2. Installation Guide
2.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Verify all components are present: sink, mounting accessories.
- Ensure the countertop cut-out matches the specified dimensions (760 x 480 mm for standard built-in).
- Confirm adequate space for a 600 mm base unit.
- Prepare necessary tools: sealant, measuring tape, saw (if cutting countertop), screwdriver, drill.
2.2 Mounting Instructions
The SCHOCK Primus D100XS sink is designed for built-in (recessed) installation. Follow these general steps:
- Carefully place the sink into the prepared countertop cut-out.
- Ensure the sink is properly aligned and level.
- Secure the sink using the provided mounting clips and accessories from underneath the countertop.
- Apply a suitable sealant around the edges of the sink to prevent water ingress.
- Connect the plumbing for the drain and faucet according to local codes.

3. Usage Instructions
The SCHOCK Primus D100XS kitchen sink is designed for standard kitchen tasks including washing dishes, preparing food, and general cleaning. Its large bowl accommodates various kitchenware, while the integrated drainer provides a convenient area for drying or thawing.
- Ensure the drain plug is properly seated when filling the bowl with water.
- Avoid placing extremely heavy or sharp objects directly onto the sink surface from a height to prevent potential damage, despite its impact resistance.
- Utilize the drainer for items that require air drying or for temporary placement of wet items.
4. Care and Maintenance
4.1 Daily Cleaning
The Cristalite® material is naturally antibacterial and easy to clean. For daily maintenance:
- Wipe the sink surface with a soft cloth or sponge and mild dish soap after each use.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
- Dry the sink with a soft cloth to prevent water spots, especially in hard water areas.
4.2 Stain and Impact Resistance
The Cristalite® material is highly resistant to stains, impacts, and high temperatures. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for composite sinks can be used. Always test any new cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the surface finish over time.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your kitchen sink.
- Slow Drainage: Check for food debris or blockages in the drain. Use a plunger or a drain cleaner designed for kitchen sinks. Avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners if possible, as they can sometimes affect plumbing.
- Water Spots: These are common in hard water areas. Regularly dry the sink after use. For existing spots, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
- Minor Scratches: While Cristalite is highly scratch-resistant, minor surface marks can occur with heavy use. For light marks, specialized composite sink repair kits may be available from the manufacturer.
- Leaking: If you notice leaks around the drain or faucet, check the seals and connections. Tighten any loose fittings. If the issue persists, professional plumbing assistance may be required.
