1. Prepare the Countertop
For existing installations, carefully lift the old sink out of the
countertop. Compare the existing cutout to the required cutout
size. If needed, enlarge the cutout hole according to the directions
for new installations.
NOTE: The front edge of the sink should be at least 1/2″(1.3 cm)
from the countertop edge.
For new installations, carefully place the sink upside down on the
countertop in the desired position. Be careful not to damage the
sink finish. Verify the sink will not interfere with the cabinet.
Trace the sink outline onto the countertop. Do not cut along this
line.
Draw a line 3/8″(1 cm) inside the sink outline.
Drill a pilot hole inside the cutting line. Using a jigsaw or keyhole
saw, cut along the inside line to cut out the opening in the
countertop.

2. Sink Preparation
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Use a sharp hole saw. A
dull hole saw can damage the sink.
Small drill point locators on the underside of the faucet deck
indicate the center of each potential faucet opening. Determine
which holes you will need for your particular faucet installation.
Carefully place the sink upside down over the cutout making
sure the countertop is supporting the sink and turn the sink so
that the drill point locators are over the cutout.
Drill pilot holes through the faucet deck at the desired faucet hole
locations.
Position the sink in the cutout with the faucet deck toward you.
Using a 1-1/2″diameter hole saw and the pilot holes as guides,
cut the faucet holes in the faucet deck.
Smooth the faucet holes with a file to remove any rough edges
and excess sink material.
Repeat the procedure for each desired faucet opening.
Remove the sink from the cutout.

NOTE: Apply sealant quickly as it sets within minutes.
Apply a thin, continuous bead of silicone adhesive sealant around
the bottom edges of the sink.
Carefully turn the sink over and align it with the drain trap and
water supply outlets.
Place the sink into the cutout opening.
Firmly press the sink into place.
NOTE: Do not move the sink until the sealant has cured.
Apply a thin, continuous bead of silicone adhesive sealant around
the rim of the sink where it makes contact with the countertop.
Smooth and finish the bead of caulk.
Allow the sealant to set overnight.

Care and Cleaning Instructions
For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your
STERLING product:
•Use a mild detergent such as liquid dishwashing soap and warm
water for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners that may scratch
or dull the surface.
•Carefully read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is
safe for use on the material.
•Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area
before applying to the entire surface.
•Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface.
•Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately
after cleaner application. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands
