Main risks

• Tipping or coming away if the unit is not properly anchored or level.
• Fingers trapped in doors and drawers when closing.
• Deterioration due to humidity, leaks or standing water, which can cause swelling, mould and unpleasant odours.
• Damage to concealed pipes or cables when drilling walls during installation.
• Heavy objects falling from inside the unit or off the worktop due to overloading or poor weight distribution.
• Knocks against edges or corners in confined bathroom spaces.

Safe use

• Install the unit following the manufacturer’s instructions and use fixings suitable for the wall type; if in doubt about the wall or fixings, seek qualified help.
• Level the unit and check it is firmly secured before fitting the basin or loading it with items.
• Before drilling, check for pipes and cables in the wall using appropriate tools and methods.
• Do not stand, sit or hang on the unit, the worktop or the drawers.
• Distribute the load: place heavier items in the lower compartments and avoid overloading shelves and drawers.
• Open and close doors and drawers slowly to avoid trapped fingers and misalignment.
• Wipe up splashes and spills immediately, especially at joints and edges.
• Keep the seals between worktop, wall and basin in good condition to reduce water ingress.

Storage and maintenance

• Store cleaning products and cosmetics tightly closed; use trays or liners to prevent spills inside the unit.
• Avoid storing corrosive or strongly fragranced substances directly on unprotected surfaces.
• Clean with a soft cloth, slightly dampened, and dry afterwards; do not use abrasive scourers or products that may discolour or damage the finishes.
• Ventilate the bathroom regularly to reduce humidity and prevent mould.
• Periodically check screws, hinges, runners and fixings; tighten or replace parts if you notice play, noises or stiffness when opening/closing.
• Inspect the area beneath the basin and the trap for drips; repair any leak and dry the area as soon as possible.
• Avoid prolonged contact of the legs or base with standing water on the floor.

Restrictions of use

• Indoor use, in bathroom environments, keeping the unit away from sources of direct water (continuous jets or splashes) and intense heat.
• Do not use the unit as a step, bench, support to stand on, or for loads above those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not modify the structure or make additional holes that could weaken the unit or interfere with plumbing.
• Do not store very heavy items on high shelves if there is a risk of them falling when the door is opened.
• Keep cleaning products, sharp objects and small accessories that could be swallowed out of the reach of children.
• Supervise children in the bathroom and prevent them from hanging from doors, handles or drawers.
