If you encounter any installation or performance problems, please don't hesitate to contact us. Our phone numbers and website are listed on the back cover. Thanks again for choosing Kohler Company.

Before You Begin

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Large sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

Prior to installation, unpack the new sink and inspect it for damage. Return the sink to its protective carton until you are ready to install it.

This sink is not intended for undercounter installation.

Inspect the drain and supply tubing. Replace if necessary.

If possible, assemble the faucet and strainer to the sink before installing the sink.

For a replacement installation, make sure the existing cut-out is the same size or smaller than the cut-out for the new sink.

Trace the sink outline onto the countertop with a pencil. Do not cut along this line.

Draw a line 1/4² (6mm) inside the sink outline.

For Models: K-3222, K-3231, K-3232, K-3224, K-3228,

2. Install the Sink

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Large sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.

Carefully cut along the inside line to cut out the opening in the countertop.

Carefully place the sink upside down and attach the mounting clip onto the ªJº channel.

Hand tighten the screw until the mounting clip fully engages the ²J² channel.

Space the rest of the fasteners equally around the sink. Rotate the clamps so they are parallel to the sink edge and tighten the nuts.

Install the faucet and strainer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Apply a bead of quality sealant to the underside of the sink rim.

Set the sink into the cut-out and position squarely.

Starting with the fasteners located in the middle of each side, loosen the nuts and rotate the clamps over the countertop.

Tighten the hex nuts from under the sink until a watertight seal is obtained. Do not tighten using the screw.

Rotate the remaining clamps and tighten the hex nuts until the entire rim is sealed. Do not overtighten. It is only necessary to draw the rim down ®rmly to the countertop.

NOTE: The fasteners may need to be repositioned to compensate for an uneven countertop.
