supply lines and the structural parts of the cabinet. Do not use permanent markers to indicate the center lines.

Cut the inner portion from the supplied template and discard.

Attach the outer portion of the template to the countertop using masking tape. Be sure that the center lines on
the template are aligned with those on the counter.

A. After cutout is complete, mark underside of countertop at approximate locations shown in 1 for appropriate

model. Locate holes 1" back from cutout edge. Drill 1/4" diameter holes ('E' drill) 1/4" deep for brass inserts.
Tap in brass inserts, slotted end first.

Maintenance for stainless steel sinks:

To keep the original quality of your Stainless Steel Sink, we recommend regular cleaning. Use a mild liquid
dish detergent and water to clean the product after use. Rinse carefully and dry.

Please have the following in mind:

• Do not let water or other liquids dry on the product. Liquids that are left to dry leave a grey build-up
stain on the steel.

• Stainless steel can stand hard treatment, but sharp objects can easily scratch the surface. These
scratches are more visible when the product is new. After a period of use these marks will be
smoothed out without the product losing it luster.

• Never use scouring powder or steel wool to clean the surface. Apart from the risk of scratches, there
is also a risk that rust stains will attack the steel.

• Avoid Chlorine-based solutions from coming into contact with the stainless steel.

• Silver polish leaves spots that cannot be removed.

• Acidic foods (e.g. juices, salt, mustard, mayonnaise, etc.) must be cleaned up immediately.

Discoloration

More stubborn spots are often caused by impurities in the water or household substances. These can be
removed with special polish agents for stainless steel. Dull spots can become lustrous again if rubbed with
chalk on a soft cloth.

AMERICAN-STANDARD LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR STAINLESS STEEL SINKS

American-Standard warrants to the original purchaser consumer of an American-Standard stainless steel sink that it will, at
its option, repair or replace such product if it is found by American-Standard, in its sole judgment, to be defective under
normal residential use, provided that it has been installed and maintained in accordance with American-Standard's
instructions. This limited warranty applies only to the initial installation and is not transferable from the original consumer
purchaser. In the event of a limited warranty claim, proof of purchase will be required – save sales receipt.

This limited lifetime warranty DOES NOT COVER the following:

1. Defects or damages arising from shipping, installation, alterations, accidents, abuse, misuse, environmental factors, lack
of proper maintenance and use of other than genuine American Standard replacement parts, in all cases whether caused by
a plumbing contractor, service company, the owner or any other person.

2. Deterioration through normal wear and tear and the expense of normal maintenance.

3. Commercial application.

4. Options and accessories. American-Standard’s limited warranty on these items is one year for parts only. This one year
limited warranty covers accessories manufactured by American-Standard against defects of material or workmanship.
Limited warranty coverage begins on the date the accessory was originally purchased by the owner.

5. Postage or shipping costs for returning products for repairs or replacement under this limited warranty and labor or other
costs incurred in connection with product removal or installation under this limited warranty.

6. ANY LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LABOR, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED, OR THE EXTENSION BEYOND THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OF ANY IMPLIED
LIMITED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR AN INTENDED PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT
WILL AMERICAN STANDARD BE LIABLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF ANY INSTALLATION MATERIALS
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TILES, MARBLE ETC. (Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied
limited warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations and
exclusions may not apply to you.)

7. Responsibility for compliance with local code requirements. (Since local code requirements vary greatly distributors,
retailers, dealers, installation contractors and users of plumbing products should determine whether there are any code
restrictions on the installation or use of a specific product.)

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other legal rights that vary from state to state or from
province to province.
