Operating Instructions

To effectively use your Joseph Joseph Duo 2-Tier Dish Rack:

• Placement: Position the dish rack on your countertop next to the sink, ensuring the integrated spout extends over the sink basin for direct water drainage. The non-slip feet will help keep it stable.
• Expanding the Rack: To increase drying capacity, gently pull the upper tier upwards. This extends the rack, providing additional space for larger items or more dishes.
• Drying Plates and Bowls: Utilize the prongs on the upper tier to securely hold plates and bowls upright, allowing for optimal airflow and drainage.
• Drying Glasses and Crockery: Place glasses and other crockery on the lower tier's ridged surface. The ridges are designed to prevent water from pooling inside the items.
• Utensil Drying: Use the movable utensil pot for drying cutlery. It can be placed in various positions on the rack for convenience.

Maintenance

To maintain the cleanliness and functionality of your dish rack:

• Regular Cleaning: Wash the dish rack regularly with warm, soapy water. For thorough cleaning, the rack can be disassembled.
• Dishwasher Safe: The components of the dish rack are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
• Preventing Limescale: To prevent limescale buildup, especially in hard water areas, wipe down the drainage areas and surfaces frequently. A solution of white vinegar and water can be used for stubborn deposits.
• Drying: Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent mold or mildew.

  • Verify that the countertop surface beneath the spout is level or slightly sloped towards the sink to facilitate drainage.
• Rack Instability:
  • Confirm that the dish rack is placed on a flat, stable surface.
  • Ensure all components, especially the upper tier, are securely assembled.
  • Check that the non-slip feet are clean and intact.
• Difficulty Expanding/Collapsing:
