Installation Instructions
Important: Professional Installation Recommended
Locate the position of the sink using the template provided
and make the cut-out from the countertop. Note: This
template will align the edge of the countertop to the
tangent of the top radius of the bowl (see illustration).
If there is a preference to show more reveal of sink
flange (lip), adjustments to the cut out need to be made
by installer.
Align the bowl under the countertop cut-out and
determine the location for the mounting brackets.
Mounting brackets have been supplied. Installer will
determine attachment method.
Attach the mounting brackets loosely to the countertop
from underneath, using the fastener and attachment
method recommended by the countertop supplier.

Only use natural stone or solid surface countertops such as acrylic, granite, marble and other composite material
for undermount installations. Franke accepts no liability for damage to solid surface countertops or sink fixtures
during installation. Because the mounting of undermount sinks to any countertop material is a specialized procedure,
we recommend that it be performed by a trained professional installer. Note: A cutting mistake will be costly. We
recommend comparing the template provided to the sink before cutting the countertop.
