Pre-Installation Considerations
- Cabinet Size: A minimum base cabinet size of 30 inches is recommended for this 27-inch sink.
- Sink Dimensions: The actual dimensions of fireclay sinks may vary slightly (up to 1/4 inch) due to the manufacturing process. It is crucial to measure the actual sink you receive to create an accurate countertop cutout.
- Weight: The sink weighs approximately 45 pounds. Ensure your cabinet structure can support this weight, and use proper lifting techniques during handling.

Installation Type: Dual Mount
This sink supports both undermount and topmount (drop-in) installations, allowing flexibility to match various countertop materials and kitchen styles.
- Undermount Installation: The sink is installed below the countertop surface, creating a seamless and modern appearance. This allows for easy cleaning of the countertop directly into the sink.
- Topmount (Drop-in) Installation: The sink's rim sits on top of the countertop. The edges are sealed to the countertop to create a watertight seal, offering a more traditional look.

Installation Steps (General Guidelines)
- Measure and Trace: Place the actual sink upside down on your countertop material. Carefully trace the outline for the cutout. Double-check measurements before cutting.
- Cut Countertop: Using appropriate tools, cut the countertop according to the traced outline. For undermount installations, ensure the edges are smooth and finished.
- Prepare Cabinet: Ensure the base cabinet is sturdy and level. Reinforce if necessary to support the sink's weight.
- Apply Sealant: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the cutout opening on the countertop (for topmount) or the rim of the sink (for undermount).
- Position Sink: Carefully lower the sink into the opening. For undermount, secure it with mounting clips (not included, typically supplied with countertop installation kits). For topmount, ensure it sits flush.
- Connect Plumbing: Install the drain strainer and connect the plumbing according to local codes. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Install Faucet: Install your chosen faucet into the pre-drilled hole on the sink or countertop.

Daily Cleaning
The smooth, non-porous, high-gloss surface of the fireclay sink makes it easy to clean and maintain. For daily cleaning, simply wipe the sink with a damp cloth and then dry with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots.
Stain and Scratch Resistance
The ultra-fine fireclay construction and Italian glaze provide excellent resistance to stains, scratches, high temperatures, acids, and common household chemicals. This ensures the sink remains durable and beautiful for many years.

Bottom Grid Use
The included stainless steel bottom grid helps protect the sink from scratches and dents caused by heavy cookware or sharp objects, extending the lifespan of your sink.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your GETPRO Fireclay Kitchen Sink. If you experience a problem not listed here, please contact customer support.
- Slow Drainage:
- Check if the drain strainer is clogged with food debris. Remove and clean the strainer.
- Inspect the plumbing for any blockages.
- Water Spots:
- Water spots are common with hard water. To prevent them, wipe the sink dry with a soft cloth after each use.
- For existing spots, use a mild vinegar solution (diluted with water) and a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly.
- Minor Scratches:
- While highly scratch-resistant, extreme force or sharp objects can cause minor marks. Use the included bottom grid to minimize this risk.
- For superficial metal marks, a non-abrasive cleaner designed for ceramic surfaces may help.
- Sink Movement/Instability:
- If the sink feels loose, check the mounting clips (for undermount) or the sealant around the rim (for topmount). Re-secure or re-seal as necessary.
- Ensure the cabinet base is stable and level.
