With sink in the upside-down position, place a continuous and generous bead of
silicone sealant or plumber’s putty around the entire perimeter of the rim. This
serves as a watertight seal.
Lift sink, turn face-up and lower into the countertop opening.
Line up front rim with the front edge of the counter.
Twist clamps so the teeth swing under the counter.
Underneath the countertop, begin tightening clips with a screwdriver in an even
fashion, alternating sides while tightening until the entire rim is sealed.
Do not overtighten. It is only necessary to draw the rim down snugly to the
countertop.
Wipe excess sealant from perimeter with a wet cloth.
Apply a bead of silicone
sealant or plumber’s putty
around the rim.

Step 5
For best results, opt for a mild liquid soap and a wet cloth to gently clean your sink. Avoid using harsh chemicals and
rough brushes/sponges. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly and towel dry.
Stains: On mirror finish surfaces, use a metal polish recommended for stainless steel. All other finishes can be
cleaned with mild abrasives. Always rub with the grain where applicable.
Caution: Steel wool pads leave tiny particles that may cause rust spots. Chlorine bleach can cause corrosion and
pitting. Drain cleaners with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid can attack stainless steel.

Turn on water supply and examine all connections for leaks. If leak appears, tighten joint slightly. Do not overtighten.
With stopper in place, fill sink and examine area under sink and around drain flange for leaks.
