1/8“ Negative Reveal Flushed/Zero Reveal
Determine Reveal Type
KIBI Undermount sinks can be installed in three different types:
Use scissors to cut along the line of paper template for your desired reveal type
(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.
Positive installation: Countertop rim is cut back 3/8” from sink sides to reveal the sink edge.
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 fau-
cet spouts and handles.

Trouble - Shooting
PROBLEM ACTION
Scratches
Use a nylon pad with an iron-free abrasive polishing compound. Follow the direc-
tion of the original brush lines and the scratch will disappear as it’s blended into
the original finish. 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 allow excessive build up before treating. Soaking in a 25% vinegar solu-
tion or a 5% nitric acid solution can remove these hard water spots. Periodically
rub with a nylon-bristled brush or a fine-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-contain-
ing) 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 cor-
rective steps.

Care & Maintenance
Clean regularly with normal detergent and warm water.
Always make a habit of drying your sink after use and
buffing 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 affect the finish of the sink.
Never use bleach solutions on the sink, as it is harm-
ful 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 discol-
oration.
Minor scratching of the sink’s surface is extremely
difficult to avoid and is not something to be unduly con-
cerned about. These marks are usually only superficial
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.
