Installation Guide
Have the physical sink on location prior to fabricating your countertops and cabinets to ensure precise cutouts, keeping in mind that organic fireclay dimensions may vary by up to 1/8 of an inch.
Supply the sink directly to your cabinetmaker ahead of time so they can custom-build the support framing required to hold the heavy 105-pound weight safely.
Note that this fireclay sink features an extra thick bottom, which requires a drain with a longer screw than standard models; brass or plastic strainers with extended screws are recommended.
Wipe the gloss white surface clean with a soft sponge and mild dish soap after daily use to maintain its pristine shine.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the surface regularly with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap to remove routine food residue.
Stain Removal Clean stubborn marks easily from the non-porous glaze using a mild abrasive cleaner or baking soda paste.
Scratch Prevention While highly resistant to pot and pan scuffs, use a protective sink grid if you want to avoid surface metal marks over time.
Chemical Safety Avoid harsh industrial acids or abrasive scouring pads that could dull the smooth gloss finish.
Drain Maintenance Periodically check and clean the 3 1/2-inch offset drain area to prevent debris buildup and ensure smooth water flow.
