procedure, we recommend that it be performed by a trained professional installer. Note: A cutting mistake will be
costly. We recommend comparing the template provided to the sink before cutting the countertop.
Caution: Risk of personal injury. Metal surfaces are sharp and can cause severe cuts. Use gloves and handle
sink and tools with care.
Installing Your New Sink
Step 1
Step 1: Determine position of the sink
Locate the position of the sink using the template
provided and make the cut-out from the countertop.
Note: This template will align the edge of the

Step 2: Determine position of the mounting brackets
Align the bowl under the countertop cut-out and
determine the location for the mounting brackets.
Mounting brackets have been supplied. Installer
will determine attachment method.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
For best results, opt for a mild liquid soap and a wet cloth to gently clean your sink. Avoid using harsh chemicals
and rough brushes/sponges. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly and towel dry.

cleaned with mild abrasives. Always rub with the grain where applicable.
Caution: Steel wool pads leave tiny particles that may cause rust spots. Chlorine bleach can cause corrosion and
pitting. Drain cleaners with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid can attack stainless steel.
