Secure the sink using the appropriate mounting clips from underneath, tightening them evenly to pull the rim flush against the surface.
Connect your 3.5 inch drain assembly and tailpiece, checking all plumbing connections for leaks before regular use.

Rinsing Rinse the surface thoroughly to remove food particles, soap residue, and chemical cleansers that might dull the satin finish.
Drying Towel dry the sink periodically to prevent water spots and maintain the lustrous shine of the metal.
Stain Removal Use a non-abrasive cleaner with a sponge for stubborn marks, always rubbing gently in the direction of the grain lines.
