Installation Sheet

1. Prepare the Sink Base Cabinet:

Due to the variety of potential installation options, this guide is a general overview and not a plan.

Farmhouse sinks require custom cabinets with a front cutout to accommodate a 10" deep sink. Build a

plywood platform on a support frame inside of the cabinet. Platform must be able to support the weight of

the sink and any attachments such as garbage disposals. When the sink is placed onto a platform, make

sure the top of the sink is evenly flush against the bottom of the countertop. Allow clearance for water

supply line and drains or garbage disposal, as necessary.

Set the sink on top of the cabinet or into the cabinet front cutout. Apply sealant as necessary as a gasket

between the sink and cabinet, and to hold the sink in place.

2. Make a Template and Cutout

3. Set the Sink

For undermount installations, carefully clean bottom of countertop and top flange of sink with denatured

alcohol. Apply bead of silicone adhesive (not supplied) around the top edge of the sink. Place countertop

onto the sink. Remove excess sealant from the lip or any surfaces with a cleaner recommended by the

sealant manufacturer. For flushmount or protruding installations apply a bead of silicone in the seam

between the countertop and sink. Wipe off any excess and allow to cure for 24 hours before use.

4. Install the Countertop

The installation option you choose will

determine how you cut your countertop.

Miseno recommends a 1/4" reveal on 3 sides

when installed undermount style. For a flush

mount or protruding installation, cut countertop along

the outside line of the sink profile. The front of a Miseno

Farmhouse sink is designed to be installed with 3/4” of the face

extended out beyond the front edge of the countertop. Cut the

countertop accordingly. No template is provided due to the custom

nature of each application and installation. The actual sink is used

as the template guide. After centering the sink and allowing for

any faucets and backsplash, use a pencil to outline the sink as

your guide for the cutout. Check your reveal

on all sides before cutting.
