Using this Elkay sink is a breeze. Just place your dishes or other items in the large single bowl for washing. The center drain makes sure water flows out smoothly. For installation, since it's a drop - in sink, use the U - Channel mounting clips as directed. You won't have to spend too much time under the sink. When it comes to maintenance, clean the sink regularly with a mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the 20 - gauge stainless steel surface. If you notice any sound or vibration, check the sound - deadening pads. Also, ensure that the drain is clear to prevent clogs. With proper care, this sink will serve you well for years to come.
