Operating Instructions

Your VALISY farmhouse sink is designed for efficient and versatile kitchen tasks.

• Workstation Design: The integrated ledges allow for sliding accessories such as the wooden cutting board, deep stainless steel colander, and dish-drying roll-up rack. This converts your sink into a functional workspace, saving countertop space.
• Efficient Drainage: The sink features a sloped bottom and an X-shaped drainage pattern to ensure quick and thorough water drainage, preventing water stagnation.
• Deep Bowl Capacity: The 9-inch deep bowl accommodates large roasting pans, baking sheets, and skillets, making dishwashing easier.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your stainless steel sink.

• Daily Cleaning: Wipe the sink with a soft, dry cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup. For general cleaning, use a mild soap or detergent with warm water and a soft sponge or cloth.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the brushed nickel finish.
• Prevent Stains: Avoid leaving acidic foods, harsh chemicals, or metallic objects in the sink for extended periods, as they can cause discoloration or rust.
• Condensation Protection: The sink features thick rubber pads and a heavy undercoating to reduce sound and protect your cabinet from condensation.
• Easy-to-Clean Corners: The R-10 round corners are designed for easy cleaning and to prevent residue buildup.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your sink, refer to the following common solutions:

• Slow Drainage: Check the drain basket for food debris or blockages. Ensure the X-shaped drainage pattern is clear.
• Water Spots/Stains: Regularly wipe the sink dry after use. For stubborn spots, use a stainless steel cleaner specifically designed for brushed finishes.
• Scratches: Stainless steel can scratch with heavy use. Minor scratches can often be blended with a fine-grit Scotch-Brite pad, always rubbing in the direction of the grain.
• Rust Spots: While T304 stainless steel is highly rust-resistant, rust spots can occur if ferrous materials (like cast iron pans) are left in contact with the sink, or from certain chemicals. Clean immediately with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
