Installation Guide
Plan the undermount cutout carefully using the exact template specifications provided with your sink before cutting stone or solid surface countertops.
Apply a high-grade silicone sealant evenly around the upper rim of the sink flange during undermount installation to ensure a watertight bond against the underside of the counter.
Secure the mounting brackets evenly around the perimeter, tightening them gradually to distribute pressure equally across the stone surface.
Allow the silicone adhesive to cure completely for at least 24 hours before plumbing connections are finalized and heavy use begins.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing: Rinse the stainless steel basin thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use to prevent mineral spot buildup.
Routine Cleaning: Use a mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge to clean the surface, wiping in the direction of the satin finish grain lines.
Grid Maintenance: Remove and clean the included bottom grids periodically to prevent food particle accumulation underneath them.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or chlorine bleach cleaners, as they can scratch or dull the stainless steel finish.
Prevent Rust Transfer: Avoid leaving cast iron pans or wet metal utensils sitting on the sink surface for extended periods to prevent surface rust transfer.
