Frequently Asked Questions - SRS36 ZLine

Can I install this sink as undermount or top mount?

Yes, the SRS-36 supports both installations. Use the provided templates and follow the instructions for either method. Undermount requires a support frame; top mount uses clips.

How do I clean and maintain the stainless steel finish?

Rinse thoroughly after each use and towel dry to prevent mineral deposits. Weekly, use a mild abrasive cleaner like Comet, rubbing in the direction of the grain. Avoid steel wool or bleach.

What accessories are included with the sink?

The package includes a bottom grid, basket strainer, and microfiber cloth. Some models also include a cutting board.

How do I prevent scratches on the sink surface?

Usage scratches are normal and blend over time. Do not use the sink as a cutting board. Use the bottom grid for protection and clean with grain direction.

SINK INSTALLATION

Before Installation

Inspect the sink for any visible defects. Do not install the sink if defects are found. Call customer service for assistance.

Remove the drain by unscrewing the screw from the drain until it is completely separated from the sink.

Top Mount Installation

1. Trace the opening.

Locate the "top mount" template in the box.

Carefully cut along the dotted lines. Keep the inside portion of the template. It contains important information concerning the care and maintenance for your sink. Place the template on the counter where you would like your sink to be installed.

When installing the template, make sure that the tank will not interfere with cabinet doors or panels. Ensure that there is enough space for the water supply installation. Fix the template on the counter using masking tape. Trace the inside of the template meticulously with a pencil. Remove the template.

OR

Turn the sink upside down and place it on top of the counter. Note the location of cabinet doors and panels to ensure that they will be compatible with the sink installation.

Ensure that there is enough space for the water supply installation.

Trace the outer edge of the sink with a pencil, then remove the sink.

Measure 7 mm from the initial sink measurement and trace another line on the inside of the drawing. This second line will be the cutting line.

2. Cut the Opening

Using the drill, make a small starting hole of about 1.2 cm (0.5 in) on the inside of the cutting line. Drill a second time in this same hole with a larger bit so the jigsaw can be inserted properly.

Put masking tape on the outer side of the cutting line. This will protect the counter from scratches and shattered fragments caused by the jigsaw.

Using the jigsaw, trim the inside of the cutting line.

Insert the sink and adjust the opening if required.

CARE AND CLEANING

Easy Cleaning Instructions

Rinsing is the most important part of sink care. A stainless steel sink finish will retain its original bright appearance if the sink is rinsed thoroughly after each use. Running the water from the spray hose for a few minutes will be thorough. Typically, a rinse and towerl drying after each use take care of most everyday clean ups. Ideally, once a week the sink should be scoured with a mildly abrasive cleaner, such as Comet. Rubbing back and forth in the direction of the polish or grain lines will not only remove stubborn stains and greasy film buildups, but will blend usage scratches into the satin finish of the sink. After scouring, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

Scratches

Like most metals, your new stainless steel sink will scratch. These are merely usage scratches and over time will blend into the overall finish of your sink with proper cleaning.

Knives

Your sink is designed to serve as many things but not as a cutting board or chopping block. This type of use will lead to deep scratches in the sink finish and will dull your knives.

Water Quality

The quality of your water can affect your sink's appearance. If your water has a high iron content, a brown surface stain can form on the wink giving the appearance of rust. Additionally, in areas with a high concentration of minerals, or with oversoftened water, a white film may develop on the sink. To combat these problems, we suggest that the sink be towel dried after use, and again, on a weekly basis, the sink should be cleaned using a recommended cleanser.

Foods

Heavy salt concentration or foods containing high levels of salt should not be allowed to dry on the sink surface. Rinse your sink thoroughly after use.

DOS AND DON'TS

Do rinse thoroughly after each use.

Do towerl dry after each use to prevent mineral deposits from building up on the surface of the sink.

Do clean the sink once a week, being sure to rub in the direction of the satin finish grain lines.

Do use a bottom grid or rinsing basket to "protect" the finish. Bottom grids and rinsing baskets can remain in the sink and will not cause rusting or pitting.

Do Not rub the sink across the satin finish lines. Scouring across the satin finish lines can damage the original sink finish.

Do Not allow soap or other household cleansers to dry on the surface of the sink. Most brands contain chemical additives which will affect the original finish.

Do Not use solutions of chlorine bleach and water in the sink. Chlorides, which are found in most soaps, detergents, bleaches, and cleansers, are very aggressive to stainless steel. If left on the sink too long they can cause surface pitting.

Do Not use a steel wool pad to clean your sink. If a more abrasive product is needed, use a green Scotch Brite pad being sure to rub in the direction of the satin finish grain lines. Steel wool pads have a tendency to break apart and small particles of steel can become embedded in the surface of the sink. The steel particles will rust and will give the appearance that the sink itself is rusting.

Do Not use rubber mats or dishpans in the sink. Leaving rubber mats or dishpans in the sink can lead to surface rust or possible pitting. However, if you insist on using mats or dishpans, please remove them after each use and rinse thoroughly.

Do Not leave wet sponges, cloths, or cleaning pads on the sink. This can lead to surface rust.

Following these recommendations for the care and cleaning of your stainless steel sink will insure that it will provide you with many years of service.
