Key Features:

• Coated Stainless Steel Construction: Ensures durability and resistance to corrosion.
• Rubber Feet: Elevate the grid to prevent slipping and protect the sink surface.
• Custom Fit: Specifically designed to completely cover the base of the Franke Manor House MHK110-24 sink.

Important Note: Extremely hot temperatures will damage the coated finish. This grid is not recommended for use as a trivet for hot pots or pans directly from the stove or oven.

2. Setup and Installation

The Franke MK24-36C sink grid requires no complex installation. It is designed for simple placement within your compatible sink.

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the sink grid from its packaging.
2. Inspect: Check the grid for any signs of damage during transit.
3. Placement: Gently lower the grid into the bottom of your Franke MHK110-24 sink. Ensure the rubber feet are resting evenly on the sink surface.
4. Positioning: Adjust the grid until it sits securely and covers the entire base of the sink.

The rubber feet are crucial for elevating the grid, allowing water to drain freely and preventing direct contact between the metal grid and the sink's finish.

3. Operating Instructions

The sink grid serves multiple purposes to enhance your kitchen sink's functionality and longevity.

• Sink Protection: Place dishes, pots, and utensils on the grid to prevent scratches, chips, and other damage to the sink's bottom surface.
• Food Preparation: Use the grid as a stable surface for rinsing vegetables, draining pasta, or preparing food items directly in the sink.
• Air Drying: Allow washed items to air dry on the grid, promoting better airflow and quicker drying.
• Elevated Washing: The grid elevates items slightly, which can be beneficial for washing larger items or for general dishwashing tasks.

4. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Franke sink grid.

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe the grid with a dry cloth regularly to remove food particles and water spots.
• Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the coated finish.
• Rinse Thoroughly: After cleaning with soap, rinse the grid thoroughly with clean water.
• Dry Completely: Ensure the grid is completely dry before placing it back in the sink to prevent water spots or mineral buildup.
• Avoid Extreme Heat: As noted, do not place extremely hot items directly on the grid, as this can melt or damage the protective coating.

5. Troubleshooting

Addressing common concerns regarding your sink grid.

• Grid Does Not Fit: Ensure you have the correct model (MK24-36C) for your Franke MHK110-24 sink. This grid is custom-designed for this specific sink model. If your sink is a different model, the grid may not fit correctly.
• Coating Damage: If the coating shows signs of melting or splitting, it is likely due to exposure to high heat. Remember to avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on the grid.
• Grid Slipping: Verify that all rubber feet are intact and properly positioned. The rubber feet are designed to prevent slipping and elevate the grid.
• Stains or Discoloration: For persistent stains, ensure you are using only mild cleaning agents. Certain harsh chemicals or prolonged contact with highly acidic or alkaline substances can affect the coating.
