Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your BLANCO DIAMOND SILGRANIT Super Single Kitchen Sink, Model 440195. Please read these instructions carefully before beginning installation or use to ensure proper function and longevity of your product. Adhering to these guidelines will help you maximize the benefits of your BLANCO sink.
Product Features
The BLANCO DIAMOND SILGRANIT Super Single Sink is crafted from SILGRANIT, a patented granite composite material known for its exceptional durability and resilience. This material is resistant to heat, scratches, stains, chips, and impacts, making it suitable for demanding kitchen tasks. Its non-porous, smooth stone surface is easy to clean and maintain.
This versatile sink features a dual-mount design, allowing for both drop-in and undermount installations. The large single bowl provides ample space for washing larger items like pots and pans. It comes pre-drilled for a single-hole faucet, with the option for up to six additional knock-out holes to accommodate various accessories.
Setup and Installation
The BLANCO DIAMOND SILGRANIT Super Single Sink can be installed as either a drop-in (top-mount) or undermount unit. The sink package includes necessary mounting hardware and a template to assist with countertop cutting and positioning. For optimal results and to ensure proper sealing and support, professional installation is recommended.
Ensure your cabinet base is adequately sized to support the sink's dimensions of 33.5 inches wide by 22 inches deep. Refer to the provided template for precise cutout measurements. Proper support for the sink is crucial, especially for undermount installations.
Operation
Using your BLANCO kitchen sink is straightforward. The single bowl design offers maximum space for various kitchen activities, from washing dishes to preparing food. The drain features a lift-and-turn mechanism for easy water control. Always ensure the drain is properly sealed when filling the sink and open when draining to prevent overflow.
Maintenance
To maintain the pristine appearance and durability of your BLANCO SILGRANIT sink, follow these care guidelines:
- Daily Cleaning: For routine cleaning, use a mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning. The non-porous surface repels liquids and residue, simplifying daily care.
- Stain Removal: SILGRANIT is highly stain-resistant. Most food and beverage stains can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner. For stubborn stains, a mixture of baking soda and water can be applied, left for a few minutes, then scrubbed gently and rinsed.
- Hard Water Spots: Mineral deposits from hard water can be removed with a solution of white vinegar and water. Apply, let sit, then scrub and rinse.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals such as drain cleaners containing sulfuric acid, as these can damage the surface. Avoid placing extremely hot items (over 536°F / 280°C) directly on the sink surface without protection.
Troubleshooting
- Slow Draining: Check the drain for food particles or debris. Use a plunger or a drain snake if necessary. Avoid chemical drain cleaners that are not safe for your plumbing or sink material.
- Scuff Marks: Minor scuff marks from metal utensils can often be removed with a gentle abrasive cleaner designed for composite sinks or a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
- Discoloration: Ensure regular cleaning to prevent buildup. If discoloration occurs, it may be due to mineral deposits or residue from certain foods; refer to stain removal tips in the Maintenance section.
