Installation Guide
Review the included cutout template carefully to ensure accurate countertop fabrication before cutting your stone or solid surface material.
Apply a bead of high-grade silicone sealant around the upper rim of the sink flange during undermount placement to create a watertight seal against the underside of the counter.
Secure the basin firmly using the provided mounting clips, tightening them evenly around the perimeter without overtightening.
Wipe down the stainless steel bowl and drain area with a soft cloth after use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wash the stainless steel surface regularly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge to remove residue.
Grain Direction Wipe and scrub in the direction of the satin finish polish lines to preserve the lustrous appearance.
Stain Removal Treat stubborn marks using a mild non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water.
Preventing Rust Avoid leaving wet iron or cast-iron cookware sitting directly in the basin for extended periods to prevent surface discoloration.
Chloride Avoidance Rinse the bowl thoroughly if exposed to bleach or harsh chemical cleaners to protect the T304 alloy.
Surface Protection Use a compatible bottom grid like the BG-1308 to shield the floor of the sink from scratches caused by heavy utensils.
