5. Operation

The KoolMore 2 Compartment Sink is designed for versatile use in food preparation, washing, and utility tasks. Ensure the drain baskets are in place before filling the bowls with water.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your stainless steel sink.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, wipe down all surfaces of the sink, including bowls, drainboards, and backsplash, with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Drying: To prevent water spots and maintain the brushed finish, dry the sink with a clean, dry cloth immediately after cleaning.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, strong acids) as they can scratch or damage the stainless steel surface.
• Prevent Scratches: While designed for commercial use, stainless steel can scratch. Use cutting boards and avoid dragging heavy or sharp objects across the surface.
• Drain Maintenance: Regularly clean the drain baskets and strainers to prevent clogs and ensure efficient drainage.
