2.1 Dimensions and Requirements
Ensure your countertop and cabinet are prepared according to the sink's dimensions. This model requires a wall- or counter-mount faucet as it does not feature pre-drilled faucet holes on the sink itself.

For detailed installation instructions, refer to the complete installation guide provided with your product or available on the Kohler website.

The K-5400-0 sink functions as a standard bathroom basin. Water flow is controlled by your chosen wall- or counter-mount faucet. The integrated overflow drain helps prevent water from spilling over the rim of the sink if the main drain is blocked.

4. Care & Maintenance
To maintain the finish and integrity of your KOHLER enameled cast iron sink, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe 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 specifically designed for enameled cast iron surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the enamel finish.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, consult Kohler's official cleaning recommendations for enameled cast iron.
- Avoid Impact: While durable, heavy impacts can chip or crack the enamel. Exercise caution with heavy objects.
The KOHLER enameled cast iron is designed for powerful durability and resistance to chipping, cracking, and burning when properly maintained.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your bathroom sink. For complex problems, it is recommended to contact a qualified plumber or Kohler customer support.
