Setup and Installation

This section provides general guidelines for installing your FRANKE S2D 611-78 XL kitchen sink. Professional installation is recommended.

1. Pre-Installation Checks

• Verify all components are present and undamaged.
• Ensure the cabinet base unit has a minimum width of 600 mm to accommodate the sink.
• Confirm countertop material is suitable for built-in sink installation.

2. Countertop Cut-out

Using the provided template (if applicable) or the specified dimensions, carefully mark and cut the opening in your countertop. The recommended cut-out dimensions are 764 mm (length) x 484 mm (width).

3. Sink Placement and Sealing

• Apply a suitable sealant (e.g., silicone) around the edge of the cut-out to create a watertight seal.
• Carefully lower the sink into the opening. The sink is reversible, allowing the drainer to be positioned on either the left or right side.
• Secure the sink using the provided mounting clips or fasteners according to the manufacturer's instructions.

4. Plumbing Connections

• Connect the waste kit, including the siphon, to the sink's drain opening (3 1/2'' drain size).
• Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
• If installing a waste disposer, ensure it is compatible and follow its specific installation instructions. The sink is designed to allow for the mounting of a waste disposer.

Operating Instructions

The FRANKE S2D 611-78 XL sink is designed for ease of use in your kitchen.

1. General Use

• Use the main basin for washing dishes, preparing food, and other kitchen tasks.
• The ribbed drainer area is suitable for drying dishes or draining excess water from food items.

2. Automatic Waste Plug

The sink features an automatic waste plug controlled by a button, along with a hidden overflow. To operate:

• Locate the control button, typically positioned on the sink's rim or countertop nearby.
• Press the button to close the waste plug and fill the basin with water.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Tectonite sink.

1. Daily Cleaning

• After each use, rinse the sink thoroughly with clean water to remove any food particles or residue.
• Wipe the sink dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and limescale buildup.
• For general cleaning, use a mild dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth.

2. Stain Removal

• For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cream cleaner specifically designed for composite sinks.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the Tectonite surface.
• Rinse thoroughly after cleaning to remove all cleaning agent residues.

3. Preventing Damage

• The sink is resistant to scratches, UV rays, and impacts, but extreme force or sharp objects can still cause damage.
• Avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on the sink surface without a protective trivet.
• Do not pour strong chemicals (e.g., paint stripper, oven cleaner) into the sink, as they may cause discoloration or damage.
