2. Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the rim of the sink opening on the underside of the countertop.
3. Carefully lift the sink into position, aligning it with the opening.
4. Secure the sink using the provided mounting hardware. Tighten evenly to create a watertight seal.

Operating Instructions

1. Sink Usage

• The double bowls allow for multi-tasking, such as soaking dishes in one basin while using the other for rinsing or food preparation.
• The rear-set drain design maximizes usable space within the sink bowls.
• Engineered channel grooves direct water efficiently towards the drain, promoting a clean and quick-drying surface.

Maintenance and Care

1. Sink Care

• Clean the stainless steel sink regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a stainless steel cleaner.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
• The multi-functional dish grids (x2) protect the bottom of the sink from scratches and can be removed for cleaning.
• The NoiseDefend soundproofing technology, with extra-thick rubber pads and sound barrier, requires no special maintenance.
