Installation Instructions
Gather 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 Sink
Leave the faucet and drain outlet in place for
now.
1. Shut o the water supply valves (usually
under the sink).
2. Relieve pressure by opening faucet.
3. Disconnect the water supply ttings from
the outlet of the water supply valves.
4. Disconnect the drain tting from the
waste trap.
5. Remove frame or rim fasteners around
underside of old sink.
6. Lift out sink with faucet and drain 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 Opening
Make 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 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
ling or sawing. After nal 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 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 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
modi cations and any problems associated with
these holes are not covered by the warranty.
4 Step Four: Seal Countertop
Place a thin bead of silicone sealant around
the perimeter of countertop cutout. This will
ensure that the sink is completely sealed to
the countertop.
Caution: Do not use Plumbers Putty! Plumbers
Putty can stain your sink.
5 Step Five: Attach Faucet and
Accessories
To simplify installation, we recommend
the installer attach faucets, strainers and
accessories at this time.
When 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 tting be hand tight plus
one eighth turn.
Caution: Do not use Plumbers Putty! Plumbers
Putty can stain your sink.
6 Step Six : Mounting Brackets
Assemble 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 INSTALLATION
If you are installing a new countertop along
with your new sink, it is easier to cut out and
adjust 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 MAINTENANCE
Your 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 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.
