You can access the Installation Manual here: Lordear Sink Installation Manual.
General steps for a drop-in sink installation typically include:
- Prepare the countertop opening using the provided cutout template.
- Apply a sealant bead around the edge of the sink opening.
- Carefully lower the sink into the opening.
- Secure the sink using the included mounting clips from underneath the countertop.

Operating Instructions
The Lordear kitchen sink is designed for everyday kitchen tasks. Its single bowl provides ample space for washing large pots and pans.
- Using the Roll-Up Rack: The included roll-up rack can be placed over the sink to provide an additional workspace for drying dishes, rinsing fruits and vegetables, or as a temporary hot pad.
- Using the Bottom Grid: Place the protective bottom grid at the base of the sink to protect the sink's surface from scratches and dents caused by heavy cookware. It also allows water to drain freely underneath items.
- Drain Assembly: The basket drain set effectively catches food particles, preventing clogs. Regularly empty the basket to maintain optimal drainage.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Lordear stainless steel sink. Follow these guidelines:
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, rinse the sink thoroughly with water to remove any food particles or residue. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild dish soap to wipe down the surface.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (like bleach) as they can scratch or damage the stainless steel finish.
- Prevent Water Spots: To prevent water spots, especially in hard water areas, wipe the sink dry with a soft cloth after each use.
- Protect from Scratches: Use the provided bottom grid to protect the sink base from scratches. Avoid dropping sharp or heavy objects directly onto the sink surface.
- During Remodeling: If remodeling, keep the sink away from decoration materials to prevent accidental damage or staining.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Slow Drainage | Food particles in drain basket; clogged P-trap. | Empty and clean the drain basket. If problem persists, check and clear the P-trap. |
| Water Spots/Stains | Hard water residue; mineral deposits. | Wipe the sink dry after each use. For stubborn spots, use a stainless steel cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water, then rinse and dry. |
| Scratches on Surface | Abrasive cleaning materials; heavy/sharp objects. | Use non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths. Utilize the bottom grid to protect the sink. Minor scratches can sometimes be blended with a fine-grit abrasive pad following the grain of the steel. |
