6.1. Pre-Installation Steps
- Review Local Codes: Consult local plumbing and building codes before installation.
- Inspect Sink: Carefully inspect the sink for any damage prior to installation. Do not install a damaged sink.
- Gather Tools: Ensure you have all necessary tools, including a jigsaw, drill, sealant, measuring tape, and safety equipment.
- Prepare Countertop: Use the provided cut-out template to mark the opening on your countertop. For undermount installation, ensure the cut-out is slightly smaller than the sink rim. For drop-in, the cut-out should match the inner rim of the sink.
- Cut Countertop: Carefully cut the opening in the countertop using a jigsaw. Smooth any rough edges.
6.2. Undermount Installation
- Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the sink's top edge where it will contact the countertop.
- Carefully lift the sink into position from underneath the countertop, aligning it with the cut-out.
- Secure the sink using the provided mounting clips. Attach the clips to the underside of the countertop and tighten them evenly until the sink is firmly held in place. Do not overtighten.
- Wipe away any excess sealant immediately.
6.3. Drop-in (Topmount) Installation
- Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the countertop cut-out.
- Carefully lower the sink into the opening, ensuring it is properly aligned.
- From underneath the countertop, attach the provided mounting clips to the sink rim and tighten them evenly until the sink is firmly seated. Do not overtighten.
- Wipe away any excess sealant immediately.
6.4. Drain and Faucet Installation
- Install your chosen drain assembly (basket strainer or disposal flange) according to its manufacturer's instructions. Ensure a watertight seal.
- Install your kitchen faucet into the pre-drilled faucet hole(s) on your countertop or directly into the sink if applicable, following the faucet manufacturer's instructions.
- Connect all plumbing lines and check for leaks.

7. Operation
Your Lexicon quartz kitchen sink is designed for everyday use in food preparation and dishwashing. Ensure the drain is clear before filling the sink with water. Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the sink, which could cause damage.
8. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your quartz sink.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your quartz sink regularly using a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth and mild dishwashing soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals such as oven cleaners, paint removers, or strong acids/alkalis, as these can damage the sink's surface.
- Prevent Stains: Rinse the sink immediately after contact with highly pigmented foods (e.g., coffee, tea, red wine) or strong dyes to prevent potential staining.
- Heat Resistance: While the sink is heat resistant, it is recommended to use a trivet or hot pad for extremely hot pots and pans to prevent thermal shock or discoloration over time.
- Hard Water Areas: In areas with hard water, mineral deposits may accumulate. Use a diluted vinegar solution or a specialized quartz sink cleaner to remove these deposits, then rinse thoroughly.
9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leaks Around Drain | Improperly sealed drain assembly. | Ensure drain assembly is installed correctly with plumber's putty or silicone sealant. Tighten all connections. |
| Water Spots/Mineral Buildup | Hard water deposits. | Clean regularly with a mild detergent. For stubborn spots, use a diluted vinegar solution or a specialized quartz cleaner, then rinse and dry. |
| Slow Drainage | Drain partially clogged. | Remove the drain stopper and clear any debris. Use a drain cleaner safe for plumbing if necessary. |
| Surface Discoloration | Exposure to strong dyes or harsh chemicals. | For minor discoloration, try a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid contact with strong chemicals. Contact manufacturer if severe. |
