4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and aesthetic appeal of your SCHOCK CRISTADUR sink. The CRISTADUR material is known for its fine, silky premium surface, smooth structure, intense color, easy-care pearl effect, and resistance to impacts, shocks, and scratches.

4.1 Daily Cleaning

• After each use, rinse the sink thoroughly with water to remove any food residues or liquids.

4.3 Preventing Damage

• Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the sink, despite its resistance to impacts.
• Do not expose the sink to extreme heat (e.g., placing hot pots directly from the stove without protection) for prolonged periods.

5. Troubleshooting

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

5.1 Slow Drainage
