Troubleshooting

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

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Slow Drainage: Check the drain basket for food debris. If using a garbage disposal, ensure it is clear. For persistent issues, the P-trap may need cleaning.
• Leaks Around Drain: Ensure the drain assembly is properly tightened and that plumber's putty or sealant was applied correctly during installation. Re-tighten or re-seal if necessary.
• Water Stains/Spots: Stainless steel can show water spots, especially in hard water areas. Wipe the sink dry after each use with a soft cloth to prevent mineral buildup.
• Scratches: While the brushed surface is scratch-resistant, deep scratches can occur. Use the included dish grids to minimize direct contact with heavy or sharp objects.
