Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Teka kitchen sink. The sink is made of stainless steel with a polished finish.

• Daily Cleaning: Clean the sink regularly with warm water and a mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots, especially in hard water areas.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based cleaners) as these can scratch or damage the stainless steel and polished finish.

• Prevent Scratches: Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the sink. Use a sink grid or mat to protect the bottom surface from scratches.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your kitchen sink.

• Slow Drainage:
  • Check the drain for food debris or blockages.
  • Ensure the waste kit is correctly assembled and not obstructed.
  • If the issue persists, a plumber may be required to inspect the plumbing system.
• Water Spots/Stains:
  • These are often caused by mineral deposits from hard water. Wipe the sink dry after each use.
  • Use a stainless steel cleaner specifically designed to remove water spots.
• Scratches:
  • Stainless steel can scratch. Minor scratches can sometimes be blended with a fine abrasive pad (always rub in the direction of the grain) or a stainless steel scratch repair kit. Consult a professional if unsure.
  • Prevent future scratches by using a sink grid.
• Leaks:
  • Immediately turn off the water supply.
  • Inspect all plumbing connections and seals for proper seating and tightness.
  • If a seal is damaged, it may need replacement. Contact a qualified plumber.
