Tools and Materials
Important Information
- Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
- Provide your countertop manufacturer with your sink model number when ordering your countertop; ensure the correct cut-out template is used.
- For top-mount installations: The number of clips included with your sink may differ from the number of clips illustrated. Use all clips included with the sink.
- For top-mount installations: The fasteners included with the clip assembly will accommodate countertops up to 1-3/4″ (44 mm) thick. Longer fasteners are available for thicker countertops; contact the Customer Care Center.
- For top-mount installations: If possible, install the faucet to the sink before installing the sink.
- For under-mount installations: Provide the countertop manufacturer with the required faucet hole locations to ensure that countertop holes align with the sink faucet holes.

Top-Mount Installations
Under-Mount Installations
Installation
-
Measure the cabinet opening where the sink will be installed. Plan for adequate clearance between the faucet handles and the backsplash or finished wall.
-
Construct a wood frame for the inside of the cabinet. Allow adequate clearance for the faucet valving and sink bowl. Ensure that the frame will support the entire sink rim.
IMPORTANT! Locate the frame so that once the sink is installed, the top of the sink rim will be flush with the top of the cabinet walls. -
Position the wood frame within the cabinet and secure. Locate the fasteners for easy access in case the sink needs to be removed.
-
Apply a 1″ (25 mm) bead of sealant at each corner of the wood frame where it will contact the sink.
- Lower the sink into the cabinet.
- Verify that the sink is supported by the frame. Verify that the sink is level, make any adjustments as needed.
- Install the countertop.
Care and Cleaning
For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your KOHLER product:
- Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface. Cleaners containing chloride are not recommended.
- Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately after applying cleaner. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands on nearby surfaces.
- Do not allow cleaners to soak on surfaces.
- Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.
- Be careful not to leave staining materials in contact with the surface for extended periods of time.
- The ideal cleaning technique is to rinse thoroughly and blot dry any water from the surface after each use.

Warranty
Lifetime Limited Warranty for KOHLER® Stainless Steel Sinks
Kohler Co. warrants its stainless steel kitchen, bar, and utility sinks
manufactured after October 24, 2012, to be free of defects in material and
workmanship during normal residential use for as long as the original consumer
purchaser owns his or her home. Gloss reduction, scratching, staining and acid
or alkaline etching of the finish over time due to use, cleaning practices or
water or atmospheric conditions, are not manufacturing defects but are
indicative of normal wear and tear. This warranty applies only to KOHLER
stainless steel kitchen, bar, and utility sinks installed in the United States
of America, Canada or Mexico (North America).
If a defect is found in normal residential use, Kohler Co. will, at its
election, repair, replace or make appropriate adjustment. Damage caused by
accident, misuse, or abuse, such as dents and scratches after installation, is
not covered by this warranty. Improper care and cleaning will void the
warranty. Proof of purchase (original sales receipt) must be provided to
Kohler Co. with all warranty claims. Kohler Co. is not responsible for labor
charges, installation, or other incidental or consequential costs. In no event
shall the liability of Kohler Co. exceed the purchase price of the product.
If the stainless steel kitchen, bar, or utility sink is used commercially or
is installed outside of North America, Kohler Co. warrants the stainless steel
sink to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from
the date the product is installed, with all other terms of this warranty
applying except duration. All other components other than the stainless steel
component carry Kohler Co.’s one-year limited warranty unless otherwise
specified.

AND/OR SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
