1. Prepare the Countertop
For existing installations, carefully lift the old sink out of the
countertop. Compare the existing cut-out to the required cut-out
size. If needed, enlarge the cut-out hole according to the
directions for new installations.
NOTE: The front edge of the sink should be at least 1/2" (1.3 cm)
from the countertop edge.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. The
sink is heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.
For new installations, carefully place the sink upside down on the
countertop in the desired position. Be careful not to damage the
sink finish. Make sure the sink will not interfere with the cabinet.
Trace the sink outline on the countertop. Do not cut along this
line.
Draw a line 3/8" (1 cm) inside the sink outline.
Before cutting, measure the cut-out line you just drew and
compare it to the overall sink dimensions. The cut-out line should
be approximately 3/4" (1.9 cm) smaller than the overall sink
dimensions.
Drill a pilot hole inside the cutting line. Using a jigsaw or keyhole
saw, cut along the inside line to cut out the opening in the
countertop.
