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.

materials or workmanship, after inspection by an authorized American-Standard 
representative, American-Standard will repair or, at its option, exchange the product for a 
similar model. This warranty extends for the lifetime of the product, so long as it remains

This warranty applies only to the original purchaser and installation of these products.
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

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.
 For service under these warranties, it is suggested that a claim be made through the 
contractor or dealer from or through whom the product was purchased, or that a service

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.
