General Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Area: Ensure the floor and wall surfaces are clean, level, and structurally sound. Turn off the water supply.

- Mount the Basin: Carefully place the K-2259-4 basin onto the pedestal. Ensure the basin is level and centered. Secure the basin to the wall using appropriate fasteners (not included) through the mounting holes, if applicable, to prevent movement.
- Install Faucet and Drain: Install your single-hole faucet and drain assembly according to their respective manufacturer's instructions. Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant as required to ensure watertight connections.

Operation
The KOHLER Memoirs Classic pedestal sink functions as a standard bathroom lavatory. Operate the faucet according to its manufacturer's instructions to control water flow and temperature. The integrated overflow drain is designed to prevent minor overfilling by directing excess water into the drainpipe.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your KOHLER fireclay sink.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the sink regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, or cleaners containing harsh chemicals like ammonia, bleach, or acid, as these can damage the fireclay finish.
- Prevent Stains: Promptly wipe away any spills, especially those from cosmetics, hair dyes, or strong chemicals, to prevent staining.
- Drain Care: Periodically clean the drain and overflow openings to prevent buildup. Avoid pouring harsh chemicals down the drain.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your sink.
- Slow Drainage: Check the drain stopper for hair or debris. If the issue persists, the P-trap may need cleaning.
- Leaks Around Faucet/Drain: Ensure all connections are tight. If necessary, disassemble, reapply plumber's putty or sealant, and reassemble.
- Water Spots/Mineral Buildup: Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water to gently remove mineral deposits. Rinse thoroughly.
- Sink Movement/Instability: Verify that the basin is securely fastened to the wall and the pedestal is stable on the floor. Re-tighten mounting hardware if loose.
