FAQs
Is the Bocchi Sotto fireclay sink resistant to heat?
Yes, fireclay is fired at extremely high temperatures during manufacturing, making it highly heat-resistant and suitable for daily kitchen use.
Can I install this as an under-mount sink?
The Sotto 305/455S is designed to be versatile, but verify your countertop material and mounting brackets are appropriate for the specific installation method before cutting your counter.
Does the sink come with a mounting template?
Yes, standard Bocchi installations include documentation or a template to assist with the cutout process; consult your local plumber for precise sizing.
What is the best way to clean this sink?
Use warm water, a soft cloth, and a gentle liquid soap. Avoid abrasive scouring pads to keep the glaze pristine.
Is the waste kit included in the box?
Yes, the Sotto 12 (305/455S) comes complete with the necessary waste components to facilitate a quick installation.
Will acidic liquids like lemon juice damage the finish?
Fireclay is non-porous and highly resistant to acids, so household liquids like lemon juice will not stain or etch the surface if cleaned promptly.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn stains or discoloration
Apply a mild abrasive cleanser or a paste made of baking soda and water, let sit for 10 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.
Dull surface appearance
Ensure the sink is rinsed of soap residue daily and occasionally polish with a soft cloth to restore the original luster.
Leaking around the drain
Check the rubber gaskets in the included waste kit and ensure the flange is tightened securely against the sink basin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When installing the Sotto 305/455S, ensure your countertop can support the weight of the fireclay basin. Because fireclay is heavy, proper under-mount or drop-in support brackets are essential. When selecting a faucet, consider a medium-reach spout to ensure water lands near the center of the drain to minimize splashback. For daily maintenance, wipe the surface with a non-abrasive sponge and mild dish soap. Avoid using steel wool or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the high-gloss finish of the fireclay glaze over time.
