5. Operating Instructions

The Sakugi Over The Sink Dish Drying Rack is designed for intuitive use, providing an organized space for drying your kitchenware.

Adjusting the Rack Width:

To adjust the width of the rack, locate the adjustable sections on the main frame. Loosen the Thumb Screws (S) on these sections, slide the frame to expand or contract it to fit your sink, and then firmly tighten the Thumb Screws (S) to lock the desired width in place.

Loading Kitchenware:

• Plates and Bowls: Place plates vertically in the Plate Basket (G) and bowls in the Bowl Basket (H) for efficient drying.
• Utensils and Knives: Use the Utensil Holder (L) for forks, spoons, and other small utensils. The Knife Holder (K) is designed for safe storage of knives.
• Cutting Boards: The Cutting Board Holder (M) provides a dedicated space for drying cutting boards.
• Sponges and Soaps: The Sponge Basket (J) is ideal for drying sponges, brushes, and holding dish soap.
• Other Items: Storage Baskets (E, F) and the Fruit Basket (I) can be used for various other kitchen items, including fruits, vegetables, or additional drying space for pots and pans.
• Utility Hooks: Hang cups, dishcloths, or other small items on the Utility Hooks (N).

Automatic Drainage:

The rack's position directly over the sink ensures that water dripping from washed items flows directly into your sink, eliminating the need for a separate drip tray and keeping your countertop dry.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your dish drying rack.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Wipe the rack regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove water spots, dust, and food residue.
• For stubborn stains, use a mild dish soap solution and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water marks.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the protective coating and stainless steel finish.
• The waterproof and fingerprint-proof coating simplifies cleaning and helps maintain a pristine appearance.

Rust Prevention:

While the rack is made from rust-resistant 304 stainless steel with a protective coating, ensuring proper drying after cleaning and avoiding prolonged exposure to highly acidic or alkaline substances will further prevent any potential corrosion.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your dish drying rack, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Rack is unstable or wobbly:
  Solution: Ensure all screws, especially the Long Screws (Q) and Thumb Screws (S), are fully tightened. Verify that the four Suction Cups (O) are firmly pressed onto a clean, dry, and smooth countertop surface.
• Rack does not fit over the sink:
  Solution: Double-check your sink's width and faucet height against the product's adjustable range (31.5"-39.5" width, faucet height less than 21"). Adjust the rack's width as described in Section 5. If dimensions are incompatible, the product may not be suitable for your sink.
• Water is pooling on the countertop:
  Solution: Ensure the rack is positioned directly over the sink opening so that all dripping water falls into the sink basin. Check for any obstructions preventing water from draining freely.
• Baskets or holders are loose:
  Solution: Re-secure any baskets or holders by ensuring they are correctly hooked onto the bars or that their respective screws (Short Screws R) are tightened.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Sakugi customer support for further assistance.
