3. Faucet Holes: Faucet holes can be identified by the faucet hole
emboss on the underside of the faucet deck and the corresponding
circular labels located on the faucet deck top surface. Before
punching the holes please verify that the circular labels are properly
centered over the faucet emboss. The faucet hole should be
carefully penetrated FROM ABOVE THE SINK using chisel or screw
driver and tapping lightly on the circular labels. (See illustration B).
If necessary the hole can been enlarged using a metal hole saw, a
jigsaw with a metal cutting blade
or a metal file.
4. Attach faucet, drain fittings and accessories according to the
