Installation and Handling Guidelines

⚠️ IMPORTANT: UNDERMOUNT SINK INSTALLATION PROTOCOL

• Countertop Material Compatibility: Intended for solid surface materials such as quartz, granite, marble, or quartzite. Not recommended for laminate countertops unless specialized undermount support systems are installed.
  
  
• Fabrication Cutout Template: Always use the physical sink or official MSI 2318 cutout template to trace and fabricate stone countertop openings prior to installation.
  
  
• Watertight Fastening: Secure the sink flange to the underside of the countertop using approved undermount mounting clips and brackets. Apply a continuous bead of 100% silicone sealant along the flange edge to ensure a watertight seal.
  
  
• Standard Plumbing Opening: The 3.5-inch drain opening fits all standard kitchen basket strainers, pop-up assemblies, and continuous-feed garbage disposals.
  
  

Care and Maintenance

• Routine Cleaning: Wash regularly with warm water, mild liquid dish soap, and a soft microfiber cloth or non-abrasive sponge. Always wipe parallel to the brushed satin grain lines.
  
  
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use steel wool pads, wire brushes, chlorine bleach, or harsh acidic solvents, which can scratch the finish or compromise the steel’s protective oxide layer.
  
  
• Preventing Water Spots: Towel dry after use to prevent hard water mineral deposits and spot buildup.
