AFTER THE CUTOUT IS DRAWN...

Drill a clearance hole inside the cutout line as marked on the countertop.

Cut opening on cut line inside the perimeter of

sink. Note - Formica countertop installation only is illustrated. Contact your countertop distributor for the best method of cutting other materials such as marble, hard synthetics, etc.

Mount the faucet and

drain assembly on the sink or countertop following the manufacturer's instructions.

Before applying the sealant, place the sink temporarily

into the cutout. Check for alignment and clearance, then trace around the outside edge of the sink as a guide for installation location and application of sealant.

and press down firmly. Use guidelines for proper positioning. Using water to dampen your finger, remove excess sealant for a smooth even line. Apply additional sealant if necessary to provide a uniform bead from the rim of sink to the masking tape line as shown. Carefully remove tape. Dampen finger and run it slightly over the sealant to remove any high spots. Use mineral spirits to remove excess silicone from countertop and sink.

This warranty extends for the lifetime of the product, so long as it remains in use in its original place of installation, except that the warranty applies to a bathing vessel’s slip-resisting surface only for the first year after the product’s initial installation.

This warranty does not apply to whirlpool components or to faucets, drains, mounting rims, grab bars or other accessories. If manufactured or supplied by AmericanStandard, such whirlpool components and accessories are covered under separate limited warranties.

This warranty does not apply to local building code compliance. Since local building codes vary considerably, the purchaser of this product should check with a local building or plumbing contractor to assure local code compliance before installation.

This warranty shall be void if the Americast® brand product has been moved from its initial place of installation; if it has been subjected to faulty maintenance, abuse, misuse, accident or other damage; if it was not installed in accordance with AmericanStandard’s instructions; or if it was modified in a manner inconsistent with the product as shipped by American-Standard.

American-Standard's option to repair or exchange the product under this warranty does not cover any labor or other costs of removal or installation, nor shall American-

Standard be responsible for any other incidental or consequential damages attributable to a product defect or to the repair or exchange of a defective product, all of which are expressly excluded from this warranty. (Some states or provinces do

not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so this exclusion may not apply to you.) This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other statutory rights that vary from state to state or from province to province, in which case this warranty does not affect such statutory rights.

CARE AND CLEANING...

For all porcelain enamel surfaces, regular, gentle care is best. The recommended way to preserve the finish, avoid scratches, and clean porcelain enamel fixtures is to rinse them with detergent and water. Generally, any of the light duty liquid dishwashing detergents, such as Palmolive or Dawn, work well. In areas where the water is hard, a heavy duty liquid laundry detergent such as liquid Tide will work better.
