Installation Guide
Work closely with your countertop fabricator to ensure the cutout matches the exact inner bowl dimensions of 21 by 15.75 inches for a proper undermount seal.
Apply a high-grade silicone sealant evenly around the upper rim of the sink before pressing it firmly against the underside of the countertop.
Secure the mounting brackets according to your countertop material specifications to support the 25-pound weight of the steel structure.
Clean the satin finish regularly using a mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft cloth to maintain its polished look and prevent water spots.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the satin finish down with mild dish soap, warm water, and a non-abrasive sponge after each use.
Preventing Water Spots Dry the stainless steel surface with a clean microfiber towel to keep the metal looking bright and streak-free.
Avoiding Harsh Chemicals Never use steel wool, wire brushes, or chlorine-based bleach, as these can scratch or corrode the 304 stainless steel material.
Tackling Tough Residue Use a specialized stainless steel cleaner and rub gently in the direction of the grain lines if stubborn marks appear.
Protecting the Surface Consider adding a protective bottom grid to guard the basin floor against scratches from heavy pots and pans.
