Installation Guide
Ensure the sink cabinet is structurally sound and adequately sized to support the 50.3-pound weight of the fireclay basin.
Build a sturdy support structure from beneath using an undermount installation kit or custom 2x4 framing, as the entire weight must not rest solely on the countertop edges.
Verify precise measurements for the 24 1/8" x 18 1/8" footprint before cutting your countertop material for either undermount or drop-in installation.
Connect the standard 3 1/2" rear center drain and compatible garbage disposal carefully, using plumbers putty or silicone sealant to prevent leaks.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the glazed surface regularly with a soft sponge, warm water, and mild dish soap to remove routine food residue.
Stain Removal Clean stubborn coffee or food marks easily using a non-abrasive household cleaner or a gentle baking soda paste.
Acid Resistance Rinse away lemon juice, vinegar, or harsh chemical cleaners promptly to keep the glossy shine intact over time.
Preventing Scratches Use a protective sink grid or lift heavy metal cookware in and out rather than sliding them across the basin floor.
Heat Safety Allow extremely hot pots and pans to cool slightly or use a trivet, keeping direct contact within the tested 350-degree limit.
