FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO INSTALL THE OLIVERI TOP MOUNT SINK
IF COUNTER / BENCHTOP IS SUPPLIED WITH CUT-OUT, SKIP STEPS MARKED WITH*
ADDITIONAL SEALANT
Apply additional sealant / caulking compound around the join where the counter/
benchtop and the stainless steel sink meet. Check that the caulking product is
mildew resistant and is suitable for use on the counter/benchtop material and also
is suitable for use on stainless steel. Clean away any excess before it dries. Note:
Additional sealant should always be used if gaps are apparent after the sink has
been clamped to the counter/benchtop
FITTING THE SINK If you choose to mount the tap / faucet onto the sink prior
to tting, take extra care as it will change the weight and balance of the sink.
Position and align the sink correctly in the cutout and lower it onto the counter/
benchtop. From underneath, tighten the clips with a screwdriver using a suitable
tightening sequence (tighten from the centre of the sink to the outer edge) until
the sink is secure and no gaps are visible. Take extra care if using power tools as
over-tightening can damage clips.
FINAL CHECK OF FOAM SEAL With the sink tightened down. Visually conrm
the foam seal is not protruding anywhere underneath. If it does, undo all the
clips, reposition the foam seal and tighten down again. If the foam seal has been
damaged, replace the damaged section. If the tap/faucet was mounted prior to
tting – check that the position is correct.
PLUMBING & TAPWARE
IMPORTANT - Connections to plumbing should always be done by a licensed
plumber. Fit supplied basket wastes to sink bowls. Install tapware according to
manufacturer’s instructions. Care should be taken when tting wastes to the sink.
Follow the instructions provided with the wastes.
DO’s
• Clean with soap & water (towel dry)
• Clean along the grain of the Stainless Stee
• Use a soft brush or sponge (old tooth brush)
• Wipe over with a glass cleaner (Windex is very good)

• Beware of harsh liquid cleaners
• Beware of grit within cloths and mineral deposits within water
• Avoid prolonged exposure to acids from Fruit, Fruit juices, Salts, Spirits, Bleach, Tea-bags
• Avoid prolonged contact with ordinary steel which can rust Tin Cans, Steelwool
• Do not keep harsh (acids or chlorine) chemicals under sink / laundry tub
• Do not leave chlorine/chloride chemicals on stainless steel surface
• Do not leave liquid soaps & cleaners to dry on stainless steel

CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR OLIVERI STAINLESS STEEL SINK
AVOID CONTACT WITH ROUGH OR DIRTY SURFACES as new polished stainless steel will show scratches!
CHECK SPACE & LEVEL
Use a level to check the counter/benchtop – if not level, have rectied. Ensure
there is adequate space for tapware (including a splash back if specied). Check
space for installation (underneath) and operation (above). Particular care must be
taken when a thick splash back is used (it may interfere with tapware location and
operation). Ensure the cabinet will not foul the sink mounting ange or basins.
TEMPLATE *
Cut out templates for your Oliveri sink are available online at oliverisinks.com.
Use the product model number to nd the template. Some sink templates apply
to both left-hand and right-hand models sinks. Ensure template is correct way
around for your model. (If no template is available, carefully invert the sink over
the counter/benchtop and trace around it.)
MARK CUT OUT *
Carefully mark out the template (or follow drawing instructions). Once the hole is
marked out, use the template to conduct a nal check before cutting.
IMPORTANT
If you have traced the sink itself to mark your cut out, the hole must be cut
10mm inside the marked line.
CUT & FINISH HOLE *
Re-check the position and cut out shape you have traced before cutting. Ensure
there are no obstacles below that might interfere with cutting. Drill pilot holes
to accept an appropriate cutting tool for the counter/benchtop material (wear
suitable personal protection equipment). Cut just inside the template mark (or
10mm inside the sink tracing).
TRIAL FIT THE SINK
Check that all clips are folded in so they will adequately clear the cut-out.
Carefully position the sink into the cut-out to make sure it ts correctly. If the t is
not correct, remove the sink and proceed with remedial work. Perform another
trial t after corrections have been made.
MASKING
If using a sealant, masking is necessary to prevent sealant overrun. It is
recommended that the edge of the sink and the edge of the cutout are both
covered with a suitable masking tape. This tape should be removed within 2 days
of application.
CHECK FOAM SEAL
Make sure the foam seal is intact and ts all the way around the sink with no gaps
visible. This will ensure a water tight seal when the sink is properly tightened
down to the counter/benchtop.
PR/SN models require sealant only and do not include a foam seal.
