO). Top Washer Back Wall Timber Studs It is the installers responsibility to determine what fixing materials are needed. Fixings should be made as high as possible on unit, with more emphasis placed on the top fixings. 5 Detach the chocks (melamine feet) from the underside of the vanity (if applicable). They are simply pinned into the carcass and may be removed with a chisel and pliers. 6 Sweep debris from interior of unit and remove bubble wrap/plastic from drawer runners (if applicable). Replace door(s) and/or drawer(s) and adjust hinges if necessary. 7 If the top was removed in step 1, now replace on unit ensuring front and ends of top line up with front and ends of unit. This may leave gaps between top and wall. Fix top to vanity with silicone. 8 The unit must be sealed (along the back edge of top and down the sides) against the wall with bathroom quality silicone. The best method of applying silicone is to cut the appropriate sized tip at a 65 angle and to evenly run a bead around the unit ensuring all gaps are filled. Seal around the cabinet with silicone. 9 Spray soapy water on the silicone joint (between the wall and top) to stop silicone sticking to wall, then wipe off excess silicone and soapy water. 10 Pipes can now be connected, and where necessary the basin siliconed to the vanity. Basins must be sealed completely around the join. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ADJUST THE DOOR(S) AND/OR DRAWER(S) AFTER INSTALLATION. IMPORTANT NOTES 1 CIBO Design vanity cabinets are manufactured from Moisture Resistant (MR) materials but are not waterproof. Care must be taken to dry spillages or leakage of water that may gain access to cabinetry. Accurate sealing of the cabinet and kickboard (where applicable) is vital for proper maintenance of the product and ensuring longevity. 2 Wall Hung Vanities: When fixing vanity unit to wall, use washers around the top fixing positions. This will decrease pressure applied to the screw head. In situations where a wall is out of square, the installer may be required to use packers behind the vanity to ensure the unit does not become twisted during installation. 3 Vanities with Kicks: Kick should fit snugly with the floor and may require trimming with an electric planer if floor is not entirely flat. Packers may also be required to ensure cabinet is level from left to right as well as front to back. Seal around kick with bathroom quality silicone to avoid water gaining access from floor and/or walls. 4 Under no circumstances should vanities and/or tops be tiled into the wall. CIBO vanities and basin/tops must be fitted to finished/completed wall coverings e.g., tile, masonry or other cladding method deemed acceptable, as per the building code (of Australia) 2013. The CIBO Warranty does not cover any vanity and/or top and/or basin that has been tiled into a wall i.e., fitting or fixing a vanity to a wall and tiling around it, and/or tiling down and/or around the vanity and top/basin.

Vanity Unit - Type A Drawer Removal/Replacement/Adjustment (responsibility of the installer) It s vital that the runners are covered during the installation process as debris may cause the runners to malfunction. Aluminium sides (black or white) - Type A 1 To remove drawer from the vanity, open the drawer to halfway. 2 Locate the red locking devices underneath the drawer (on both sides). 3 Squeeze the red levers and pull the drawer forward i.e. away from the vanity. The drawer should have released from the runners. Lift the drawer up and continue to extract the drawer from the unit. 4 Once the drawer has been removed, push the runners back into the unit to avoid damaging the runners. To ensure that debris does not fall into the runner mechanism during drilling etc. cover runners with bubble wrap or plastic. Drawer Replacement (responsibility of the installer) 1 Pull runners out all the way. Simply place drawer evenly on the runners halfway along and close. 2 As you close, the locking devices will automatically engage (you should hear them click ) and self-align. 3
Vanity Unit - Type A Drawer Front Adjustment (responsibility of the installer) 1 To adjust the drawer front use the small dial at front base of each runner. Special Notes Vanities that are between two walls (or against a wall to the left or right) It s sometimes necessary to construct the unit with a removable trimming piece or filler on the side(s) of the cabinet. This is to allow the installer to trim the filler should the walls be out of level. It also is necessary where drawers are against a wall to prevent the drawers scraping on the wall. Units that are between two walls even when check measured are unlikely to fit immediately. The fillers should be removed by unscrewing the internal screws. The fillers can be trimmed with an electric planer to ensure a snug fit. Once the fillers have been trimmed, they are simply reattached to the vanity with the original screws. Vanity Units with a height less than 250mm THESE UNITS ARE SUPPLIED WITH A PAIR OF LARGE METAL ANGLED BRACKETS. 1 Remove vanity drawer and cover runners (refer to page 3). 2 Detach the chocks (melamine feet) from the underside of the vanity (if applicable). They are simply pinned into the carcass and can be removed with a chisel and pliers. 3 The unit is to be placed onto the brackets. Calculate the finished height of the basin and work space out where the bottom of the unit will be (in terms of height). The brackets should be fitted at this level. 4 Screw-fix metal brackets to wall making sure to fix into studs or ample support behind it. 5 Place vanity (without drawer, refer page 2/3) onto metal brackets and screw fix the vanity to the wall. 6 Remove all debris from drilling etc. in the vanity cavity; uncover runners and replace drawer. 7 Seal around unit with silicone. 4

FAQs 1 Doors Not Lining Up? Problem: When doors are removed from the cabinet or if excessive pressure is applied while opening or closing doors, the doors may become unaligned. Solution: Adjusting the hinges will realign the door. Please refer to page 6 or 8. 2 Drawer Fronts Not Lining Up? Problem: When drawers are removed from the cabinet or if excessive pressure is applied while opening or closing drawers, this may result in drawer front becoming unaligned. Solution: Drawer fronts can be adjusted. Please refer to page 5 or 7. 3 Drawer(s) not closing properly? Problem: When drawer does not close, this may be due to: a An obstruction behind b Drawer not engaged c Debris in runner d Twisted cabinet Solution: Remove any obstruction; blow out runners and replace drawer on runners. Push drawer back into cabinet until the runners engage (you will hear them click). If the vanity is twisted, please see following point. 4 Twisted Cabinet? Problem: If a cabinet is installed on a wall that is out of square (not flat), the cabinet may become twisted and result in the door(s) and/or drawer(s) not lining up correctly. Solution: Using packers at fixation points of cabinet to wall will ensure the back of the cabinet remains square (flat). Depending on severity of the twist, you may need to adjust doors and drawers individually (see FAQ 1 and/or 2). 11

Product Care & Maintenance - Basins, Tops & Cabinets It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure the product is installed and maintained appropriately. Ceramic We recommend regular cleaning with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks or stains use a small amount of a mild abrasive cleanser such as Jif cream with a damp cloth. Polymarble We recommend regular cleaning with a damp cloth, or warm soapy (a mild detergent) water and a damp cloth. Glass Best practice is to clean glass with a small amount of warm water and a Micro cloth. When finished, wipe dry with Micro cloth. Never use caustic chemicals, razor blades, putty knives or abrasive pads as they may damage the glass surface. Mirrors Care must be taken when cleaning glass and mirror, we recommend clean, warm water used with a Micro (soft, lint-free) cloth. Wring out all water before wiping glass and mirror. Dry immediately with a dry Micro (soft, lint-free) cloth. Do not use acid, alkali or abrasive cleaners (including commercial mirror cleaners that contain ammonia or vinegar) on the mirror surface. Care should be taken to avoid contacting mirror edges with any liquid. CaesarStone CaesarStone is a 91%-95% quartz based product that has properties to ensure ease of maintenance and longevity of the surface. CaesarStone requires very little maintenance to keep the surface looking like new. For everyday routine cleaning CaesarStone recommend wiping the surface with warm soapy water (a mild detergent) and a damp cloth or alternatively use a quality spray-and-wipe type cleaner. Extra stubborn dried spills and stains For removal of these or if you wish to give your CaesarStone top a thorough clean we recommend CaesarStone brand Cream Cleanser and a 3M Scotchbrite Never Scratch All-Purpose Scrubber which can be used without damaging the stone, or alternatively apply with a soft damp cloth. To remove adhered materials like nail polish, first scrape away the excess with a sharp blade. If there are any grey metal marks on the surface, a mild detergent will remove it. CaesarStone brand Cream Cleanser is available online from www.caesarstone.com.au Polishing As CaesarStone is non-porous; it will keep its lustrous gloss and ultra smooth surface without polishing. And it never needs sealing. Tough? Yes. Indestructible? No. As with any surface, CaesarStone can be permanently damaged by exposure to strong chemicals and solvents that undermine its physical properties. Do not use products that contain trichlorethane or methylene chloride, such as paint removers or strippers. Avoid any highly aggressive cleaning agents like oven cleaner that have high alkaline/ph levels. Should the surface be accidentally exposed to any of these damaging products, rinse immediately with water to neutralize the effect. Solid Surface material & Corian CIBO recommends wiping with a soapy sponge, followed by rinsing to care for Solid Surface and Corian material. Deep clean Stubborn stains For more stubborn stains you will need to occasionally give your Solid Surface material a more thorough clean we recommend Gumption paste. Firmly wipe the surface with a damp sponge or cloth with Gumption using a circular motion. Always finish by rinsing and wiping your surface with a damp cloth or sponge. The Vileda range of cloths and nonscratch scourers are also recommended. Light marks and scuffs Most light marks and scuffs may be removed by wiping your surface firmly with a damp sponge or cloth and a mild abrasive cleanser. Please be aware, using abrasive cleansers on your Solid Surface material may change your sheen level. Solid Surface should only be cleaned with Gumption or original Jif (yellow bottle). By routinely cleaning the entire surface consistency in sheen should return over time. Cabinets As cabinets may have a variety of different finishes, the most universal method of cleaning is to use a damp cotton cloth and a mild detergent. Never use an ammonia-based product or any kind of abrasive cleaning product. IMPORTANT NOTES Damage may occur if the products are constantly exposed to water. Silicone must be used to seal all joins tops, cabinet sides and kickboards must be sealed to prevent water penetration and ultimately, damage. 13
