Mastering Flow with the DrainAssure Waterway
In a crowded kitchen sink, blocked drains are a common frustration when flat-bottomed cookware covers the strainer opening. This sink solves that issue through its engineered DrainAssure waterway, which acts much like a multi-lane highway for water. Even when heavy pots or dinner plates sit directly over the center drain, open side channels allow water to bypass the blockage and evacuate rapidly, keeping your basin free from standing water and messy residue.
Installation Guide
Verify that your minimum cabinet size is at least 30 inches left to right before beginning the undermount cutout process.
Use the provided cutout template carefully to ensure an accurate countertop opening for a flush undermount fit.
Apply silicone sealant evenly around the upper rim of the sink flange to secure a watertight bond against the underside of your stone countertop.
Attach the mounting hardware securely, tightening clips in a crisscross pattern for even pressure distribution.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the stainless steel basin thoroughly with warm water after each use and wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent mineral spot buildup.
Gentle Cleansing Use a mild liquid dish soap alongside a non-abrasive sponge or microfiber cloth for routine cleaning tasks.
Grain Following Always scrub and wipe in the direction of the circular brush lines to preserve the Radiant Pearl finish integrity.
Surface Protection Leave the included stainless steel bottom grid in place during heavy dishwashing to protect against accidental scratches.
Chemical Avoidance Never use harsh chlorine bleach, steel wool, or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the protective steel surface.
