5.1. Drain Control
- To close the drain and fill the sink, push or turn the eccentric control knob (depending on the model of control).
- To open the drain and empty the sink, pull or turn the eccentric control knob.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
The Cristadur material is highly durable and easy to maintain. Regular cleaning will preserve its appearance and hygiene.
6.1. Daily Cleaning
- Wipe the sink with a soft cloth or sponge and mild dish soap after each use.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
6.2. Stain Removal
- For stubborn stains, use the provided MiniCare kit or a non-abrasive cream cleaner specifically designed for granite composite sinks.
- Apply the cleaner, let it sit for a few minutes if necessary, then scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry.
6.3. Avoid
- Do not use abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners (e.g., oven cleaner, drain cleaner, strong acids/alkalis).
- Avoid placing extremely hot pots or pans directly on the sink surface without protection, although Cristadur is heat-resistant, prolonged extreme heat can cause damage.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaks around the sink edge | Improper sealant application or loose mounting clips. | Reapply silicone sealant and tighten mounting clips. |
| Slow drainage | Drain blockage or improper drain assembly. | Clear the basket strainer and drain pipe. Check drain assembly for correct installation. |
| Water spots or dull finish | Hard water deposits or insufficient drying after use. | Use a mild descaling agent or vinegar solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Regular drying prevents spots. |
