Step 5
INSERTING SINK AND TIGHTENING MOUNTING CLIPS
1. With sink in the upside down position, place
a continuous and generous bead of silicone
sealant or plumber's putty around the entire
perimeter of the rim. This serves as a
watertight seal.
2. Lift sink, turn face up, and lower into the
countertop cutout opening.
3. Line up front rim with the front edge of the
counter.
4. Underneath, twist clamps so the teeth swing
under the counter.
5. Begin tightening clips with a screwdriver in
an even fashion, alternating sides while
tightening, until the entire rim is sealed.
6. Do not over tighten. It is only necessary to
draw the rim down snugly to the countertop.
7. Wipe excess sealant from perimeter with a
wet cloth.
Step 6
FINISHING
1. Re-connect and tighten hot and cold faucet supply
lines, strainer, drain, and trap assembly.
NOTE: Depending on the location of sink drain
holes it may be necessary to adjust the drain pipe
fittings under the sink to accommodate the new
sink installation.
2. Turn on water supply, check all connections for
leaks. If leak appears, tighten joint slightly. Do not
over tighten.
3. With stopper in place fill sink and check for leaks
under sink and around drain flange.
4. Remove stopper and let water drain while checking
drain connections.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

To insure long-lasting beauty the best preventative
maintenance is to ensure that the sink is clean, dry
and exposed to room atmosphere when not in use.
Rinse and towel dry to keep it shining and relatively
free of water spots, especially if you have hard water.
To clean your sink, use the mildest procedure that
will do the job, generally liquid detergent and water.
Rinse and dry.
STAINS. On mirror finish surfaces use a metal polish
recommended for stainless steel. Peek
Flitz ® are suitable examples. All other finishes can
be cleaned with products such as Bon Ami
Scrub ® . Always rub with the grain where applicable.
To avoid hard water spots wipe sink dry with clean
soft towel after use.
CAUTION. Steel wool pads leave tiny particles that
may cause rust spots. Rubber mats are acceptable if
removed after each use. Chlorine bleach can cause
corrosion and pitting. Drain cleaners with sulfuric or
hydrochloric acid can attack stainless steel.
