Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your stainless steel sink.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the sink and drainboard surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each use. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Drying: Wipe with a dry cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the stainless steel finish.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based cleaners) as these can scratch or damage the stainless steel surface.
- Stubborn Stains: For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and follow the product instructions. Always rub in the direction of the grain.
- Drain Maintenance: Regularly clean the sink strainer to prevent food particles from accumulating and causing clogs. Periodically flush the drain pipe with hot water.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your sink.
Common Issues and Solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sink wobbles or is unstable | Uneven floor surface; foot pads not adjusted | Adjust the individual foot pads until the sink is level and stable. |
| Water leaks from faucet connections | Loose connections; damaged seals | Tighten all faucet hose connections. Check and replace any damaged washers or seals. |
