GENERAL ADVICE

1. Unpack the sink and inspect for any
shipping damage before starting the
installation.
If damage is evident, do not install the
sink. Contact the store where the sink
was purchased.
2. Franke Consumer Products and
Franke Kindred Canada accepts no
liability for damage to the countertop, or
sink fixture during installation.
3. Installation of this fireclay product
requires custom cabinetry.
Franke Consumer Products and Franke
Kindred Canada recommends that
an experienced cabinet maker build
the new cabinet, or is responsible for
modifications to existing cabinets for
this product.
Franke Consumer Products and Franke
Kindred Canada accepts no liability
for damage to the countertop, or sink
fixture during installation.
4. Due to the nature of the fireclay
manufacturing process, each sink
produced will vary dimensionally.
For this reason, no cut out templates
are supplied. To ensure a proper fit
between the sink and the cabinet,
and any supporting framing, Franke
Consumer Products and Franke Kindred
Canada recommends providing the
cabinet maker with the actual sink to be
installed.
5. Always consult the manufacturers
safety recommendations (safe practices
and protective equipment) when using
any power tools.
6. We recommend that in order to
avoid personal injury, and to also
avoid potential damage to the sink,
that a wood frame be designed and
constructed to support a load of at
least 300 pounds (this load estimate
represents the weight of an average
fireclay sink filled to capacity, and
includes provision for any extra loading
by a waste disposer). This wood
frame will not be required for drop-
in installations where the sink rim is
mounted on top of the countertop.
7. Fireclay sinks can be heavy
(depending on the configuration, they
will vary from 20 to over 130 pounds).
Please use assistance when lifting the
sink in order to avoid personal injury.
