Operating Instructions
Using your KOHLER Verticyl sink is straightforward. The sink is designed for daily use in a bathroom or powder room setting.
- Water Flow: Control water flow and temperature using your wall- or counter-mounted faucet.
- Drainage: The sink features a pop-up drain for easy water retention and release. The overflow drain helps prevent water from spilling over the rim if the main drain is closed or partially blocked.

Maintenance
To maintain the pristine appearance and functionality of your KOHLER Verticyl sink, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the sink with a dry cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the vitreous china finish.
- Avoid Impact: While durable, vitreous china can chip or crack if subjected to heavy impact. Avoid dropping heavy objects into the sink.
- Drain Care: Periodically clean the pop-up drain assembly to remove hair and debris, ensuring proper drainage.

Troubleshooting
Most common issues with bathroom sinks can be resolved with simple steps. If you encounter problems, consider the following:
- Slow Drainage: Check the pop-up drain for blockages (hair, soap scum). Remove and clean if necessary. Ensure the P-trap is clear.
- Leaking: Inspect all plumbing connections under the sink for tightness. Check the sealant around the sink rim for any gaps or deterioration.
- Water Spots/Stains: Increase the frequency of wiping the sink dry after use. For stubborn spots, use a mild vinegar solution (diluted) and rinse thoroughly.
If issues persist, contact a qualified plumber or Kohler customer support for assistance.
