Safety Guidelines
Personal Protection
Be sure to use all personal protective
equipment, such as sturdy work boots,
preferably with steel toes, gloves, and hard hat, if necessary,
to ensure your own safety. To prevent possible damage to
your hearing, always wear ear protection, such as earmuffs or
earplugs, when working around power tools.
Cutting Hazard
The installation of the Swanstone product may require
using power tools. Keep hands away from the cutting
edge of any tool used in the installation of our product.
Placing fingers in or around the cutting blades could result in
serious personal injury.
Sharp Edge Hazard
After cutting the edge of a Swanstone drop-in vanity
top, it can be sharp. Wear protective gloves to prevent
personal injury.
Room Temperature
Allow the Swanstone sink and silicone sealants
to adjust to room temperature for at least six
hours before installation. The product should not be installed
at temperatures below 65°F.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or
death.
Eye Protection
Be sure to use all personal protective equipment to
ensure your own safety. To avoid eye injury, always
wear protective glasses with side shields when using power
tools. Also, make sure no one else can be injured by flying
particles when using power tools.
Fire Hazard
Personal injury or death can result from a
fire caused by flammable liquids or
silicone sealants. Cleaners or solvents can be highly
explosive, resulting in personal injury or even death, when not
used properly. Clean up any flammable substance
immediately. Sparks or open flames can cause flammable
substances to ignite. DO NOT smoke while working on or
near any flammable substance.
Solvents Hazard
Follow all manufacturer’s safety instructions for silicone
sealants and denatured alcohol. Alcohol vapors are
both flammable and hazardous to breathe. Silicone vapors
may irritate eyes and nose. Personal injury can result from
improperly handling or use of products, such as denatured
alcohol. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for the safe use of these products. Ventilate any work area
before beginning to apply silicone sealants, cleaning agents, or
solvents.
Fumes Hazard
The fumes from the silicone and solvents used
by the installer can be harmful if used in an
unventilated room. Always work in a well-ventilated area. To
keep the area well-ventilated, open windows and use exhaust
fans. If adequate ventilation is not achievable or practical, use
respiratory protective equipment.
Dust Hazard
When cutting or drilling the Swanstone product,
use a dust collection method which prevents
dust particles from going into the air. Always work in a wellventilated area. Always use an OSHA approved dust mask
when cutting, drilling, or sanding Swanstone products.
Power Tool Hazard
To prevent personal injury or possible death,
always follow the electrical safety
recommendations of the power tool’s manufacturer. Do not
use power tools in an unsafe manner. Power tools should only
be connected to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit
interrupter (GFI).
Shock Hazard
Never use electric power tools around water,
condensation, or other liquids. Electric shock
can cause severe burns, significant injuries, and even death.
If an extension cord is required, always use an OSHA
approved extension cord. Power cords should only be
connected to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit
interrupter (GFI).
Electrical Shock Hazard
Contacting live electrical wiring with power tools
or hand tools can cause serious injury or death.
Make sure all related circuit breakers are turned OFF. Test for
live circuits or wiring inside any wall where installation of the
Swanstone product requires cutting into a wall.
Electrocution Hazard
Water and other liquids conduct electric current
and can create a short circuit, resulting in injury
or death. Keep all liquids away from electrical cords and
power tools. DO NOT create a short circuit between a source
of electricity and a liquid by being in contact with both
simultaneously.

12. Apply sealant to the bottom side of the sink ring
Note: When installing the sink ring and tail pipe, use
plumber’s putty sparingly and do not allow it to contact
the plastic overflow assembly under the sink.
To prevent breakage or distortion of the overflow assembly, do
not use oil-based caulking or plumber’s putty near the
overflow assembly. Oil-based plumber’s putty will have a
harmful effect on the plastic overflow assembly, resulting in a
leak. If a sealant is required between the overflow assembly
and the tail pipe, use a silicone sealant.
13. Install tail pipe onto the sink ring.
14. Tighten the tail pipe assembly onto the sink
Do not overtighten the nut when installing the tail pipe. Handtighten the nut and then tighten NO MORE than one-half turn.
Overtightening will break the overflow assembly and void the
warranty.
15. Connect the faucet supply lines per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
16. Connect the drain lines and p-trap per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
17. Check for leaks.
The installation is now complete. DO NOT discard these

Installation Procedure
ADA Installation Recommendations
In order to comply with ADA requirements, the lavatory must
have adequate floor clearances in front of the sink. It must
also be installed at the proper height with the specified leg and
wheel chair clearance under the sink. For complete wall
mount instructions, refer to the Wall Mount Vanity Tops and
Bowls, form number 1255.
Installing the vanity top using the supplied specifications does
not imply the bathroom in which it is installed will comply with
ADA standards. It is the responsibility of the installer/designer
to ensure that all the components of the bathroom are in
compliance with ADA standards, including the lavatory.
For complete guidelines and compliance, refer to ADA Section
606 Lavatories of the Act.
Clear Floor Space
A clear floor space, in front of the sink, for a forward approach
must be at least 30” (76.2 cm) wide and 48” (121.9 cm) long,
as shown in the illustration. These measurements are in
compliance with ADA standard 606.2.
Note: In residential bathrooms, cabinetry is permitted under
lavatory sink provided that all of the following conditions
are met:
(a) the cabinetry can be removed without removal or
replacement of the fixture;
(b) the finish floor extends under the cabinetry; and
(c) the walls behind and surrounding the cabinetry are
finished.
Accessibility Requirements
Note: Only lavatory installations in a public space must comply
with the knee and toe clearance dimensions, however we
recommend these standards be used for both private and
commercial installations. Also make sure that all state and
local building codes are followed when installing this unit.
• The top of the vanity should not exceed 34” (86.4 cm) from
the floor.
• The “knee space” below the apron of the vanity top should be
a minimum of 27” (68.6 cm) from the floor.
• The front edge of the sink should be between 17” (43.2 cm)
and 25” (63.5 cm) from the wall.
• The faucet should be a maximum of 19” (48.5 cm) from the
front of the sink.
• No part of the sink or the plumbing should be within the gray
area shown in the drawing.

Care and Cleaning
The Swanstone products are stain and abrasion resistant;
however, the finish requires reasonable care.
Because cleaning products change over time, always check the
manufacturer’s instructions to make sure it is compatible with
plastic. DO NOT use a cleaner if the label indicates it should
not be used on plastics. DO NOT use spray-on cleaners that
require daily use without immediately rinsing with water to stop
the chemical cleaning reaction because damage will result and
void the warranty.
Day-To-Day Cleanup
Clean your Swanstone vanity top with powdered abrasive
cleaners. Use of a Scotch Brite pad is recommended to
remove stubborn stains. Occasional use of a mild bleach and
water solution ensures that the original luster is maintained.
Simply wipe the surfaces with a clean towel to remove
watermarks and residues. All Swanstone products can be
cleaned with warm water, a soft cloth, and normal household
detergents or cleansers, such as Fantastic, Formula 409,
Clorox Clean-up, Handy Andy, Mr. Clean, or Lestoil. Always
rinse off cleaners within five minutes of application.
Occasional scrubbing with household abrasive cleaners
ensures that the original luster is maintained.
For the most stubborn stains, fill the Swanstone vanity bowl
about one-quarter full with a 50/50 solution of bleach and
water. After ten or fifteen minutes of soaking, drain solution
from the bowl as you wash and rinse both sides and bottom.
Note: Do not use steel wool or metal scourging pads
Cleaners designed to remove iron or rust should not harm
Swanstone.
White automotive rubbing compound may be used to remove
stubborn marks or discoloration.
Surface Repair
Light Scratches
Use 400 grit sandpaper to remove light scratches in the
surface.
Deep Scratches or Gouges
For deeper scratches or gouges, use 220 or 320 grit
sandpaper. A “Scotchbright pad” can be used to blend the
repair into the surrounding area.
