Ensure you are using mild detergents and avoiding abrasive cleaners. For persistent marks, try a paste of baking soda and water, applied gently with a soft cloth.
Check the sink trap and waste pipe for blockages. Ensure the weir overflow is clear and not obstructed.
Verify that the cabinet or supporting structure is adequate for the sink's weight (49.5 kg). Ensure all mounting fixings are secure and correctly fitted.
While fireclay is durable, heavy impacts can cause damage. Minor scratches may be buffed out with a non-abrasive cleaner. Deeper chips may require professional repair or consideration of replacement.
Setup: This sink requires a robust base cabinet. Due to its significant weight (49.5 kg), it is recommended to use a reinforced cabinet or to install supporting framework within the cabinet to bear the load. Installation typically involves a countertop or cabinet top mounting. As there are no pre-drilled tap holes, you will need a diamond-tipped drill bit suitable for ceramic or fireclay to create these on-site, ensuring accurate placement before installation.
Compatibility: The sink is designed with a standard waste outlet and requires compatible plumbing fittings. Ensure your plumbing system can accommodate the weight and dimensions (595 x 455 mm) and that your chosen worktop material can support its load.
Care: To maintain the gloss finish, clean the sink regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface. For stubborn marks, a paste of baking soda and water can be used gently. Always rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
