4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Sakugi Dish Drying Rack:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Adjust Length: The rack features adjustable supporting bars. Gently pull out the bars on both sides to extend the length from 15.4 inches to up to 24 inches. Adjust it to fit your sink's width.
- Placement:
- Inside the Sink: Place the rack directly inside your sink for efficient water drainage. Ensure the non-slip rubber covers on the bars provide a secure fit.
- Over the Sink: Extend the supporting bars to rest the rack over the edges of your sink. The non-slip rubber covers will help prevent movement.
- Attach Cutlery Holder: Hook the removable cutlery holder onto the side of the main rack where desired.
- Check Sink Compatibility: Before purchase and setup, ensure your sink dimensions are compatible. The rack measures 15.4"L x 9.8"W x 3"H when compact, and expands to 24" in length. The depth of your sink must be above 3.5 inches for optimal use inside the sink.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rack slips or moves on sink edge. | Improper adjustment; wet or dirty non-slip covers; sink surface is slippery. | Ensure the expandable bars are fully extended and securely resting on the sink edges. Clean and dry the non-slip rubber covers and the sink surface before placement. |
| Rack does not fit my sink. | Sink dimensions are outside the rack's adjustable range. | Verify your sink's internal and external dimensions against the product specifications (15.4" to 24" length, 9.8" width). Ensure sink depth is adequate if placing inside. |
| Water spots or residue on the rack. | Improper drying after cleaning; hard water. | Always dry the rack immediately after washing. For hard water spots, use a solution of white vinegar and water, then rinse and dry. |
