Prior to installation steps:

1. Unpack your new product and ensure that all the parts are contained in the packaging.
2. Keep the product in its original box until you are ready to install it.
3. The countertop must be flat.
4. Shut off the water supply if replacing a previously-installed vessel sink.
5. Observe all plumbing and building codes in your area.
6. It is recommended that installation of the product be done by a professional plumber.
7. We are not responsible for improper sink or countertop installation. We are not liable for any damages to the sink or countertop or personal injury during installation.

Decide on your preference prior to installation.
Alignment of the sink to cutout is critical for a superior fit and finished look. Depending on your aesthetic preference, sinks can be installed either with a 1/4″ reveal, flush fit, or with a negative reveal. 1/4″ reveal is recommended.=

Installation

1. Measure sink apron and cabinet opening to make sure sink apron will fit into cabinet opening. If necessary, sand opening or add wood filler strips.
2. Prepare the cabinet and create a support frame inside the cabinet that the sink will sit on. Use 2×4 solid wood studs to create the support frame. Your cabinet and support frame should be strong enough to hold up to 200 lbs of weight once installed. The support frame should be positioned so that the top of the sink rim is level and flush with the top surface of the cabinet perimeter. Make sure the support frame leaves room for the drains, faucet water lines, garbage disposal (if any).
3. Place a thin layer of sealant on the supporting frame where it will contact the sink
4. Gently position the sink on the frame. Verify that the sink sits level and sturdy on the frame, and the top surface of the sink is level and flush with the top surface of the cabinet perimeter. Adjust or shim between the sink and support if necessary.
5. Due to the various cutout sizes possible (based on your preference) a cutout template is not provided. Use the actual sink measurement to determine the actual location of the cutout. Ensure adequate clearance behind the sink for any faucet and backsplash.
6. Trace cut-out opening on the countertop. Cut out the opening on the countertop. Use an Orbital sander or sanding block to smooth the edge of the cut-out area and remove all saw marks. For laminate type countertop, all exposed unlaminated surfaces near the cut-out opening must be adequately finished and sealed to prevent water damage
7. Clean the rim of the sink and the undersurface of the countertop where it will contact the rim. Apply a generous bead of sealant around the sink rim.
8. Gently position the countertop on the sink. Ensure that the sealant provides a complete seal between the countertop and the sink. Wipe off any extra sealant using a wet cloth, and apply extra sealant if there are any gaps

Care and Maintenance

“The Dos”

1. When it comes to maintenance, the best thing you can do is be consistent in your cleaning. It is preferable to clean a little on a frequent basis than a heavy-duty cleaning once in a while.
2. You should make sure that the sink is always clean and dry when not in use. This is the best method of preventative maintenance. Keep the sink water spot-free and shiny by rinsing and towel drying after every use.
3. Keep the single clog-free to prevent standing water which can lead to mineral deposit build-up.
4. If a mineral build-up should occur, use a mixture of vinegar and hot water to remove the deposit.
5. To clean your sink, use a non-abrasive cleaning cloth combined with a mild cleaning procedure.

• Use a soft cloth and liquid detergent on a mirror finish deck.
• Do Not Use Any Abrasive Materials On Sink Finish
• For tougher stains use a mild abrasive cleaner like Ajax or Comet. 6. Wipe the sink dry after cleaning to discourage any water spots. 7. Follow the direction of the grain when cleaning or scrubbing away stains. Scrubbing against the grain will show as a scratch.

“The Don’ts”

1. Avoid using any abrasive steel wool pads as they will leave an iron residue that will eventually lead to rust and corrosion.
2. Do not leave any steel or cast iron cookware in the sink for a long period of time. This may also leave iron particles that will corrode the sink
3. Do not leave any cleaning materials such as sponges or rags in the sink for an extended period of time. Anything left in the sink can trap moisture which will eventually lead to staining
4. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning materials such as steel wool pads on the polished finish of the sink, this will lead to scratching.
