CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR GRANITE SINK
AVOID CONTACT WITH HARSH CHEMICALS AND HOT SURFACES
Do not clean using harsh abrasives! Rinse and dry your sink daily.
GENERAL CARE & REGULAR MAINTENANCE:
• Clean daily with warm water, liquid detergent and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry.
• Abrasive cleaning powders or creams should not be used, nor chemically aggressive cleaning agents.
• General stains should to removed immediately.
• Marks caused by foods or liquid which stain easily, eg. tea, coffee, fruit juice and the like, must be
removed immediately with very hot water and a cleaning product.
• Special stains, such as those caused by Indian ink, oil-based stains or paints, must be removed
immediately. If these stains are difficult to remove, use a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol.
• For organic stains which are especially difficult to remove, it is recommended that you fill the sink
with a highly diluted organic cleaner such as bleach and let stand overnight. The next morning,
rinse with warm water and a soft cloth. Alternatively a soft brush (eg. old tooth brush) and a mild
cream cleaner can be used - but only with light pressure so as not to damage the surface finish.
IMPORTANT PRODUCT CARE INFORMATION:
• Avoid placing pots, pans or other hot objects in excess of 280°C on the surface of the sink.
(CAUTION! The bottom of a pot or pan just removed from a stove top burner can reach
temperatures of over 600°C).
• Pots, pans and other hot objects must be placed on appropriate potholders (made of wood, rubber,
or other suitable material). Avoid causing excessive thermal shock due to the presence of very hot
and very cold objects on the sink at the same time.
• Do not use the sink as a cutting surface: rather, use a cutting board made of hardwood or
polyethylene, which can be purchased together with the sink.
• The use of stainless steel dish baskets or surface protectors (which can be purchased together with
the sink) can reduce the risk of accidental damage.
• Do not use abrasive substances or metal cleaning pads (steel wool) to clean the sink because they
scratch the surface, making it susceptible to stains.
• Heavy or pointed objects that fall on the surface of the sink can damage it.
• CAUTION! Do not pour alcohol, gasoline, trichloroacetic acid or any other solvents into or onto the
sink because they could react with the chemical structure of the sink and damage it beyond repair.
AVOID BREAKAGES
Granite sinks can be scratched or
broken if proper care is not taken
during installation.
CHECK CONDITION OF THE SINK
Inspect the sink for any visible
defects. Do not install the sink if
defects are found. Contact your
sink retailer/point of purchase.
CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER INSTALLATION.
Any advice, recommendation, information, assistance or service provided by Oliveri Solutions in relation to goods
manufactured by it or their use and installation, is given in good faith and is believed by Oliveri Solutions to be

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THE ACTUAL SINK BE PRESENT WHEN THE
COUNTER/BENCHTOP IS CUT OUT AS A REFERENCE FOR ACCURACY
WARNING
Manufactured stone products do not present a health hazard themselves, however, the
process of cutting, drilling or grinding can release silica dust particles which if inhaled
can be very hazardous to your health and cause SILICOSIS.
DRILLING, CUTTING OR GRINDING ENGINEERED STONE PRODUCTS IS PROHIBITED.
Modification of
ranite inks in any way will void warranty.
WASTE DISPOSAL UNITS
Waste disposal units can be fitted to Oliveri’s Granite Sinks. However, faulty or damaged waste disposal
units can cause vibration, which may lead to sink damage and will void warranty.
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.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO INSTALL AN OLIVERI GRANITE SINK
IF COUNTER / BENCHTOP IS SUPPLIED WITH CUT-OUT, SKIP STEPS MARKED WITH*
TF158e - Granite Sink Installation Instructions
CHECK SPACE
Ensure there is adequate space for tapware (including a splashback if
specified). 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 flange or basins.
TEMPLATE *
Cut-out templates for your Oliveri sink are available online at oliveri.com.au
Use the product model number to find the template. Some sink templates
apply to both left-hand and right-hand models. Ensure template is the
correct way around for your model.
MARK CUT OUT *
Carefully mark out the template (or follow drawing instructions) making
allowance for any additional polishing back that is required after cutting.
NOTE: The template is the exact finished cut-out size required.
CUT & FINISH HOLE *
Drill pilot holes to accept an appropriate cutting tool for the counter/
benchtop material (wear suitable personal protection equipment). Cut
inside the mark, allowing sufficient material for any sanding and polishing
back if required. NOTE: Accuracy of the cutout shape is essential to
ensure visual alignment with the bowl / basin perimeter and so any
accessories fit correctly.
TRIAL FIT THE SINK
Carefully position the sink against counter/benchtop to make sure it fits the
cut-out correctly. If the fit is not correct, remove the sink and proceed with
remedial work. Perform another trial fit after corrections have been made.
APPLY SEALANT
Oliveri recommends using the sealant strip (supplied with the sink), to seal
between the sink and the benchtop. However, if silicone is used, it MUST
be a “Neutral Cure” product – the use of “Acetic Cure” silicone can
damage or discolour the sink and will void warranty.
DO NOT INSTALL USING EPOXY ADHESIVES
Should a genuine warranty claim arise for a sink installed using this method, Oliveri will cover the
replacement cost of the sink only and not the cost of sink removal or reinstallation. If you have
any doubts, confirm the correct mounting method for your material by consulting the
counter/benchtop supplier.
TOPMOUNT INSTALLATION
UNDERMOUNT INSTALLATION
Special seal
Sink
3. Countertop
4. Mounting bracket suitable for countertop of thickness from 30mm to 40mm.
The special seal (1) should be placed carefully onto the upper surface of the benchtop, on the edge
of the cut out. Press down on it lightly so that it sticks to the surface Carefully lower the sink
into the cut out and onto the seal. Fasten the mounting brackets (4) to the sink from below as
shown, using the screws provided. Then tighten the mounting bracket with a screwdriver, making
sure that the sink is pulled down towards the benchtop and compresses the seal (1).
NOTE: Do not overtighten the mounting bracket screws. Once the sink is installed, carefully trim
any excess seal from around the perimeter of the sink.
Apply the special seal around the upper edge of the sink surface. Carefully bolt the sink to the underside
of the benchtop using the “Molly” assemblies. Care must be taken during drilling and tightening to
avoid cracking the benchtop or sink.
If you have any doubts, confirm the correct mounting method for your benchtop material by
consulting the benchtop supplier.

BASKET WASTE & OVERFLOW INSTALLATION
After the sink is installed, fit the basket waste into the hole in the sink and
attach the appropriate (regular or overflowed) drain body from under the bowl.
DO NOT USE SILICON ADHESIVE. Fasten basket waste to the drain using the
screw provided. Do not overtighten. For overflowed sinks, install the overflow
grate through the bowl cut-out and connect the overflow pipe to the
overflowed basket waste drain.
