Important Information

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not modify the vanity. Doing so will compromise structural stability and may cause property damage.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Use care when moving the vanity to avoid impacting, sliding, or side-loading the legs.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Select 250 lb (113.4 kg) load bearing 5/16″ lag bolts with a length to clear obstacles in the wall and 5/16″ washers. Calculate proper lag bolt length by adding the following: 1-1/2″ (38 mm) backing material + wallboard thickness + back rail thickness.

NOTICE: Siliconized acrylic caulk must be used to secure the sink to the vanity. Do not use 100% silicone sealant which will damage the ﬁnish of the vanity.

NOTICE: The ﬁnished wall must be straight and plumb to ensure proper support of the vanity and alignment of the sink and door.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

Provide 2x6 backing material behind the ﬁnished wall to properly support the vanity.

2x6 Backing Material

32-1/2" (826 mm)

1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: If the K-2607 bridge cabinet will also be installed, extend the backing material a minimum of 12″ (305 mm) beyond the width of the vanity on the side where the bridge will be installed.

NOTICE: To properly secure the vanity, the top of the required 2x6 backing material must be 32-1/2″ (826 mm) from the ﬁnished ﬂoor.

Measure and mark 32-1/2″ (826 mm) up from the ﬁnished ﬂoor. This will be the height from the ﬁnished ﬂoor to the top of the 2x6 backing material.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the wall (such as wiring or plumbing) from the marked height down to the ﬂoor. If there are obstructions, select another area to install the vanity.

NOTICE: Extend the backing material beyond the width of the vanity to the nearest stud to ensure proper support for the vanity.

Front-notch the studs 1-1/2″ (38 mm) to ensure the 2x6 backing material is ﬂush against the studs.

Secure the 2x6 backing material to the studs with framing nails.

Rough-in the water supply and drain lines into the rough-in plumbing area of the vanity.

NOTICE: The ﬁnished wall must be straight and plumb to ensure proper support of the vanity and alignment of the sink and door.

2. Secure the Vanity

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Use care when moving the vanity to avoid impacting, sliding, or side-loading the legs.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Select 250 lb (113.4 kg) load bearing 5/16″ lag bolts with a length that can safely clear obstacles in the wall and 5/16″ washers. Calculate the proper length of the lag bolts by adding the following: 1-1/2″ (38 mm) backing material + wallboard thickness + back rail thickness.

With assistance, lift and place the vanity in position against the ﬁnished wall. Do not drag the vanity into position.

Verify the vanity is level and the back rail is plumb against the wall. If necessary, turn the leveler(s) to adjust the unit.

Using a 1/4″ drill bit, drill two pilot holes through the back rail and the ﬁnished wall. Verify the pilot holes are positioned to ensure the lag bolts will engage the 2x6 backing material.

Secure the vanity to the ﬁnished wall with two 5/16″ lag bolts and washers (not provided).

3. Install the Bathroom Sink

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Vitreous china sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting and aligning the sink.

Install the faucet (if applicable) and drain to the sink. Refer to the faucet and drain manufacturer’s installation instructions.

NOTICE: Siliconized acrylic caulk must be used to secure the sink to the vanity. Do not use 100% silicone sealant which will damage the vanity ﬁnish.

Run a 1/4″ (6 mm) continuous bead of siliconized acrylic caulk around the top of the vanity, as illustrated.

NOTE: The sink is properly positioned when: (1) the back edge of the sink is ﬂush against the ﬁnished wall and (2) the overhang on the left, right, and front side of the sink is equal on each side of the vanity.

With assistance, lift and properly position the sink on top of the vanity.

Immediately wipe away any excess caulk that contacts the vanity.

Run a 1/8″ (3 mm) bead of siliconized acrylic caulk along the top edge of the sink where it contacts the ﬁnished wall.

Care and Cleaning

For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your KOHLER product:

Vitreous China and Fireclay

•Use a mild detergent such as liquid dishwashing soap and warm water for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners that may scratch or dull the surface.

•Carefully read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is safe for use on the material.

•Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface.

•Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface.

Care and Cleaning (cont.)

•Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately after cleaner application. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands on nearby surfaces.

•Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.

Wood Surfaces

•As with any smooth surface, avoid using abrasive cleaners as they will scratch the surface. Wipe the wood surface regularly to prevent buildup of soap and scum.

•To protect against scratches, use felt, leather, or cork under all items placed on the wood surface. To conceal scratches, a touch-up marker is available for order. Contact a Kohler distributor or call 1-800-4-KOHLER for ordering information.

•Do not expose wood furniture to direct sunlight, drying heat sources, or dampness.

•Dust frequently with a soft cloth in the direction of the grain. Use only products speciﬁcally made for cleaning wood. Avoid using oily polishes or waxes, or products containing silicone. Blot spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth.

•Every six months, remove soil buildup by rubbing with a soft cloth dampened in a 50/50 solution of warm water and an ammonia-free detergent. Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in warm water, then wipe dry.
