Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your Lordear kitchen sink. It is recommended to consult a professional plumber for installation.
- Prepare the Countertop: Ensure your countertop opening matches the sink's exterior dimensions (33" x 22"). The minimum cabinet base size required is 36".
- Install Faucet and Accessories: Before dropping the sink into the countertop, install the pull-out kitchen faucet, glass rinser, and any other top-mounted accessories into their designated holes on the sink deck.
- Apply Sealant: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the sink opening on the countertop.
- Position the Sink: Carefully lower the sink into the countertop opening. Ensure it is centered and level.
- Secure the Sink: Use the provided mounting clips and hardware to secure the sink firmly to the underside of the countertop. Tighten evenly to create a watertight seal.
- Connect Plumbing: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet. Install the drain strainer assembly and connect it to your garbage disposal unit (if applicable) or standard drain plumbing.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet and glass rinser to ensure proper function.

Operating Instructions
Your Lordear workstation sink offers multiple functionalities for efficient kitchen tasks.
Dual-Track Workstation
The sink features two integrated tracks allowing you to slide and position accessories such as the cutting board, colander, and roll-up rack. This creates a versatile workspace directly over the sink, optimizing counter space.

Pull-Out Faucet with Multiple Modes
The pull-out kitchen faucet offers 360-degree swivel functionality and three distinct spray settings:
- Powerful Mode: For heavy-duty rinsing and stubborn food residue.
- Spray Mode: A wider spray pattern for general rinsing of dishes and produce.
- Stream Mode: A steady, aerated flow for filling pots and general use.
Switch between modes using the button on the faucet head. The faucet can be pulled out for extended reach within and around the sink.

Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Lordear sink, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft towel and mild soap for daily cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that can damage the brushed finish.
- Prevent Scratches: Avoid scratching the sink with abrasive tools or sharp objects. Utilize the included bottom rinse grid to protect the sink base.
- Water Spots: Wipe the sink dry after each use to prevent water spots, especially in hard water areas.
- During Remodeling: Keep the sink away from decoration materials during remodeling projects to prevent damage.
- Drainage: The X-shaped grooved guide line at the bottom of the sink is designed for faster drainage. Ensure the drain strainer is clear of debris for optimal water flow.
- Anti-Condensation: The anti-condensation coating on the back of the sink prevents water condensation and protects your cabinet from moisture.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your sink.
- Slow Drainage: Check the drain strainer for food debris or blockages. Ensure the X-shaped grooves are clear.
- Water Spots/Stains: These are often caused by mineral deposits from hard water. Regularly wipe the sink dry after use. For existing spots, use a mild vinegar solution followed by rinsing and drying.
- Faucet Leaks: If the faucet leaks, check all connections for tightness. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
- Glass Rinser Malfunction: Ensure adequate water pressure. Check for any blockages in the rinser nozzles.
- Accessories Not Sliding Smoothly: Ensure the tracks are clean and free of debris. A small amount of food-grade lubricant can be applied if necessary.
