Installation InstructionsGather the tools listed at the top of this page that are required for replacing a sink.Caution: Do not use Plumbers Putty! Plumbers Putty can stain your sink.

1 Step One: Remove the Old SinkLeave the faucet and drain outlet in place for now.

1. Shut off the water supply valves (usually under the sink).

2. Relieve pressure by opening faucet.

3. Disconnect the water supply fi ttings from the outlet of the water supply valves.

4. Disconnect the drain fi tting from the waste trap.

5. Remove frame or rim fasteners around underside of old sink.

6. Lift out sink with faucet and drain fi tting in place.

7. If you are installing a new countertop, go to NEW COUNTERTOP FOR TOPMOUNT INSTALLATION and follow the instructions provided.

2 Step Two: Check Countertop OpeningMake sure the existing countertop cutout opening is the proper size. Simply set the new sink into the opening. The sink rim should rest evenly on the countertop. If not, a slight adjustment can be made by using a fi le or a greater adjustment by using a jigsaw or keyhole saw. Care should be taken not to chip or crack the laminated top by aggressive fi ling or sawing. After fi nal fi tting, remove the new sink from cutout.

3 Step Three: Knocking Out Faucet/Accessory Holes (Must be done before installing sink)

If your sink already has the proper number of holes needed, you can proceed to Step Four. If additional holes need to be knocked out, place the sink upright on a stable workstation (a workbench or the fl oor). Do NOT place the sink in the countertop to knock out the holes, as damage could occur such as cracking or breakage. Locate the round stickers on the ledge of the sink. These stickers represent the locations of the partially drilled holes. With a hammer and punch or nailset, you can knock out the partially drilled holes needed for faucet and accessories. You will then use a fi le (ex: rattail type) to smooth away any rough surface in the holes.

Note: any additional holes beyond the partially drilled ones noted on this sink are considered modifi cations and any problems associated with these holes are not covered by the warranty.

4 Step Four: Seal CountertopPlace a thin bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of countertop cutout. This will ensure that the sink is completely sealed to the countertop.


5 Step Five: Attach Faucet and Accessories

To simplify installation, we recommend the installer attach faucets, strainers and accessories at this time.

When fi tting the drain to the sink, take extra care not to overtighten. Overtightening can add a mechanical stress in the region of the drain hole which could damage or crack the sink. We recommend the screw fi tting be hand tight plus one eighth turn.


6 Step Six : Mounting BracketsAssemble the mounting clips and bolts as shown in the diagram. Our tests have shown that the six clips provided are more than adequate to hold your sink in place until the sealant applied in Step Four is dry.

7 Step Seven: Hook up plumbing, check for leaks.

NEW COUNTERTOP FOR TOPMOUNT INSTALLATIONIf you are installing a new countertop along with your new sink, it is easier to cut out and adjust fi tting prior to securing countertop to the base cabinets. We recommend comparing the template provided to the sink before cutting the countertop. (For natural stone or a solid surface material like granite, marble, Corian® or Quartz; sink opening should be cut by a professional.)

Before marking or cutting countertop, use the sink and template to determine sink position. A cutting mistake will be costly.

CARE AND MAINTENANCEYour new Granite sink is an extremely tough and resilient material that will last a lifetime of normal usage. To keep its good looks and sparkling fi nish follow these simple guidelines.

Cleaning• Most stains incurred during normal daily use can be washed away with water

and a mild cleaner such as COMET®, AJAX®, BON AMI®, BAR KEEPERS FRIEND®, SOFT SCRUB® and a green SCOTCH BRITE™ pad.

• Some very stubborn stains may require a dilute solution of bleach. DO NOT leave concentrated bleach soaking in your sink. (This could cause your sink to discolor).

• Aluminum kitchen utensils and pots and pans may leave a silver mark on your sink. These marks can easily be removed with an abrasive cleaner or a SCOTCH BRITE™ pad. Hard water deposits can be removed with an abrasive cleaner, vinegar or lemon juice.

• To prevent staining and discoloration of your sink always rinse your sink after use with clean warm water.

Maintenance• Your Granite sink is resistant to normal household detergents. However, avoid

prolonged exposure to paint strippers, caustic soda, descalers and nail varnish. These items could cause your sink to discolor.

• Do not use wire wool or steel soap pads as steel particles can become embedded in your sink and rust.

• Your sink will withstand temperatures of up to 550 degrees F. Most accessories such as wire baskets will not withstand temperatures that extreme and may melt.

• Always rinse your sink with warm clean water after use. If you have hard water, you should also wipe your sink dry.

• Periodically wipe down sink with vegetable oil to repel mineral and calcium deposits.
