This manual provides installation and maintenance instructions for the Better Bathrooms Kobe and Cali wall-hung vanity units. Please note that the installation requires three-person assembly. Always check for cables and pipes before drilling into walls. The provided screws and plugs are suitable for solid walls only; if installing on other wall types, you must use appropriate fixings. The room must be well-ventilated, and the unit should be wiped dry to remove splashes and standing water.
Component Listing

Installation Instructions
1. Preparation: Open the package and remove the product. Ensure you have all necessary tools: silicone adhesive, spirit level, tape measure, power drill, and a screwdriver.
2. Mounting: Check the levelness of the wall and confirm the installation location. Use a spirit level to ensure the installation holes are aligned. Use an electric drill to make holes, insert the expansion bolts, and fix the bathroom cabinet to the wall using the provided screws.
3. Finishing: Install the waste into the basin. Apply sealant to the edges along the wall to prevent water ingress. Allow the sealant to stand for 24 hours before using the unit.
Maintenance, Care & Cleaning
For regular cleaning of both glossy and matte finishes, use widely available cleaning products. For matte finishes, a mildly abrasive product may be used occasionally. Wipe the surface with a soft cloth after each use.
Repairing Stubborn Stains and Scratches:
- Use water to remove dirt and dust.
- Sand lightly in small circular motions using 800 grit sandpaper.
- Follow with 1200 grit sandpaper, sanding lightly until smooth.
- Dry with a towel.
- For glossy finishes, polish with a cloth and an automotive polishing compound (e.g., 3M Extra Cut Compound).
