Before You Begin

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Metal surfaces are sharp

and can cause severe cuts. Use gloves and handle sink edges

carefully.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

Prior to installation, unpack the new sink and inspect it for

damage. Return the sink to its protective carton until you are

ready to install it.

Inspect the drain and supply tubing. Replace if necessary.

Due to the nature of undercounter installations, Kohler Co.

recommends that undercounter sink installations be performed by

trained and experienced installers.

Use these instructions for self-rimming and undercounter

installations. Follow only the instructions that apply to your

installation.

Install so future removal from underneath the countertop is

possible without damaging the countertop.
