(Negative, Positive or Flushed reveal)
Flush installation: Countertop edge and sink edge are in alignment for a continuous look.
Negative installation: Sink sides are recessed 1/8”behind the countertop rim.

Caution: When determining sink placement, be sure to check that there is adequate clearance behind the sink for
any faucet(s) and your backsplash, as well as clearance for a full range of motion for faucet spouts and handles.

Trouble - Shooting
PROBLEM ACTION
Scratches
Use a nylon pad with an iron-free abrasive polishing compound. Follow the direction of the
original brush lines and the scratch will disappear as it’s blended into the original nish. Be
careful to not polish too aggressively since you’ll polish out the original brush lines and end
up with a shiny spot.
Water deposits
Regular routine cleaning can usually prevent lime scale deposits from hard water. Do not al-
low excessive build up before treating. Soaking in a 25% vinegar solution or a 5% nitric acid
solution can remove these hard water spots. Periodically rub with a nylon-bristled brush or a
ne-mesh synthetic scouring pad. Rinse and towel dry after treatment.
Rust marks
If rust marks develop due to presence of, or contact with, ferrous (iron-containing) materials,
swab with a sponge wetted with a diluted (10-15%) solution of nitric acid (HNO3) and follow
with routine cleaning. Avoid prolonged contact of ferrous materials (like cast iron pans) with
stainless steel. Nitric acid in dilute concentrations (<20%) is the only acid that is safe to use
on stainless steel.
Trouble-Shooting
If you’ve followed the instructions carefully and your sink still does not work properly, take these corrective steps.

Care & Maintenance
Clean regularly with normal detergent and warm water.
Always make a habit of drying your sink after use and bung
with a soft cloth. This will ensure that no build up of limescale
or other mineral deposits can occur.
Clean the sink once a week using a non-abrasive cleanser such
as Comet and a clean soft sponge. Scrub in the same direction
as the natural grain of the sink.
Never let soap or other household cleaners to dry on the
surface of the sink. Most products contain addatives which
will aect the nish of the sink.
Never use bleach solutions on the sink, as it is harmful
to stainless steel. If left on the sink too long it can cause
surface pitting.
Never use a steel wool pad to clean your sink. Doing so may
damage the sink’s surface and cause discoloration.
Minor scratching of the sink’s surface is extremely dicult to
avoid and is not something to be unduly concerned about.
These marks are usually only supercial and can be removed
with a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.
Use of rinse grids will reduce exposure of the bottom of the
sink to scratches.
