Usage Features:
The installation process for Kraus Glass Vessel Sinks is designed for above-counter mounting. Key steps include:
- Countertop Preparation: Drilling a 1 3/4" diameter drain hole at the desired location. The countertop must be flat.
- Mounting Ring Placement: Positioning the mounting ring over the drain hole with the rubber side facing down and the white washer side facing up.
- Sink Placement: Gently setting the vessel sink on top of the mounting ring.
- Pop-Up Drain Installation (if included):
- Disassemble the pop-up drain, removing the tail piece, brass nut, firm washer, and concave washer, leaving only the top thin rubber washer.
- Insert the drain body from above the countertop into the 1 3/4" drain opening of the sink.
- From underneath the countertop, slide the concave white rubber washer onto the drain until it contacts the countertop.
- Insert the firm washer onto the drain body until it contacts the concave white rubber washer.
- Screw the brass nut onto the drain body until it touches the firm washer.
- Important Note: Do not overtighten the drain components.
Maintenance Features:
The manual includes a warranty section that outlines important care and maintenance guidelines, primarily by specifying actions that will void the warranty. These include:
- Avoiding abrasive cleaners such as powders, bleach, ammonia, alcohol, or chlorine.
- Not using abrasive pads, steel wool, or wire brushes, as these can damage and wear down the finish.
- Following the care and installation instructions provided with the product.
