Installation Guide
Due to plus or minus 2 percent dimensions in fireclay manufacturing, have your cabinet maker wait until the sink is physically delivered before cutting the cabinet.
Ensure the support framing inside the cabinet is sturdy enough to hold the substantial weight of a solid fireclay basin.
Apply a bead of waterproof silicone sealant around the perimeter where the sink meets the countertop or cabinet facade for a secure fit.
Use the included protective bottom grid during daily dishwashing to shield the floor of the bowls from heavy pots and utensils.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the sink surface down with a soft sponge and mild dish soap after each use to prevent residue buildup.
Stain Removal Use a mixture of baking soda and warm water or a gentle non-abrasive cleaner for stubborn marks.
Grid Maintenance Periodically remove the stainless steel bottom grid and clean underneath to prevent mineral deposits from forming.
Cutting-Board Care Hand wash the included bamboo cutting-board and treat it occasionally with food-safe mineral oil to preserve its finish.
Strainers and Drains Clear the stainless steel strainer regularly to ensure smooth water flow and prevent debris clogs.
