Undermount Installation Allows for a seamless transition from countertop to sink for effortless cleaning

Understanding Zero Radius Corner Design
Zero radius corners feature sharp 90-degree angles rather than traditional rounded curves, giving the sink a distinct architectural profile. Think of it like a precision-cut picture frame where every corner meets at a crisp, exact angle instead of sloping away. This geometric layout expands the usable interior volume of the 15-inch basin, allowing flat-bottomed cookware or square containers to sit level and maximize every inch of available space during food preparation.
Installation Guide
Verify countertop cutout dimensions match the 18 x 15 inch outer specification prior to final undermount installation.
Apply a high-grade silicone sealant evenly around the upper rim to secure a watertight bond against the countertop underside.
Connect appropriate plumbing to the rear center 3.5-inch drain opening according to local codes.
Clean the 304 stainless steel surface regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap to maintain the satin finish.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Washing Wipe down the stainless steel bowl with mild dish soap and a soft sponge after each use.
Water Spot Prevention Dry the sink surface with a microfiber towel after wiping to maintain the satin sheen.
Grid Maintenance Periodically lift and clean beneath the included bottom grid to prevent residue buildup.
Stain Removal Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner rubbed in the direction of the grain lines for tougher marks.
Harsh Chemical Avoidance Never use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or chlorine bleach, as they can damage the metal.
