Installation

This section outlines the steps for installing your Lordear drop-in laundry sink. For a visual guide, please refer to the installation video below.

1. Prepare the Countertop

Use the provided template to mark the cutout area on your countertop. Carefully cut the opening according to the template. The recommended opening size is 21½"W x 21½"D. Ensure your base cabinet is at least 24 inches wide to accommodate the sink.

Figure 1: Sink Dimensions and Cutout Guide. This diagram illustrates the external and internal dimensions of the sink, the recommended countertop opening size, and the minimum base cabinet width required for installation.

2. Place and Secure the Sink

Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the countertop opening. Carefully lower the sink into the opening. Ensure the sink is properly aligned. Use the provided mounting clips and screws to secure the sink firmly to the underside of the countertop. Tighten the screws evenly to create a watertight seal.

3. Install Drain Assembly

Install the drain assembly into the sink's drain opening. Ensure all gaskets and seals are correctly positioned to prevent leaks. Connect the drain to your plumbing system according to local codes. The sink features an X-shaped diversion water design for efficient drainage.

Operation

Using the Pull-Out Faucet

Your Lordear sink includes a versatile pull-out faucet with three distinct water flow patterns:

• Powerful Mode: Provides a strong, concentrated stream for heavy-duty cleaning.
• Spray Mode: Offers a wide spray pattern, ideal for rinsing dishes or the sink basin.
• Stream Mode: Delivers a steady, aerated flow for general tasks.

Switch between modes by pressing the button on the faucet head. The 360-degree swivel nozzle allows for flexible use.

Maintenance

General Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your stainless steel sink, wipe it with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid leaving acidic foods or harsh chemicals in the sink for extended periods.

Cleaning Stainless Steel

For routine cleaning, use a mild soap and warm water. Wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent streaking. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner can be used. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. The heavy-duty sound guard padding and anti-condensation spray undercoating help protect against noise and condensation buildup.

Troubleshooting

• Slow Drainage: Check the drain strainer for debris. Ensure the plumbing connections are clear and not obstructed.
• Leaks Around Sink Edge: Re-check the mounting clips for tightness. If necessary, apply additional silicone sealant around the sink's perimeter.
• Faucet Drips/Leaks: Ensure all faucet connections are tight. If dripping persists, the internal cartridge may need inspection or replacement by a qualified professional.
• Water Spots on Stainless Steel: These are common with hard water. Use a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
