Thank you for choosing St Michel bathroom furniture. We are here to help you to achieve the outcomes you want so we’d like to offer you some guidance around the installation process. Planning this and ensuring the correct guidelines are followed is not only vital to ensuring you’re happy with the end result and that the bathroom is properly functional and will stand the test of time. It will also make the process as smooth as possible by minimising the possibility of any misunderstandings and installation mistakes by your builder or plumber.

Your role in the project

We understand that creating or upgrading your bathroom is not a simple matter and that you’ll need to rely on professional tradespeople. That said, it’s important you take an active role in over-seeing the project.

Please read the guideline overview on the next page. This will ensure you provide your installer with the information required so he/she:

1. Properly understands your desired bathroom layout.

2. Understands that you expect your furniture to be installed to St Michel’s guidelines.

Ensuring your bathroom is covered by our warranty

Another reason to ensure your installation professional follows our guidelines, is not doing so could affect your warranty cover should anything go wrong now or in the future.

Guideline Overview

Section 6Specifications General product specifications - while not necessary for installation this information could be useful to your installer, so it doesn’t hurt to provide this as well.

PLANNING : SITE PREPARATIONIMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

When deciding on the position of the furniture, be sure to arrange the product at least 150mm from any wet areas such as baths, spas and showers. Ensure that the floor is level (floor mounted) and that the wall is straight and plumb.

NOTE : Do not expose furniture to shower spray - A goodquality shower screen must be fitted to the bath or showerto keep the furniture dry and to prevent water damage.

POSITIONING

WallsWhen installing a tower to a wall, it is essentialthat the wall is plumb and straight. If it is not possible to make the wall plumb and straight you must pack the cabinet out so that it does not follow the out of aligned wall.

WARNING : Fixing the vanity on a wall that is not plumb and straight will result in the following :

- Cabinet will twist out of alignment and not be plumb.

- Drawers will not function as designed. i.e. They will appear racked, will not run correctly or smoothly and if self-closing, will not close on their own.

- Doors will not align or be able to be adjusted to align.

Remove the doors and/or drawers to provide access to the inside rear wall of the tower (note that all hinges are quick release for easy removal).

We recommend fixing the tower at an average of 200mm off from the floor. Adjust accordingly for height preference.

WARNING : Do not secure the cabinet to the wall until the cabinet is sitting level, plumb and square. Use suitable packing to achieve this if the wall cannot be aligned.

Position cabinet and check that it is sitting level, plumb and square.

Screw FixingWe recommend using a minimum of two fixings at the top and two fixings at the bottom of the tower. Screws and cover caps are supplied.
