VANITY, SHAVING & LINEN CABINET

Installation Instructions and Product Care & Maintenance

Delivery / Pick-up & InstallationPlease fully inspect your CIBO Design product within 24 hours of delivery (or pick up), prior to installation.

Vanities, basins, tops with integrated basins, waterplanes, baths and tapware must be installed by a Licensed Plumber.

If you believe the product is defective after inspecting it, do not proceed with installation – contact your place of purchase as soon as possible to advise of the issue.

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).

Vanity Unit Installation (responsibility of the installer)

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.

TimberStuds

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.IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ADJUST THE DOOR(S) AND/OR DRAWER(S) AFTER INSTALLATION.

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.

Vanity Unit - Type ADrawer Removal/Replacement/Adjustment (responsibility of the installer)

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.

2 As you close, the locking devices will automatically engage (you should hear them “click”) and self-align.

1 Pull runners out all the way. Simply place drawer evenly on the runners halfway along and close.

Drawer Replacement (responsibility of the installer)

Aluminium sides (black or white) - Type A

It’s vital that the runners are covered during the installation process as debris may cause the runners to malfunction.

Special NotesVanities 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.

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.

FAQs1 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).

CeramicWe 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.

PolymarbleWe recommend regular cleaning with a damp cloth, or warm soapy (a mild detergent) water and a damp cloth.

GlassBest 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.

MirrorsCare 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 stainsFor 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

PolishingAs 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 stainsFor 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 non-scratch scourers are also recommended.

Light marks and scuffsMost 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.

CabinetsAs 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.

Product Care & Maintenance - Basins, Tops & Cabinets

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.

It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure the product is installed and maintained appropriately.
