1. Attach Leg Attachments: Secure the four leg attachments to the designated slots on the underside of the drip tray. These provide elevation for proper drainage.

3. Place Main Dish Rack: Position the main dish rack frame onto the elevated drip tray.
4. Attach Extendable Section: Slide the extendable rack section into the main frame. Ensure it locks securely into place.
5. Attach Utensil Holder: Clip the 3-compartment utensil holder onto the side of the main dish rack frame.

Operating Instructions

1. Placement

Place the assembled dish drying rack on your kitchen countertop or directly over your sink. Ensure the drain spout is positioned to direct water into the sink.

2. Extending the Rack

To increase drying space, gently pull the extendable rack section outwards. This allows for additional capacity, especially useful for larger items or when drying over a wider sink. Push it back in to save space when not needed.

Maintenance and Cleaning

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your SNTD Dish Drying Rack, regular cleaning is recommended:

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, empty any residual water from the drip tray. Wipe down the rack and tray with a soft, damp cloth to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
• Deep Cleaning: Periodically, disassemble the rack by removing the main rack frame, extendable section, and utensil holder from the drip tray. Wash all components with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling.
• Rust Prevention: While the rack is made of rustproof materials, prolonged exposure to standing water or harsh chemicals can affect its finish. Ensure proper drainage and avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

• Water pooling on countertop:
  • Ensure the drain spout is properly extended and positioned directly over the sink.
  • Verify that the sink width is less than 21.2 inches to allow the extendable feet to sit correctly.
  • Check that the drip tray is angled correctly and not obstructed.
• Rack instability:
  • Confirm that all four leg attachments are securely snapped into place on the drip tray.
  • Ensure the rack is placed on a flat, stable surface.
• Difficulty extending/retracting:
  • Check for any debris or food particles obstructing the sliding mechanism. Clean if necessary.
  • Ensure the rack is not overloaded, which could cause resistance.
