INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE APPLIANCE SINK
GENERAL ADVICE
Please read these instructions before you begin installation.
1. Unpack the sink and inspect for any shipping damage before starting the installation. Do not install a
damaged unit.
2. American Standard accepts no liability for damage to the countertop, or sink fixture, during installation.
3. To ensure a proper fit between the sink and the cabinet and the counter top, we recommend
providing the fabricator with the actual sink to be installed.
4. The aesthetics of the installed product is of the utmost importance. Please take the necessary care to
ensure that any exposed silicone joints are kept to a minimum, the sink is properly aligned to the cut-
out, and excess silicone is cleaned from the sink.
5. The Appliance Sink is hand fabricated, and dimensions of the the product will vary from one unit to
the next. Industry accepted dimensional variance for this type of product is within 1/8".
