Before installation, please verify that all components are present and undamaged:

• SCHOCK Typos D-150S Granite Composite Sink
• 3.5-inch Waste Kit
• Basket Strainer
• Eccentric Control (Remote Waste Operation)

3. Setup and Installation

The SCHOCK Typos D-150S sink is designed for integrated installation and is reversible, allowing the main bowl and drainer to be positioned on either the left or right side to suit your kitchen layout. A minimum base cabinet width of 60 cm is required.

5. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your SCHOCK CRISTALITE sink, follow these care guidelines:

• Daily Cleaning: Clean the sink gently with mild, non-abrasive detergents and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning.
• Stain Removal: Immediately remove spilled liquids and food residues, especially those with strong coloring agents (e.g., coffee, tea, red wine, fruit juices) to prevent potential staining. For stubborn stains, a diluted solution of vinegar or a specialized granite sink cleaner can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, strong acids, alkalis, or chemical drain cleaners, as these can damage the CRISTALITE surface.
• Heat Resistance: While CRISTALITE is highly heat-resistant, it is advisable to use a trivet or heat pad for extremely hot pots and pans to prevent thermal shock and potential damage over time.
• Impact and Scratch Resistance: The material is robust, but avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the sink to prevent chipping or deep scratches.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SCHOCK Typos D-150S sink, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Slow Drainage: Check the basket strainer for food debris or blockages. Ensure the waste pipework is correctly installed and free from obstructions.
• Water Leaks: Inspect all connections of the waste kit and plumbing for proper sealing. Tighten any loose connections, but do not overtighten. Replace worn seals if necessary.
• Stains or Discoloration: Refer to the 'Maintenance and Care' section for cleaning instructions. Ensure immediate removal of staining substances.
• Faucet/Dispenser Instability: Ensure the faucet or dispenser is securely fastened to the sink or countertop according to its specific installation instructions.

If problems persist, contact a qualified plumber or SCHOCK customer support for assistance.
