ATTENTION INSTALLER:

1) Elkay recommends that undermount sinks should be installed by a professional experienced installer.

2) WARNING: The enclosed cutout template will create a countertop opening that will expose approxi-

mately 1/2" of sink rim ledge. It is recommended that you discuss this with your customer and agree

that this finished appearance is the desired effect. Elkay is not responsible for improper sink or counter-

top installations. Due to the aesthetic qualities of the converging bowl radii, the template furnished

with each sink provides the only opening recommended for installation of Elkay undermount sinks. See

illustration above.

3) Elkay undermount sinks should only be fastened to a solid surface countertop (i.e. granite/Corian

Silestone

4) Elkay is not responsible for sink or countertop if damaged during installation.

5) Metal edges may be sharp – use caution when handling.

6) Follow all local plumbing and building codes.

7) Inspect sink for damage prior to beginning installation.
