screws through the brackets.
Fit the hob. Refer to the
manufacturer’s handbook.
Fit the sink. Finish plumbing.
Wear a suitable dustmask
when cutting MDF
Worktops
Cutting- It is recommended that the
surface of the laminate is scored with
a knife and then cut with a fine
toothed saw. Take great care moving
a worktop with a sink cut-out as the
cut-out makes it weak.
Sealing- All cut edges where raw
chipboard is exposed on both the
worktop and the carcase must be
sealed with a moisture resistant sealer
such as gloss paint, varnish or
silicone sealant.
Edging- If aluminium end
caps/jointing strips are to be used,
the cut edge should be sealed. The
edging strip supplied with the worktop
should be glued to the cut end with
contact adhesive. Excess edging can
be trimmed off using a metal file.
