For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your KOHLER
product:
• Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying
to the entire surface.
• Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately after applying
cleaner. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands on nearby surfaces.
• Do not allow cleaners to soak on surfaces.
• Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material such
as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.
• Be careful not to leave staining materials in contact with the surface for extended
periods of time.
• The ideal cleaning technique is to rinse thoroughly and blot dry any water from
the surface after each use.
Kohler offer a range of kitchen sink accessories such as bottom basin racks and
rinse baskets to help protect the surface form scratches.

INSTALLATION
Install Using the Undermount Kit
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Caution! Cast iron sinks are very heavy. Get assistance lifting the sink.
Important! Using a wood support frame is an installation option for all undercounter
cast iron sinks, but is required for non-rectangular sinks.
Undercounter sinks should be installed by experienced installers.•
To ensure a safe and damage-free installation, two people should install the •
sink.
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.
Plan the sink installation so future removal from underneath the countertop is •
possible without damaging the countertop. Do not use adhesive sealants.
Use proper fasteners and techniques to ensure that the frame will support a •
minimum of 136 kg (300 lbs). Locate the fasteners for easy access in the event
the sink needs to be removed.
A cabinet with a minimum width of 914 mm (36″) is recommended for this •
installation.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.•

5. Position the rail assemblies into the cabinet running front-to-back.
6. Measure the overall width of your sink. This distance represents the distance
″A″ between the outside edges of the rails as shown in the illustration.
7. Position the hanger brackets according to distance ″A″ and mark the screw
hole locations onto the cabinet.
8. Drill 3 mm starter holes at each marked location.
9. Secure the hanger brackets in position with suitable screws.
10. Lower the sink into the cabinet. Make sure that the sink is supported by the
undermount kit.
11. Make sure that the sink is level, make any adjustments as necessary using the
screws located at each corner of the sink.

1. Measure the cabinet opening where the sink will be installed. Plan for adequate
clearance between the tap handles and the backsplash or nished wall.
2. Construct a wood frame for the inside of the cabinet. Allow adequate clearance
for the tap plumbing and the sink basin. Make sure that the frame will support
the entire sink rim.
Important! The frame should be located so that once the sink is installed, the
top of the sink rim will be ush with the top of the cabinet walls.
Note! If needed, shims can be used to bring the sink rim ush with the cabinet
walls.
3. Position the wood frame within the cabinet and secure. Locate the fasteners
for easy access in case the sink needs to be removed.
4. Apply a 25 mm (1″) bead of sealant at each corner of the wood frame where it
