Important Information

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Cast iron sinks are
heavy. Get help when lifting or moving.

IMPORTANT! Before beginning this installation, refer to the
″Roughing-In″ section for cabinet dimensional requirements.

IMPORTANT! Before beginning this installation, cabinet must be
installed, secured, plumb, and level.

IMPORTANT! Long screws may damage adjacent cabinets. Ensure
the screws are long enough to secure the support framing, but short
enough not to extend through the inner walls of the adjacent
cabinets.

Due to the nature of undercounter installations, Kohler Co.
recommends that undercounter sink installations be performed by
trained and experienced installers.

Use proper fasteners and techniques to ensure that the frame will
support a minimum of 300 lbs (136 kg). Locate the fasteners for
easy access in the event the sink needs to be removed.

For K-6489 Only: This sink is intended for installation into a 36″
apron sink base cabinet.

For ease of installation, install the strainer assemblies to the sink
prior to installing the sink.

Inspect the drain and supply tubing; replace if necessary.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

Informations importantes

ATTENTION: Risque de blessures corporelles. Les éviers en
fonte sont lourds. Demander de l’aide pour soulever ou
déplacer l’évier.

IMPORTANT! Avant de commencer cette installation, se reporter à
la section ″Raccordement″ pour les dimensions requises pour le
meuble.

IMPORTANT! Avant de commencer cette installation, le meuble doit
être installé et fixé en place, d’aplomb et nivelé.

IMPORTANT! Des vis longues peuvent endommager les meubles
adjacents. S’assurer que les vis sont assez longues pour sécuriser le
cadrage de support, mais assez courtes pour ne pas se prolonger à
travers les murs intérieurs des meubles adjacents.

Vu la nature particulière des installations sous comptoir, Kohler
Co. recommande que les installations des éviers sous comptoir
soient effectuées par des installateurs formés et expérimentés.
