Installation Tips
Start by placing the sink upside down on the countertop and carefully tracing the rim so your cutout follows the oval shape. After cutting the opening, dry fitting ensures the bowl sits level and the rim contacts the surface evenly before you run a bead of silicone, complete the silicone setting, and wipe away excess sealant.
Maintenance
Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth to clean the glazed surface, then rinse and dry to prevent residue buildup. Avoid abrasives and harsh cleaners so you protect the glaze, preserve the portrait details, and keep the colors vivid for years.
