• Confirm all components listed in "What's in the Box" are present and undamaged.

5.2 Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Countertop: Use the provided template to mark the cutout area on your countertop. Carefully cut the opening using a jigsaw. Ensure the edges are smooth.
2. Drill Faucet Holes: The sink features pre-drilled openings for the faucet and two pre-milled holes for accessories like a soap dispenser or siphon knob. Carefully drill these holes as needed.
3. Install Faucet and Accessories: Mount your chosen kitchen faucet and any additional accessories (e.g., soap dispenser) onto the sink before placing it into the countertop.
4. Apply Sealant: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the edge of the countertop cutout to create a watertight seal.
5. Place the Sink: Carefully lower the sink into the prepared cutout. Press down firmly to ensure good contact with the sealant.
6. Secure the Sink: Use the included mounting clips (if applicable) to secure the sink to the underside of the countertop. Tighten evenly.
7. Connect Drainage System: Assemble the space-saving drainage system according to the diagram (Figure 2). Connect the sink drain to the siphon and then to your household plumbing. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. The system includes an additional connection for a washing machine or dishwasher.
8. Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to your faucet.
9. Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check all connections for leaks. Run water into the sink and observe the drainage.
