Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
SCHOCK sinks made of Cristalite® or Cristadur® are easy to clean. For daily care, use water and a mild detergent. Avoid aggressive chlorine-based cleaning agents. SCHOCK recommends their dedicated care products for stubborn stains and to maintain the surface finish.
While DIY installation is possible, SCHOCK strongly recommends professional installation. Improper installation may void the warranty, particularly for plumbing connections and faucets.
SCHOCK recommends using the SF-100 coarse particle filter (part no. 629883) to protect the cartridge and aerator of their premium taps from damage caused by dirt or grit in the water supply.
