1. RiverStone Quartz™ countertops should be stored in original packaging.

2. When handling your countertops, it is important to carry on edge to avoid damage

(Fig.A).

Be careful, RiverStone™ countertops are heavy.

3. The day before installation, the tops should be brought into the room they are to

be installed in. Be sure to allow 24 hours for the countertops to acclimate to room

temperature. Never install cold quartz countertops. Installation kits should always

be stored at room temperature to avoid freezing of the caulks and adhesives.

RiverStone Quartz™ countertops must be mounted to an even surface. Failure to

straighten cabinet will cause stress and possibly damage the tops.

1. Use a 48" level to find any non-level areas

(Fig.B).

2. Level if possible. If not, mark these areas, so that later in the installation process,

you can shim the countertops to a flat surface.
