Installation Instructions...  
• As with all metal objects, follow proper handling techniques.  
• Freight handling and job site exposure may have damaged  
the sink.This sink should be examined for damage prior to  
enclosure/installation. Do not install a damaged sink. Return  
the sink to the dealer from whom you purchased it. Failure  
to do so will void the warranty.  
1.  
Fasten the masonite template (provided) to the 1/2”  
plywood sheet with 1/2” Phillips flathead screws.The  
screws must be flush with or below the top of the  
masonite template.  
• Installation of all KitchenAid™ Undermount sinks is based  
on “sandwiching” the rim of the sink between the  
countertop and 1/2” plywood reinforcement sheet (sink  
support).The reinforcement sheet rests on top of the  
cabinet.The front edge of the countertop must be built-up to  
hide this 1/2” underlayment.  
2.  
3.  
Drill a 5/16” pilot hole in the 1/2” plywood at a tangent  
to the masonite template, in order to begin the router  
cut.  
Create the female template from the 1/2” plywood  
sheet by using the 3/8” router guide bushing and the  
1/4” straight cutter bit, as shown.

Use & Care Guide  
Do routine cleaning  
Use soap, warm water and sponge. Rinse thoroughly  
and wipe dry.  
To maintain luster  
Use a small amount of mineral oil on a soft cloth. Apply  
evenly to the entire surface of the sink and buff to a  
shiny finish.  
To remove stubborn stains  
Use any cleaner acceptable for use on stainless steel.  
Always rub in the direction of the grain. Rinse  
thoroughly and wipe dry.  
Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, steel brushes,  
etc.Their particles may become embedded in the sink  
surface and cause a rusty discoloration.
