Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will preserve the appearance and functionality of your stainless steel sink.
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the sink with a soft cloth or sponge and mild dish soap after each use. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the direction of the grain.
- Prevent Rust: Avoid leaving iron or steel objects in the sink for extended periods, as they can cause rust spots.
- Drain Care: Periodically clean the drain strainer to prevent clogs and maintain proper drainage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your sink, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the faucet aerator for mineral buildup and clean if necessary.
- Leaks Around Connections: Ensure all water supply lines and drain connections are securely tightened. Check for damaged gaskets and replace if needed.
- Slow Drainage: Remove the drain strainer and clear any debris. If the problem persists, the drain pipe may be clogged and require further cleaning.
- Temperature Display Not Working: Ensure water is flowing through the faucet. The display is water-flow powered. If still not working, check connections.
- Water Spots/Stains: These are common with hard water. Wipe the sink dry after each use. For existing spots, use a stainless steel cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water, then rinse and dry.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
