Installation Steps (General Guidelines)
- Prepare Countertop: Ensure the countertop cutout matches the specified dimensions (13''X15'') for undermount installation.
- Apply Sealant: Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the sink's flange that will contact the underside of the countertop.
- Position Sink: Carefully lift and position the sink under the countertop cutout, aligning it correctly.
- Secure with Brackets: Attach the included mounting brackets and hardware to secure the sink firmly to the underside of the countertop. Tighten evenly to ensure a tight seal.
- Connect Plumbing: Install the drain assembly and connect all necessary plumbing according to local codes.
- Cure Sealant: Allow the sealant to cure completely before using the sink, as per manufacturer's instructions for the sealant used.

Operating Features
The ATTOP bar sink is designed with several features to enhance daily use and durability.
- Nano Coating Technology: The advanced nano coating provides a surface that resists scratches, oil stains, and floating rust. This allows liquids to flow smoothly, making cleaning easier.
- Commercial Grade Brushed Finish: The satin finish is highly resistant to dirt and grime, ensuring the sink maintains its appearance and is easy to wipe clean.
- Sound Dampening System: Heavy-duty sound guard undercoating and thick rubber padding are integrated to minimize noise from water flow and reduce condensation buildup.
- Rear Drain Placement: The strategic rear drain placement with a USA standard 3.5" opening prevents dishes from settling directly on the drain and is compatible with standard garbage disposal units.
- Stainless Steel Basket Strainer: The included basket strainer effectively traps food waste and can be easily removed for emptying.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ATTOP stainless steel sink, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the sink regularly with normal detergent and warm water.
- Drying After Use: Always dry your sink after each use and buff with a soft cloth. This prevents the buildup of limescale and other mineral deposits.
- Weekly Deep Clean: Once a week, clean the sink using a non-abrasive cleanser (e.g., Comet) and a clean, soft sponge. Scrub in the same direction as the natural grain of the sink to maintain its finish.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals like bleach, as these can damage the nano coating and stainless steel finish.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns you might encounter with your sink.
- Water Spots/Mineral Deposits: If water spots or mineral deposits appear, they are often due to hard water. Regular drying after use (as mentioned in Maintenance) will prevent this. For existing spots, use a solution of vinegar and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Surface Rust: While the nano coating resists floating rust, prolonged contact with iron-containing objects (e.g., cast iron pans, steel wool) can cause surface rust. Clean immediately with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth, scrubbing with the grain. Avoid leaving such items in the sink.
- Slow Drainage: Check the basket strainer for trapped food waste. Ensure the plumbing connections are clear and free of obstructions.
- Noise During Use: The sink features sound dampening. If excessive noise occurs, ensure the sink is properly secured to the countertop and that all mounting hardware is tightened.
