Installation Instructions

For undermount installation to a solid surface countertop (granite, quartz, etc.).

Prepare the countertop: Use the provided template to mark and cut the opening. Ensure cutout is smooth and matches sink dimensions.
Dry fit the sink: Place the sink into the cutout from below. Check for even gaps and proper alignment.
Apply sealant: Run a continuous bead of 100% silicone sealant along the top rim of the sink where it contacts the countertop.
Mount the sink: Lift the sink into place from below. Immediately install mounting brackets/clips according to the diagram, tightening evenly to create a uniform seal. Wipe away excess sealant.
Cure time: Allow sealant to cure fully (typically 24 hours) before connecting plumbing or applying weight.

CAUTION! Do not overtighten mounting hardware, as this can distort the sink. Ensure the sink is fully supported by brackets, not hanging from the countertop.

Connecting Drain & Faucet

After the sink is securely mounted and sealant is cured, proceed with plumbing connections.

Install the drain assembly: Apply plumber's putty or silicone gasket to the drain flange. Insert from the top of the sink and tighten the locknut from below. Connect the P-trap and tailpiece to the drain outlet.
Install the faucet: Insert the faucet through the pre-drilled holes. Secure from below with mounting nuts and washers. Connect hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet valves.
Connect the sprayer (if included): Attach the hose to the faucet diverter and route it through the designated hole.
Check for leaks: Slowly turn on water supply. Check all connections (faucet, drain, supply lines) for leaks. Tighten connections if necessary.

Tip: Use thread seal tape on all threaded plumbing connections to prevent leaks.

Care & Cleaning

To maintain the finish and longevity of your stainless steel sink.

Daily Cleaning: Rinse with warm water and mild dish soap. Wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Stain Removal: For minor stains or hard water deposits, use a paste of baking soda and water. Gently scrub with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
Disinfection: Use a diluted vinegar solution or a commercial stainless steel cleaner. Always rinse thoroughly.
To restore shine: Wipe in the direction of the grain (brushed lines) with a dedicated stainless steel polish.

DO NOT: Use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, or chlorine bleach. Avoid leaving acidic foods (lemons, vinegar) or wet steel items (pots, cans) in the sink for prolonged periods.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Sink is not level or rocks	Uneven countertop or improper bracket installation	Check that countertop is level. Loosen and reposition mounting brackets for even support.
Water leaks between sink and countertop	Insufficient or broken sealant	Turn off water, remove mounting clips, lower sink, clean old sealant, reapply silicone, and remount.
Water drains slowly	Clog in drain or P-trap	Disassemble P-trap and clean out debris. Use a drain snake if necessary.
