Setup and Installation

The Lordear Undermount Kitchen Sink is designed for undermount installation. Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and appearance. Refer to the included cutout template for precise counter opening dimensions.

Pre-Installation Checklist:

1. Unpack the sink and all accessories. Inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Ensure you have all necessary tools: safety glasses, gloves, silicone sealant, drill, jigsaw, measuring tape, pencil, clamps, and plumbing tools.
3. Confirm your cabinet base size is at least 36 inches to accommodate the sink.

Installation Steps (General Overview):

1. Prepare Countertop: Use the provided cutout template to mark the opening on your countertop. Carefully cut the opening using a jigsaw or appropriate cutting tool.
2. Apply Sealant: Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the sink opening on the underside of the countertop.
3. Position Sink: Carefully lift and position the sink into the countertop opening from below, aligning it precisely.
4. Secure with Clips: Attach the mounting clips to the sink rim and tighten them against the underside of the countertop to secure the sink firmly in place. Ensure even pressure.
5. Connect Plumbing: Install the basket strainers into the drain openings. Connect the drain pipes and P-trap assembly according to local plumbing codes. Connect your faucet and water supply lines.
6. Test for Leaks: Once all connections are secure, turn on the water supply and check for any leaks.

Operating and Usage

Your Lordear workstation sink is designed to enhance your kitchen efficiency with its integrated ledge and versatile accessories.

Workstation Features:

• Integrated Ledge: The sink features an integrated ledge that allows the included accessories to slide smoothly across the sink, providing a flexible workspace.
• Cutting Board: Use the natural solid wood cutting board for food preparation directly over the sink, saving countertop space.
• Colander: The stainless steel colander fits on the ledge, ideal for rinsing fruits, vegetables, or draining pasta.
• Roll-up Drying Rack: Position the roll-up rack over either bowl for air-drying dishes, utensils, or produce. It can be easily rolled up and stored when not in use.
• Bottom Rinse Grids: Place the grids at the bottom of each bowl to protect the sink's surface from scratches and allow water to drain freely.

Efficient Drainage:

The sink bowls are designed with an X-shaped water guide and a sloped bottom towards the drain opening. This patented design ensures complete water drainage, preventing pooling and making cleaning easier.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your stainless steel sink.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, rinse the sink thoroughly with water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth or sponge. This prevents water spots and mineral buildup.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the brushed finish.
• Gentle Cleaners: For deeper cleaning, use a mild dish soap or a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
• Prevent Scratches: Avoid dropping sharp or heavy objects into the sink. The included bottom rinse grids help protect the sink base.
• Chemicals: Do not allow harsh chemicals, such as bleach, drain cleaners, or strong acids, to sit in the sink for extended periods, as they can cause discoloration or damage.
• During Remodeling: If remodeling, protect the sink from construction debris, paint, or other materials that could cause damage.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Slow Drainage:
  • Check if the basket strainer is clogged with food debris. Clean it regularly.
  • Ensure the P-trap and drain pipes are clear of obstructions.
• Water Spots/Stains:
  • These are often caused by mineral deposits from hard water. Wipe the sink dry after each use.
  • Use a solution of vinegar and water or a specialized stainless steel cleaner to remove stubborn spots.
• Scratches:
  • Stainless steel can scratch. Minor scratches are normal with use and will blend into the brushed finish over time.
  • Use the bottom rinse grids to minimize direct contact with the sink surface.
• Condensation on Underside:
  • The sink is equipped with an anti-condensation spray undercoating to prevent this. If condensation occurs, ensure proper ventilation in the cabinet below the sink.
