3.3 Undermount Sink Installation Steps
Follow these steps for proper undermount installation:
- Preparare il piano di lavoro: Use the provided template (if applicable) to mark the cutout area on the underside of your countertop. Ensure the cutout dimensions are appropriate for a 16" square sink. Carefully cut the opening using a jigsaw or suitable cutting tool. Smooth any rough edges.
- Applicare il sigillante: Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the sink opening on the underside of the countertop.
- Posizionare il lavandino: Carefully lift the sink and align it with the countertop opening from below. Press firmly to ensure good contact with the sealant.
- Mettere in sicurezza il lavandino: Attach the mounting clips and screws to the underside of the countertop, engaging the sink rim. Tighten the screws evenly until the sink is securely fastened and the sealant creates a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
- Collegare l'impianto idraulico: Install the drain assembly (grid type) into the sink opening according to the manufacturer's instructions. Connect the P-trap and other plumbing components to the drain. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
- Test per perdite: Once all connections are made, turn on the water supply and fill the sink. Check thoroughly for any leaks around the drain, connections, and the sink's perimeter. Tighten any leaking connections as needed.

5. Manutenzione
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your stainless steel sink.
5.1 Istruzioni per la pulizia
- Pulizia giornaliera: Dopo ogni utilizzo, pulire il lavandino con un panno asciutto e morbido per evitare macchie d'acqua e accumuli di minerali.
- Pulizia regolare: For general cleaning, use a mild soap or detergent with warm water and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
- Macchie ostinate: For more stubborn stains, a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner can be used. Always follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions and rinse thoroughly.
5.2 What to Avoid
- Detergenti abrasivi: Do not use steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh scouring powders, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.
- Chlorine Bleach: Avoid cleaners containing chlorine bleach, as it can cause pitting and corrosion on stainless steel.
- Acidic Foods/Liquids: Prolonged contact with highly acidic foods (e.g., citrus juices, vinegar) or liquids can stain or damage the finish. Rinse the sink promptly after contact.
- Oggetti metallici: Avoid leaving metal objects (e.g., cast iron pots, steel utensils) in the sink for extended periods, as they can cause rust spots.
