5. Installatie en installatie
This sink is designed for drop-in installation. Follow these general steps for installation. Refer to your faucet and drain assembly instructions for specific details on those components.
- Bereid het aanrechtblad voor: If installing in a new countertop, use the provided template (if included with your sink or faucet) to mark and cut the opening. Ensure the opening is clean and smooth.
- Kraan en afvoer monteren: Before dropping the sink into the countertop, install the faucet and drain assembly onto the sink according to their respective manufacturer's instructions. This is typically easier to do before the sink is in place.
- Afdichtmiddel aanbrengen: Apply a continuous bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the underside rim of the sink that will contact the countertop. This creates a watertight seal.
- Plaats de gootsteen: Carefully lower the sink into the countertop opening, ensuring it is centered and aligned. Press down firmly to seat the sink into the sealant.
- Bevestig de gootsteen: From underneath the countertop, attach and tighten the mounting clips or fasteners provided with your sink or faucet. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the china.
- Connect Water Supply and Drain: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet and the drain pipe to the drain assembly. Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use an adjustable wrench for a final quarter-turn to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
- Test op lekken: Turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Run water into the sink and check the drain connections. Tighten any leaking connections as necessary.

6. Bediening
The PROFLO PF194R Rockaway sink operates like any standard bathroom sink. Use the faucet handles to control water flow and temperature. The integrated overflow is designed to prevent water from spilling over the rim if the main drain becomes blocked. However, it is not a primary drainage system and should not be relied upon to prevent flooding if the faucet is left running unattended.
7. Onderhoud en verzorging
To maintain the pristine appearance and longevity of your PROFLO PF194R sink, follow these care instructions:
- Regelmatig schoonmaken: Wipe the sink surface with a dry, soft cloth after each use to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
- Grondige reiniging: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaner and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry immediately.
- Vermijd schuurmiddelen: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., strong acids, bleach, ammonia-based cleaners) as these can damage the vitreous china finish.
- Voorkom vlekken: Promptly wipe away any spills, especially those from cosmetics, hair dyes, or other staining agents.
- Controleer op lekken: Periodically inspect the plumbing connections under the sink for any signs of leaks or drips. Address any issues promptly to prevent water damage.
8. Probleemoplossing
Hier zijn enkele veelvoorkomende problemen en hun mogelijke oplossingen:
| Probleem | Mogelijke oorzaak | Oplossing |
