Kitchen Centre Installation instructions
Decide on the location of the Kitchen Centre taking into account the services required, and
prepare the worktop for installation as shown in Fig. 2.
Supplied with the bowl is a silicone rubber seal, which should be fitted to the bowl prior to fitting
into the aperture. Place the bowl into the prepared aperture in the worktop, ensure that the seal
is seated correctly, and open the glass lid.
There are 3 fixing positions, 2 on either side of the bowl towards the rear and one at the front
which also serves as the glass lid stop, see Fig 1 for details.
Supplied with the bowl in a small plastic bag is the glass lid bump stop, used at the front, and
the washers and covers for the rear screws. The front bump stop should be secured with a
25mm long Nº 6 woodscrew and the washers at the rear with a 15mm long Nº 6 woodscrew.
Before screwing the bowl in place it is advisable to drill pilot holes into the worktop edge with a
2.5mm drill.
To ensure a good seal, firstly apply pressure in the base of the bowl and drill a pilot hole for
each of the fixing positions. It is advisable to slightly angle the drill down so that when the screw
is applied it pulls the bowl down to the worktop. Take care not to angle the drill by more than
about 10º otherwise the screw will apply uneven pressure around the fixing hole, which could
result in damage.
To ensure a good seal, firstly apply pressure in the base of the bowl towards the rear and fix the
two rear screws at either side of the bowl. Then apply pressure in the base of the bowl towards
the front and fix in the front screw complete with glass lid bump stop.
When the bowl is fully fixed, clip on the 2 grey domed screw covers at the rear.
